| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Hello Robert this is Craig and Amfermee. How are you doing?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Not to swell.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> No?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> No...
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Are you feeling better?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> No not really.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Uh your wife told us that you got out of the hospital and we just wanted to see how you're doing.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Yeah well I got through the surgery okay.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Well that's good, that's good. But how was your day?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Pretty boring.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh really? Why is that?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well I've got other little problems, too.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh okay, alright. Well what kind of problems?
| |
| <br><font color="RoyalBlue">''' Amfermee:'''</font> What happened?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well I also have had two triple bypasses and three heart attacks and a pacemaker.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh wow.
| |
| <br><font color="RoyalBlue">''' Amfermee:'''</font> Man.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> And on top of the surgery and stuff I'm now getting fluid build up in my foot- my feet and my legs. Which could lead, I guess, to heart failure.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh no.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> But I'm fighting it. But anyway I've been better.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Well that's good Rober- Bobby. That's good y'know. I really hope that you pull through this y'know.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Oh I will. [unintelligible overlap]
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Is it possible- oh, sorry. [pause] So what are you watching Bobby?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Wheel of Fortune. What else?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh y'know I was just asking. I always thought you would be a Price is Right kind of man.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Anyway.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> [laughs] Is it possible anyway, Bobby, that we can talk to Chris?
| |
| <br><font color="RoyalBlue">''' Amfermee:'''</font> Is-
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Yeah he'll make it alright. He's hanging in.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Well that's good. Y'know cause he- I was thinking about you for the last couple of days after speaking to your wife. And I was actually praying for you.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well I made it through. I could have died in surgery really easy.
| |
| <br><font color="RoyalBlue">''' Amfermee:'''</font> Oh man that's scary to think about.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> That is, that is.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well you just face it and take what comes, I guess.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Well yeah you're a pretty strong man, y'know. You served in Korea. Y'know if you can survive Korea you can survive anything y'know.
| |
| <br><font color="RoyalBlue">''' Amfermee:'''</font> [whisper] Ask for Chris.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Hey Bobby is it possible that we could talk to Chris?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> No he's not here.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Okay. Alright so-
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> He's down town. I didn't [overlap] was going.
| |
| <br><font color="RoyalBlue">''' Amfermee:'''</font> We didn't know he didn't answer this phone.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> No he's got his own phone.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh okay, nice. He probably has one of those iPhones eh?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Yeah a cell phone or whatever.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> I hate my cellphone I don't even use it. You know what I'm talking about.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> I don't have one.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah they're so much of a neusiance. All the money you pay into it and then if you lose it- ugh.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> That's the way the world goes 'round.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah no I understand. It's all about making money and making tiny electronic things that you're just gonna lose.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> It's all about something else too.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh yeah.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> You're missing the most important thing.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> What's that Bobby?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Most people, probably 98% of the people it's all about what can you do for me.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Exactly. I agree. That is how it's always been. Ever since the dawn of time and the pilgrims came to Plymouth Rock it's always been like that.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Yep and it'll always be that way, too. Bunch of greedy individuals in this world.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh unbelievably how greedy people are in this world. It's very disgusting y'know. I'm going to school and I'm so disgusted how people are in group projects for engineering and stuff. They just don't want to do any work they would rather have you do all the work for them and they get the grade. It's just horrible.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> That's right and that's what I went through.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah and I-
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> The only people that did any filling were the ones that were on the G.I. bill.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yep.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> The others just wanted to play around.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Like the ones with the money and the ones from the rich families who didn't deserve it y'know they're just the ones like "Oh let's go out and party," y'know.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Yep. That's right.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh man y'know. Oh! I've got some good news actually. I've actually signed up for the Reserves light armor inventry.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> You did, huh?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> You might be able to get on the G.I. bill.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah you never know, hey? Serving my country and getting an education. There's nothing wrong with that.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> That's the way I got an education.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> That's actually how my dad got his education too. Yeah that's pretty good y'know.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> That's not a bad thing. If you come back, that is. [laughs]
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh yeah. It's not a bad thing at all. [laughs] Y'know it's just the adventure where you take a step forward and you cut the tie between family and you go off and serve your country and if you get an education out of that that's good. Better yourself and your country, I always say.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well that's the way they figure it. They've got trained people back home then.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah it's amazing like- you must have like a million awesome stories about Korea.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Not too many.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> No?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> I was a reserve before the Korean war.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> So where were you? North Korea?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> No I was in South Korea there. I was there when we liberated Korea from the Japanese.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh really?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> You didn't know that Japan had Korea?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yes, I remember that. They uh exported most of the rice back to Japan.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Yeah and they were using Korea as a stepping point to attacking China.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yep. I remember that in history class.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Then in 1947 when we were in there liberating Korea from the Japanese.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> I remember that. Oh man Bobby that must have been exciting for you.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well the UN in all their great wisdoms split Korea in two, right? They gave most of Korea to China. [laugh]
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Talk about a big mistake from the UN, hey?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Yeah and they did the same with North and South Vietnam.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> I rememb- I remember. Yes they-
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> They did the same thing to Laos. There's been quite a few that they've done that to and screwed up on. They did the same thing to Czechoslovakia and then they gave all of Western Europe to Russia- Eastern Europe to Russia.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah that's okay. Yeah and St-
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> And in all their infinite wisdom I think they screwed up a little bit.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh yeah like giving Israel to the Jews in WWII when that was part of Palestine and belongs to the Palestinians.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well everybody in the world was kicking them out so what are you gonna do? You gotta put them in some place.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> That is true.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> They deserve a home country.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> That is exactly true, Bobby, I agree with you on that.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> That- [laugh] They can't seem to be happy in their own self over there.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> [laugh] Exactly like. Oh man, like I- the UN is just so phenominal to me. It is such a great entity to Democracy and protecting the lives of innocent people and y'know just taking care of the human race in general and- the whole history of it all is like. It always nourished my mind. This is the reason I joined the Reserves. I wanna serve my country in Afghanistan and Iraq. And this is why I wanna be an engineer to better the lives of people.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> They also broke up Persia. And Iraq and Iran.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yes I remember that.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> And Saudi Arabia. Whatever they did it didn't work too smoothly. But anyway I'm a strong believer in the UN too. I always have been.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah, same here. The UN does a lot of good peacekeeping missions overseas.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> In fact I have a UN seal on my car.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Are you serious?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> I do. My uh license plate reads "UN Forever".
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh nice. That is awesome like. Nah that is really awesome. My uncle did a few peacekeeping missions for the United Nations in Cyprus back in the 80s.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Yeah.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah. That is awesome, Bobby. I did not know that.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well we all got our little pet peeves I guess. [laughs]
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> No it's understandable. Mine's Hillary Clinton.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Anyway I gotta go. I got my foot hurting.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> All right Bob. You have a great night and I'll talk to you later, okay?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Alright we'll see you. Buh-bye.

| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Y'know a little extra time always helps.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh yeah-
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> If you've been sitting around all year. [laughs]
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> [laughs] Oh man, tell me about it. Like 8 ho- like 4 hours in the class like studying and reading. Oh man it's just good to get out of that. Oh but uh- yeah I'm glad to see you're doing better. I hope you feel better y'know.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well I'm trying to come back a long way.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh. Well y'know you'll make it, Bob. Y'know. You're an engineer right. They just don't give up on the job they just try and solve it, right?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> That's right. There's got to be another way out.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Exactly, exactly. [laughs]
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> I've had- got an old thing. That if you can't climb the mountain from one direction you just turn around and start in another direction.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Exactly. That is so true. That is so true. And I use like- oh. That's the saying I'm going to use next time when I'm studying for my exams and tests and stuff. Uh hey-
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> I'm watching an old movie here.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh really, which movie?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> You ever watch the old movies?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh yeah. I love the old movies. Which old movie are you watching?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well this is one with Will Rogers in it.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Boy Rogers?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> So it's really old. Will Rogers.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Okay.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> You ever heard of Will Rogers?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Will Rogers? Yeah I've heard of Will Rogers.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Yeah he's one of the greatest comedians that ever lived.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh really?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Anyway and this is one of the ones he made in 1935.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Okay.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> And it's great. [laughs]
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Uh let's [laughs along]. Let's see 1935 Will Rogers movies. Uh, is it. Is it Life Begins at 40?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> No.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Uh, Downing Thomas?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> I forgot the name. It's got Billy Burke in it.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Billy Burke?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> It's got Billy Burke. She was the actress that was that I think played the part of Gracie Allen with George Burns in Gracie Allen. Way back in [unintelligible] days .
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> It's either Downing Thomas or it's in Old Kentucky I believe.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> I don't know.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh, okay.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> I didn't see the name of it.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Uh, okay I love the old movies.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> It's up in- Downing Thomas. That's it. That's the name of it.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh, Downing Thomas. That's a good movie, Bob.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Yeah it is. [laughs] It's great.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> [laughs] Who would have thought? Two engi- an engineer and a guy trying to become an engineer both love Will Rogers movies.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Yeah he was from Oklahoma.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah he was actually. Yeah you're right, actually. He was born I believe in '79 and I believe he died in '35.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Yeah it was about the time he died it's a 1935 movie.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah. Oh man.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> It's on Turner Classic Movies right now on the cable.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh I love Turner Classic Movies. I especially love the old silent movies they play once in a while. Early in the morning.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Yeah. Yeah I used to lay- I used to record 'em. I loved the dubbed in soundtrack they've got now.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> [Bob tries to talk] Oh man I love the- Oh, sorry sir.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Y'know they go out and hire people to write scores and perform the scores for the soundtracks for those silent movies.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yes I do actually remember watching a documentary on that and they were talking about Lon Chaney Junior and the Phil Harmonic Orchestra or Philip Glass and that he composed orchestra scores for a few of the- Lon Chaney Junior's movies. I love that about the classic movies.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Yeah I used to- I used to watch some just to record the soundtrack they dubbed on there. The accompanying music in them.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh, beautiful music, eh?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well yeah it is. Most of it. Particularly when they get the old ballroom gown and the tear jerking drama musics they got back then.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> [laughs] Oh that music just always makes me- it moves me really. Because it's the artistic creativity of the one person watching something that is- that's art now and trying to dub over his own sense of creativity, art and love for that for that work of art that he's doing. Y'know.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> That's right, he's interpreting what he thinks he's seeing so he can have answers for the viewer.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Exactly. [Bob laughs, Craig joins in] And that's what I love about Turner classic movies and their old score- and their remade scores. Oh but you must have seen a lot of great movies in your day, eh Bob?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Yeah I grew up with em.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah like-
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> I used to go to the movies every day of the week except for Sunday. There were no movies on Sunday.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yes because that is the Sabbath.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> 'least where I grew up.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah same here Bob.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> I was in the Deep South. In the Deep South nothing happened on Sunday except for church. [laughs]
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> [laughs] And that's the way it should always be, right?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> I think so. I think that's still a good idea.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> I think so too. It's still a great idea. What really upsets me is like when I go to WallMart when I drive by a WallMart on a Sunday. And it's still open.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> [laughs] Well anyway. I used to go- we had 3- I grew up in a small town. It was really a combination of a crossroads town and a cotton mill town. We had a cotton mill that was actually two little towns together. And we had 3 movie houses.

| |
| <font color="#724c21">'''Rufus:'''</font> Hi everybody this is Rufus from PCAssassins. Now this Bob Call number 6 was originally one hour 45 minutes. We had to cut back a lot of shit about Bob. Bob was talking about engineering and shit that we did not really care about. But you get about 16 minutes in about what would happen to Chris after he died, what about Megan and uh a whole lot of other dumb bullshit about Chris and closed captions. The first five minutes is about Chris and closed captions. We decided to keep that shit in to remind you guys that if you have a retarded child make sure that you turn on the closed captions. I don't know what that shit is all about. That's a lot of bullshit. Anyway we hope you enjoy the call, we hope you guys give us all questions to ask of Robert. But uh we hope you all enjoy Bob Call Number 6 - What'll happen to Chris. Thank you.
| |
|
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well he's the one who came up with the idea of turning on the closed captions. It wasn't me. It wasn't no psychiatrist, it wasn't no PhD anywhere. It was simply Christian. And he turned on the uh closed caption on his TV and he taught himself how to read it. That was his idea and that's the way he learned how to read-
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> See and that's -
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Talk and communicate.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> And that's the exact same way why I think Chris is a genius. Because he taught himself that. And like that is so impressive. Like uh I'm actually really stunned by that actually when you were telling me that earlier. Like that's amazing like - like his life goals must be like pretty impressive though too right? Like pretty interesting?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well he was- he was. I had him on a Commodore 64 which was the first little simple 64 bit computer y'know?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Way back when I had him on a Commodore 64 and he was programming that before he could talk.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh nice.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well he understood it better than I did. [laughs]
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> [laughs]
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> He knows a lot more now about computers than I do. I've lost it all. Just let it go and don't even play with it anymore. I'm not even online anymore.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh. So- so what does he do online? Like on the computers and stuff. Like does he make his own video games, does he like write?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well he's a genius on video games.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Because he has a photographic memory. Like for example there was one game called Mario World. Where they had this many many many levels of uh- up at the top there was King Koosha or somebody that you had to defeat. It was actually you got up through about 600 steps of the Mario's World game that you got to this guy and you defeated the king. King Koopa or something.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Okay.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well I uh [laugh] I never got past level 3. At the bottom of Yoshi's Island. That's the 3rd level up now in the game out of about 1000 levels or something. I never got past level 3.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh nice.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Christian- he could remember all those sequences. He knew what was going to happen in the game before they- as they were about to happen. He could beat them that way. Then he was up there and beat the King Koopa in about 3 days.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Hm. And is Chris like- is your son Chris- is he a Sonic the Hedgehog fan?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Is he what?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> A Sonic the Hedgehog fan. Cause you were telling me about Sonichu.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Yeah.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Okay.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Yeah Sonichu is a cross between Sonic and Pikachu.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Okay.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> And that's his own creationable character.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Does he have a copyright over it?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Have a what?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Does he have a copyright on it?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> He does. As a matter of fact. It's been upheld in the courts of England even.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh no that's pretty cool. Pretty cool actually. Oh okay.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> He's a neat guy.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh yeah he sounds like a really neat guy uh Bob and I'd really like to talk to him some day. But [laugh]
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> It's just too bad that the world's so afraid of autistic children.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah it is. It is. Uh yeah it is 'cause I was uh- I was- I. Ugh, sorry I'm actually kind of stumbling over my words. Like- 'cause like he had his own website I believe, right? Your son? And he like-
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> He had several of them. Designed them for years.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> He's far beyond me on the computer [laughs]
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh yeah [laughs]
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> In fact he's given up on the computer. He's backed off most of the time.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh that's terrible. Does he-
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> They give him such a hard time.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh yeah. That's- it's pretty bad y'know.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> I think so [laughs] I think they should just leave him alone.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> I agree with you, Bob. I agree with you like. Y'know if I were in the Ruckersville area I would totally be Chris' friend.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> He's a nice guy but nobody likes nice guys. You got to be a bastard for somebody to like you, I think.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah. I agree.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> It's too bad that that's the way the world is.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah it is. It is. I was reading some of your son's comic books actually and uh- like some of the Sonichu issues. It talked about a sweetheart named Megan. I don't know if that's a current girlfriend he has or not.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> No that was one back in 199- back in the year 2000. She was just a little- little- what I would call a lowlife in the gutter bitch.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Really?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> [laugh] Yeah. See but Christian didn't see her that way. But that's basically what she was.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> What happened?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> There's really a person named Megan.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh is there? Oh okay.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> And uh like she- he was a. They had a Pokémon group. Y'know Pokémon?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yes I do.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> You've heard of Pokémon?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yes I have.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well they had a Pokémon group at the uh- local toy store down town.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Okay.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> And Christian was one of the leaders of the Pokémon group. Christian used Pokémon in and out and was one of their leaders. And but he was so good at it and everything that people started hating him 'cause you're good at it, right?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Right.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> They don't like it when you excel at things. And that was one of the problems where it all started with them giving him a hard time down there because he was so successful at Pokémon. And he liked Megan. And nothing could ever be said wrong about Megan. I knew what Megan was. But he didn't know what Megan was. You can never tell with- love is blind.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Mhm.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Love is- old saying that I can guarantee is true. Love is blind.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yes.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> And he was in love with Megan and nothing Megan could do was wrong, right? Even if she got a gun and put it to his head and shot him she still wouldn't have been wrong. It's just unfortunate that it works that way.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> So-
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well I guess he carried the torch for her. In a way I guess his little Rosechu character he's got has essence of Charlie Brown's little red headed girl. [laughs]
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah. [laughs] So like how did it end?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> They're still down town but Christian got thrown out of the place.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh really?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> So he was just. He's just uh- they keep- because he was handicapped it caused problems.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh okay.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> And most normal people do not like handicapped people. Even though Christian doesn't look handicapped. Christian still has one of the normal characteristics of autism which is socializing. He's slow to socialize and doesn't really know how to socialise much. But uh he- that's one of their real problems. Now there's all kinds of levels of autism. Okay?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Okay.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> There's autism with kids that are never going to do anything- little babbling idiots. That's all it is. They're just a vegetable. There's that level of autism. It's unfortunate and I feel really sorry for those kids. There are other kids who can do a little bit and can help themselves. Then there are other ones that you think they're just normal kids 'cept some things they can't tolerate and they just blow their stack over something. They have little breaking points that you don't- that are not obvious. And there are others that grow up and can be fantastic columnists. He has two degrees in Computer Automated Graphics. And you know what that is?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yes I do.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> He's got one in architecture and one in engineering. But he can't get a job because he has this label on him called autism and the people that would hire him are afraid of what he might do 'cause they don't know. They've never seen him do it but they don't know what he might do. You see what I'm saying?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh yeah I'm totally following you.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> People are afraid of the unknown. Well there he is a talented cartoonist with all kinds of possibilities, uh- perfect memory. Photographic memory. Two CAD and all the computer work in Flash yet nobody wants to touch him because they're afraid of what they don't know that he might do.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> That that's-
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> They're afraid to take a step.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah. That's true y'know 'cause. Because like everybody's afraid of what they don't know and from what you're telling me about Chris- Chris seems like a really outstanding guy. He took two characters. Two characters from two different genres. Created his own character. Copyrighted it. Had his own comic book seri- has his own comic book series and people are still afraid of him and like that upsets me.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> He's got fanclubs all over the world.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah. Like-
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> For Sonichu.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh man.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> But there are a few people terrorizing him and uh- keep calling him and giving him a hard time and emulating him and telling him how bad he is and everything. And it's these few rotten apples that really spoil his life for him. Make him think he's a failure but he's really not.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Geez. Oh.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> That's the [laugh] and the psychiatrists don't help you any either.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> No no.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> They just come in kind of like emphasise, get you when you're down.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> And kick you when you're up. [laughs]
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah. [laughs] That's true. So like-
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> That's why I was telling you if you know anybody or come across anybody. Be it friends or relatives or anybody that has children that are autistic or ADT the uh slow learners. Anything like that y'know. Tell them that the best effective way for those kids to help them develop is to have their parents turn on the closed captions all the time. 'Cause that works. I know it works. I've seen it work.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah I totally believe you Bob.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Those kids will help themselves. And no matter how much special education they get that'll do more for them than any special education they can get.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> I agree Bob.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well you can help the world if you just keep keeping your eyes out you hear anything about that. Tell them go home and turn on your closed captions and leave it on.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh I will.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> And the kids can see it.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> I will Bob.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> And you'll be surprised how much you'll do for kids all over the place.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> [laughs] I'll spread the word.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> It's the simple things that always work.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh yeah. Oh it's true, it's true. The simple things are always the things that work the best and it's true. It is so true. Uh I- I have a question, Bob. Uh it's a- I'm just wondering like- y'know. Uh- (sigh) what's going to happen to Chris after you and Barbara pass away?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> I don't have any idea.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> No?
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> He can function pretty well on his own. I'm not sure he can make a living. But maybe the system will step up to its bar and take him in. Who knows? And then if we weren't there they'd have to appoint themselves as his guardians or whatever. And when they did he'd be their responsibility and not ours. But right now he's our responsibility. Y'see?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> If they behave irresponsibly then they have safehouses and things. I know it. They have systems set up so they can get handicapped children jobs. Or handicapped people jobs. [unintelligible distortion] certain industries, certain people in town take on these people on the basis of- and knowing they're handicapped. And then working with them a little bit. But you see I don't know that. But I bucked the odds. They wanted to put him in an institution and lock him away all his life when he was little. And I went the other way and I got him an education. And I got him almost out of it- he's- he's what you call high functioning autistic. He's spreading out down town now. He's not here.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Hm.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> So he's taking care of himself. He drives, he does whatever he wants.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> But uh he could be a productive citizen. And uh- he thinks just like I do. I- I- I think- I'm a free thinker. And I'm always willing to try and look for a way to do something and I suppose we do it one way now but it's not the best way to do it. And he thinks the same way.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Like if you can't get up the mountain one way you take another trail, right?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh yeah, totally.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Most people don't feel like that. They don't even think about that. They just give up and [laugh] stop. And that's the end of it.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> [laughs] Oh-
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> But just I don't know. I get a- I get a kick out of a lot of these professors and everything in college 'cause I was doing things and I was doing things for them while I was an engineer working for GE that they never thought of.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah exactly.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> And the only reason they didn't think of it was because they were kind of blind. I tried to explain it to my wife one time. I think I've always had the knack of looking at a forest and seeing the trees. Rather than looking at a forest and seeing just a green blur. And I think that makes a difference. Wonder if that makes any sense or not.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh it does. It does, Bob.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> 'Cause if you don't look at things with an open mind like 'hey is there a better way to do this?' I mean just because we put our right leg into our pants first this morning, would it be better f we put our left leg in our pants this morning first?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> [laughs]
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> Well maybe it would. Nobody tries it, right?
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Oh yeah. Yeah.
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> There's all kinds of. There's [laughs] it's just amazing what you can find out if you alter one little thing.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> Yeah just-
| |
| <br><font color="#00AF33">'''Bob:'''</font> You might come up with something that's what was boring would be completely not boring.
| |
| <br><font color="#52443c">'''Craig:'''</font> So true. So true. Like. It's like engineering has opened my eyes up to a whole new way of thinking I've never actually thought before.
