Every time I hear the word prospects (and similar words such as leads) I imagine Alec Baldwin staring down at me like I'm the biggest piece of shit in the world. Unlike Chris, I don't associate that word with imminent success; I associate that word with lifelines and final chances. That speech in Glengarry Glen Ross filled me with existential terror when I was a pre-teen. There's nothing quite like feeling those metaphorical jaws of brutal obsolescence for the first time and I think it's something that everyone should experience before they become an adult.New drinking game: Every time you hear "Prosspets" in your head, take a shot of Jager.
It's more just one of the things he stews on, like his usual "sonic sez"-esque lessons he posts once in awhile. Think his hatred for the word "naive", just on a lower scale.That came out of nowhere. Did Catie at some point ask him about what his prospects were and it just now caught up to him?
Oh, he's particularly worried about his future. He's stated explicitly a few times that he needs to find a Barb-replacement because his "mother is Not going to be around forever".I was wondering if Chris was ever plagued by thoughts of his future and the realization that his launchpad to success or even adequacy was flimsy and getting flimsier all of the time.
