Chubby for you. People in the computer lab are now looking at me strangely.
All I remember as a child was being bitten by a duck. :(

Wait, did you just ask me if I was an asshole?
It wasn't a birthday party though, it was at the lake.
I'm sure most vegans must have some sort of traumatic reason for choosing such a lifestyle however.

I refused to go to the zoo when I was a kid, as it occurred to me that being in a small enclosure for life and being stared and pointed at by infants of other species all making horrible screeching noises would be as close to hell as one is likely to find... and I really didn't want to be part of the problem.

Real child-haters wouldn't have let your sticky-fingered, crumb-encrusted, stubby-legged child-self anywhere NEAR their laps.

the kindly mother whose home he later stole after forcing her into a nursing home, a change which brought about her death
i'm not saying i hold a grudge i'm just laying the facts on the line

my wife would agree that "no system of adequiately shielding the right-thinking population from the lunacy and inconvenience of children yet exists".
and here i'm assuming 'right-thinking' to mean 'correctly-thinking' in pat's vernacular (and not 'republican-thinking').

Man, was Pat always such a dick? Am I right? I guess people can change but it sucks when they change outside the boundaries of acceptable behavior like an old school friend who wants to stab you every day, for example

Philippe's thought bubbles convey perfectly the rollercoaster of emotion you feel as a child when listening to one side of a phone conversation regarding something you're extremely excited about, and hearing your chance of happiness trickle away.
Who am I kidding, this still happens to me now.

Pat is an asshole.

"Probationary Ichthyologist" sounds like a score ranking in the original Toejam & Earl.
pat is a weiner. :)
The correct spelling is "Wiener"...
Although "ei" is an acceptable ethnic variant.
Pat is Viennese?
Mildly obscure Simpsons reference. Nice.
Oh my god. What a fantastic game.
That dentist...with his prancing and high-pitched laughing...
Because Pat is such a FUCKING DICK, it's not 'Junior Ichthyologist' or 'Apprentice Ichthyologist' or 'Acolyte Ichthyologist' or 'Student Ichthyologist'.
It's 'probationary', implying the possibility of exclusion and failure from the get-go.
It takes a special talent to make me hate a fictional character this much.
