I really, really doubt this is the sort of undertaking you can expect to finish. Because holy shit Chris owns a lot of crap.--Beat 15:34, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Toys and adulthood
I am thinking how I can upgrade the article to add some background or context to Chris’s massive fleet of toys, and what sets Chris apart from other adults. I am planning on starting with something along the lines of:
Firstly, it is important to know that it is not unusual for adults to play with toys, but when they do, there is a purpose. For example, adults often buy soft toys to celebrate an occasion such as a birthday or wedding, or to cope with loneliness or trauma. Another example involves a community of circuit benders, who buy used battery-powered electronic toys to create new sounds and visual effects.
Even Lego blocks have legitimate uses in adulthood: in 2019, Chinese human rights activist Ai Weiwei launched an exhibition that featured the portraits of 43 Mexican students who disappeared in 2014, made entirely of Lego blocks. Ai aimed to convey the “democratic” utility of Lego, specifically to raise awareness of Mexico’s problem with organized crime.(source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-47907840) And then there’s the Olsen Gang.(source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6COREb5RDCg) |

Old/current room
How should the phrasing for "old room", "current room" be fixed? Since it's not Chris's current room anymore. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 21:59, 27 May 2023 (EDT)
