| '''Robert Franklin Chandler Jr.'''<ref>[[Blanca E-mails#Chris likes Blanca|Email to Blanca]]</ref> (04 [[Wikipedia:1927#September|September 1927]]<ref>http://www.harveypowers.com/wynn/wynn/d155.html#P155</ref>–soon) is [[Chris|Chris's]] father.
| |
| | |
| Despite being a racist and homophobic redneck, '''Bob''' became a firm favorite with [[trolls]] due to Chris's intense dislike of him and Bob's infamous cameo when [[Bob Walks In|he walked into Chris fapping]]. His nickname, the "Internet Lumberjack", comes from this incident.
| |
| | |
| Despite being loathed and estranged from his other children and step-child as well, Bob is still viewed as a better parent than his wife [[Barbara]], due to him being somewhat concerned with Chris's current status as a [[virgin with rage]], and occasionally tries to guilt him into being more considerate by bringing up the fact that he's devoted 27 years to raising a selfish manchild. Of course, Chris is unfazed by these attempts.
| |
| | |
| To date, Bob has conversed with three trolls. Thanks to his tendency to yap on, more information has become known.
| |
| | |
| ==Biography==
| |
| [[Image:GrandWizardBob.jpg|thumb|Bob is a pretty "old fashioned" type of guy.]] | |
| | |
| ===Service and education===
| |
| | |
| Bob was born in Texas and raised in Alabama.<ref name="About">[[Emily Date Conversation Transcript#About Bob (7:18 - 16:45)]]</ref>
| |
| | |
| Bob was drafted after World War II and placed in the Signal Corps. There, he learned how to install valve systems, switchboards, and telephones. When he got out in 1947, he couldn't get a job and so went to college on the G.I. Bill.<ref name="About" />
| |
| | |
| Since he figured he'd get "swallowed up" at a big college, Bob picked a small college to study Pre-Engineering for two years. He was also in a band and learned a lot about music. He then moved onto Auburn University, a big college, to earn his engineering degree.<ref name="About" /> As an engineer, he never learned to spell properly.<ref>[[Emily Date Conversation Transcript#The Date Begins (4:47 - 7:17)]]</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Career===
| |
| | |
| Bob worked for Western Electric for 40 years. Using skills learned in the army, he built for the company their first automatic [something] (it's unclear what Bob says here). General Electric heard about it and offered him a job in upstate New York. Since New York is too cold for Bob, he moved away after three years, working in North Carolina for some time.<ref name="About" /> He worked with both Goodrich and Goodyear.<ref name="PSN 37" />
| |
| | |
| With General Electric, Bob was responsible for at least seven patents. [[Barbara]] claimed, in an e-mail to [[Miyamoto]], that because of Bob's influence in the computer world, the NES "might not have arrived so soon" (despite video game technology actually being pioneered by Ralph Baer).<ref name="Barbara" />
| |
| | |
| As examples of Bob's accom-PLISH-ments, as Chris would say, he automated a steel mill for rolling steel for cars, a paper mill for papers into the form of Kleenex, warehousing, railroads, and tanker ships. He designed scooters, die casting machines, and machines for producing plastic products.<ref name="About" /> A fact that both Chris and Barbara have bragged about is that Bob designed controls for plastic water [container] molding machines...<ref name="About" /><ref name="Barbara">[[Miyamoto Saga#Barbara]]</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===World consciousness===
| |
| [[Image:0012-BobbyReading.jpg|thumb|Bob learning how to cut that Internet down.]] | |
| | |
| ...on the other hand, Bob himself is proud of his "natural inclination for logic," although he is "inundated" by all his designs and whether he did good for the world.<ref name="About" />
| |
| | |
| Speaking of the world, Bob has been interested in it since he was 10, and has become very world conscious as a believer in the United Nations. He began by collecting foreign stamps in the 1930s. He has collected 15,000–20,000 LPs from various genres and cultures.<ref name="PSN 37" /> Bob traveled the world in his day for business and [[china|pleasure]].
| |
| | |
| In a potentially damaging moment on 18 [[February 2009]], Bob doubted the existence of [[Molvanîa]], [[Julie]]'s fictional country of origin.<ref>[[BlueSpike PSN Chat 3.5]]</ref> However, he continued talking under the assumption that Molvanîa was under Russian control.<ref name="PSN 37">[[BlueSpike PSN Chat 3.7]]</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Health and late life===
| |
| [[Image:LumberjackTapestry.JPG|thumb|Robert had English ancestry.]] | |
| | |
| Bob has had two triple bypasses and four heart attacks. He wears a pacemaker. He attributes his long life to all the [[Cherokee]] in him. His uncles and grandfather all lived to 90-100.<ref name="PSN 37" />
| |
| | |
| Bob lives on social security and General Electric pension.<ref name="Raising">[[Emily Date Conversation Transcript#Raising Chris-Chan (16:46 - 00:00)]]</ref> He hasn't really had people to chat with, so he sits around, listens to music,<ref name="PSN 37" /> and takes care of the garden inside the greenhouse. With a 1970s stereo system set up in the greenhouse, he goes to "swing with the music" on his swing there.<ref name="Raising" />
| |
| | |
| A major question in the troll community is what will happen if and when Bob dies before Barbara.
| |
| | |
| ==Relationships==
| |
| | |
| ===Previous family===
| |
| | |
| Bob is out of contact<ref name="Cole2">[[:Image:Cole 07-03-06-2.PNG|6 March 2007 email, page 2]]</ref> with his son [[David Alan Chandler]] and daughter [[Carol Suzanne Chandler]], who both lead successful careers. For example, Chris did not know he had a niece named [[Savannah Chandler|Savannah]] until she was 8 years old.<ref>[[CWC's Diary#January 2004]]</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Barbara===
| |
| [[Image:0063-BobAndBarbaraNewLife.jpg|thumb|With [[barbara Chandler|Barb]]]] | |
| | |
| To continue with the music theme, Bob and Barbara met in a bar on a karaoke night. Barbara was there with friends and Bob was singing.<ref name="Mumble 3.5">[[Mumble 3.5]]</ref> According to Chris, Barbara did the [[How to Talk to Girls|pursuing]]: "She chased him down the hall." This is probably why he figures that he could get away with being passive in terms of courtship. In contrast, [[Cole|Cole's]] friend Chuck, who worked at the bar, has a vivid memory of them being drunk retards.<ref name="Cole2" /> They got married in 1980.<ref name="Mumble 3.5" />
| |
| | |
| According to Chris, Barbara has not had sex with [[Bob]] for at least two decades. They have been sleeping in separate rooms for the past few years.<ref>[[IRC (27 December 2008)]]</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Cole===
| |
| | |
| Bob married Barbara when her son [[Cole]] was 17, around the time Cole left to lead his own life.
| |
| | |
| Cole feels that Bob's bitterness worked to separate his relationship with his mother. Cole will celebrate<ref name="Cole2">[[:Image:Cole 07-03-06-2.PNG|6 March 2007 email, page 2]]</ref> "when that fuck Bob finally drops."<ref>[[:Image:Cole 07-07-24-3.PNG|Email from Cole to Chris]]</ref> Cole said that he and Bob share a mutual hatred,<ref name="Cole2" /> though we have no evidence yet that Bob hates Cole. In the least, it is certain that Bob knows Cole doesn't like him.<ref name="Raising">[[Emily Date Conversation Transcript#Raising Chris-Chan (16:46 - 00:00)]]</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Chris===
| |
| [[Image:0106-ChristianWDad.jpg|thumb|"You tell them that you fell down some stairs or else I'm cutting down your Nintendo."]] | |
| | |
| Bob wishes Chris was more interested in the world. He tried to teach Chris, but he thinks (and rightly so) that Chris doesn't understand countries and continents beyond what he's seen on TV, and only can associate with the places he's been in Virginia.<ref name="PSN 37" />
| |
| | |
| Bob's joke that [[Barack Obama]] would paint the White House black as soon as he became president influenced Chris to draw it in ''[[Sonichu 8]]''.
| |

| |
| | |
| ==Audio and video appearances==
| |
| | |
| In every appearance, Bob has proved himself to be better at charming Chris's [[sweetheart]]s than Chris himself.
| |
| | |
| * 14 [[February 2009]]: [[Bob Walks In]] to Chris [[mass debating]].
| |
| * 18 [[February 2009]]: In [[BlueSpike PSN Chat 3.5]] and [[BlueSpike PSN Chat 3.7|3.7]], Bob rambles to [[Julie]].
| |
| * 15 [[March 2009]]: Bob talked to [[Robert Simmons V]] at [[Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church|church]] while Chris went to shit himself.
| |
| * [[March 2009]]: Bob chaperoned Chris on his date with [[Emily]].
| |
| * 27 [[March 2009]]: Bob gets intruded by Chris in the [[Tour of Christian's House]], but is not visible.
| |
| * 27 [[August 2009]]: [[THAT IS MY HOUSE|Bob enters Chris's room]] and scolds him for making the [[Tour of Christian's House|video]], (correctly) fearing that if someone saw the house as it was, they would be evicted (Uncut version only). This is a momentous occasion that shows some self-awareness in the fact that the Chandlers do, in fact, realize the filth and squalor they live in is a health hazard. This video alone sets off an influx of emails and calls to the Greene County Health Department, in the hopes of confirming Bob's fear of eviction.
