Rosetta's Stoned: /* Transcript added a translation to a previously unintelligible phrase. When Chris make's reference to former Lego stop motion creator Stonebreakers10 or Matt Giuduce on youtube. Added Cwcisms; Chris doesn't pronounce the second 's' in 'Stonebreakers10' hence why I transcribed it as such. Also to "that's what she said douchebag' as Chris pronounces douchebag with a 'd' before saying bag. */

'''CWC Lego Manchester High School Oct 18 2013''' is a video uploaded on 5 [[November 2013]], in which [[Rocky Shoemaker]] holds the camera<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Marvin)#Rocky Filming Lego Manchester]]</ref> while Chris guides the viewer around a [[Lego]] version of [[Manchester High School]]. Ironically, Chris made this nostalgic video just days before discovering that his high school [[gal-pals]] had been done out of pity or arranged (making Chris bringing up [[Bob]] having [[Chris and negotiation|negotiations]] with the principal some eerie foreshadowing).

The video was filmed inside a [[McDonald's]] restaurant,<ref>The cup that's on the table matches [https://live.staticflickr.com/8095/8386931567_93cf393b8f_b.jpg this image] of the restaurant's cup design from around that time.</ref> possibly due to the sheer amount of clutter at [[14 Branchland Court|his house]].

This was the first video featuring himself on camera that Chris personally uploaded onto [[YouTube]] since [[August 2011]], a hiatus of almost three years and the longest gap between vlogs since Chris joined YouTube in [[2007]]. Another year-long gap would occur between this and his [[I Love You, Catherine|next video]].

This Lego build was one of Chris's most important concerns after the [[Destruction Of Chris's House|fire in 14 Branchland Court]]. Unfortunately for Chris, while the Lego MHS did survive the fire, it suffered major damage and had to be rebuilt.<ref>https://www.flickr.com/photos/cwcvilleguardian/sets/72157645275865696/</ref>

==Description==
{{Quotebox|It took me over thirty hours in a whole week, but I built a full size school building, based from the Lego Friends animated Series (on the Lego Channel on [[YouTube]]). Fully inspired from [[Manchester High School|my High School]] and my fondest memories there, as well as the Best Ever Lego Set, Heartlake High School and "[[My Little Pony]]: Equestria Girls" movie. It is built, stud-to-stud scale, as shown in episode three of the animated series, where it is shown from one corner to the back and its left. Let's go back to school.

Disclaimer: The High School Building in its entirety was built from LEGO Brand pieces, elements and bricks; ONLY two character minifigures shown in this video were comprised of Kre-O.}}

=== Transcript ===

[''Chris is seated in a public [[McDonald's]] restaurant. His hair is shoulder length and he is wearing a long sleeved lime-green top with a black [http://www.extra-life.org/ Extra Life] T-shirt over the top. The aspect ratio of the video is unusual, being a 16:9 video squeezed to 4:3, and the video appears to warp, possibly as the result of YouTube's anti-shake feature.'']

Hello, my name is Christian Weston Chandler, [[Ruckersville]], Virginia. And I here to [''[[Speech impediment|stumbles over words]]''] about to present something very [[Chris and English|fantastical]] that I have worked over three hours on--over 30 hours on, from October 18 to October 25, 2013. [''camera pans left''] This lovely high school! Stud-to-scud...size, scale replica of what is seen in the 3rd episode of the ''Lego Friends'' series available on the Lego Channel on [[YouTube]]. Dedicated to the high school I went to, Manchester High. [[Manchester_High#Go_Lancers.21|Go, Lancers]].

[''to the camera person''] [[Chris and his ego#Unwarranted self-importance|All right, put it back onto me now]]. [''camera pans back to Chris'']

Yeah, and uh, I'll tell you about how I did--I did--I'll tell you more about this, I was inspired to do this starting from last August, [''camera pans right''] when the Fr--when the Friends High School came out. [''Chris points towards a Lego Friends box and an old yearbook from 2000.''] Now this thing was built with eight of these sets: a Summer Riding Camp, Olivia's House, one Café, two of Stephanie's Dance Classes, and a whole bunch of improvising from my parts. The building of this is dedicated to Manchester High School in Midlothian, Virginia.

And which on that note, I was further inspired for my high school from the ''[[My Little Pony]]: Equestria Girls'' movie. I mean, tell you, that's a really great movie, available on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital copidy.

[''Chris closes the book and the camera pans back to him''] My senior yearbook, yep. Anyway, so, [''Chris bumps into something''] now we're going to take a tour of the inside of this-- [''something falls down''] what did I just knock over? Oh. [''Chris places a sign with the Lego Friends logo in it back onto the table''] It also, yeah, just Lego Friends, just a little plug in for the Lego Company, pretty much and ''The Lego Movie'', coming out in [[February 2014]], and I'm standing right here at the entrance. Go ahead, zoom in on me there. [''The camera does not.'']

Yay! I mean, Lego, get--take an idea from the other, from the ah, from your competitors at least--. [''video flashes white, jump cut'']

W'anyway, we're going to go inside the school building. This thing is... literally the three story height. [''mutters to himself while attempting to remove the top layer''] I gotta move this ''dump(?)''... hope(?) I don't accidentally knock it over. [''He knocks something over.''] Eh, there goes... that basketball hoop. [''tries to put it back on, gives up and takes both hoops off''] Eh. Pretty much gonna set them off to the side. [''Chris starts taking the third and second stories off his building, but doesn't have enough space to set it aside.''] I need more '''room.''' [''Chris partially sets half of the top on the bottom half and starts moving it over to the side; a bunch of pieces start disconnecting and falling off''] Ah, whatever, that's..... ah, shoot. Oh well, no problem, I'll collect the pieces later.

Anyway, welcome to Man--welcome to this... hi, welcome to this high school. We've got expansive hallways and staircases. There's the cafeteria, and here's the lunch table, pretty much where which I used to sit with my high school gal-pals [[Tiffany Gowen|Tiffany]] and [[Galpal#Sarah_Anne_Bevel|Sarah]]. And... [[Barbara Chandler|Ma]] is takin' ma, takin' my place there for the moment. [''Chris points to and moves a gal-pal minifig, instead of the [[:Image:LegoSnorlax.jpg|Barbara minifig]] he likely meant to pick up instead.'']

Oh, look who we have here, is Stonebreaker10's, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDPVGzBPT7E Zac, the 'That's-What-She-Said' Douchedbag], flirting with [[Star Wars|Ahsoka]]. And look, Michaelangelo's eating a pizza! Nomnomnomnomnom. And Venus de Milo is practicing her cheerleading moves.

Here's the principal, the Infomaniac from ''Lego Island'', not in any way corresponding or whatever to acting in past principal Mr. Peter Koste. And there's my [[dad]], negotiating with the Principal, because, [[Gal pal#The illusion shattered|that's one way to make friends in high school]], [[Chris and negotiation|negotiation]].

And here is the home economics class.

There's the music.

And here is the gym, complete with treadmill, a bunch of yoga mats, a weight machine, two ex-, two exercise bikes, basketballs and boyfriend-girlfriend gym teachers, and there's the showers that they gotta hit plus the bathroom right net to it, and the locker rooms where [[Laura Beth Dorazio|cheerleaders]] are hanging out, plus this little boy, apparently he can't sit down because the wedgie he got was so uncomfortable.

Yes, the Manchester High School spirit is all the rage around this--all the rage around here and the stair case literally goes up!

[[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|Doo doo]] de dup! Ba-bump ba-bump, that works. Thank you.

[''Chris puts the second story onto the building''] And now we go up to the second floor, zoom in on the hallway, the hallway. Here, [[Transformers|Bumblebee Prime]] is monitoring the hallways.

We have ourselves an expensive library, look, somebody left a book behind. And we got... whole bunches of books everywhere!

Right here we've got the computer lab, somebody printed out something, and the teacher's teaching the class. And here's my original mini-figure, taking--taking a class with my other gal-pal [[Galpal#Miranda_Joyce_Mitchell|Miranda]], right there.

And right here, you can call this a study hall or detention, but [[Megan Schroeder|a certain someone from my more recent years]] is in detention, at the moment.

Hmm, well, I did not secure the second floor to the bottom because I didn't want to do that just yet.

Anyway this is the science classroom with, clearly, the French character Miss Stevens. [[Kellie Andes|Kellie]]'s taking this class, looking through the telescope, and, oh right here next door, here's another science class, featuring Dr Emmett Brown! "Marty! 2 plus 2 is 4! E=MC²! And the flux capacitor makes the DeLorean into a time machine! Pay attention, boy!" "Yeah, Doc."

And the English classroom, my Mother is teaching it, and they're talking about Abraham Lincoln. 4 score and 7 years ago. I forget how the rest goes. What are you trying to do? Cheat off your partner for a test?

And there's a janitor's closet.

And here's a dance studio.

We got all the supporting columns, I mean, the only problem I have is, definite on the second floor here, some of the bigger plates are warped so they don't tend to stay in place. Well, I don't know what Lego can do to improve that.

[''Chris places the third story onto the building''] Then we go up to the third--topmost floor, where we have arts and crafts, with the craftmaking--dress making over here. Globe making.

And the arts, with painting and everything. Complete with balcony, and then we zoom out for the whole rooftop where, once in a while, everyone can have rooftop parties. {{w|Tonight Tonight (Hot Chelle Rae song)|Tonight, tonight,}} there's a party on the rooftop tonight, tonight!

And what do you expect, each of the High School sets came with an owl. [[Random-access humor|"Hoo hoo" You, that's who!]]

Zoom out and see the whole thing again.

So anyway yes, I, Christian Weston Chandler, dedicate the construction of this entire school building to my Man--to my Manchester High School in Midlothian, Virginia, not to be confused with Manchester, England, or any other high school with the same name within the United States of America.

YIP, YIP, YIP!

Thank you very much, and have a good day!
