Red String of Fate
The Red String of Fate was a plot Chris came up with in 2004 to attract a boyfriend-free girl. He probably got it from Excel Saga or some other shitty animu series or even the popular webcomic series, Red String, as the red string is allegedly an important metaphor in Asian courting rituals, similar to the concept of having a soulmate (emphasis on metaphor). Chris's subtle expression of courtship failed to be appreciated as he took too many artistic liberties with the concept.
According to Lucas and Mimms, Chris would attach a paper heart to a red string and throw it at women, then pull the string like he was "reeling" them in. The small red heart had text around the outside reading "PICK ME UP AND BRING ME BACK TO MY OWNER," an ingenious strategy to reel in da ladies.
On 5 August 2004, a mall security guard took Chris's red string off him. It's the last we've ever heard of the idea.

There is a certain irony, given how much Chris whines about the trolls, that this method of fishing is known as trolling.
