I too have azn peeps and Pat's attitude is not appreciated.

Strips about anally retentive forum moderators: awesome

Forums with a Pat in charge are a disturbingly common thing.

Four edits, two in the same minute
There is so much about this strip that is good

And you know that one of those edits was just to capitalise those words.

the edits are really what make the strip, for me.

What's sad is this srtip more than anything aligns me with Pat

for instance I would be editing that typo right now

man Pat is born to be a regular contributor to wikipedia

The wikipedia promise: "People who edit online encyclopedias in their spare time generally agree that . . ."

my first chubby.

heh

Pat is really coming into his own in this strip. Maybe he was always a pretty chill guy, but after the hat incident and trying to run a small business killed his kindness.

So I guess if you are Subway admin, your status is "Jared"

It was about this time that he lost the dialect similarities with Ray and Beef. No more "runnin'" and "yellin'" and all that. Once his asshole got clenched to pinhole status I bet he started not only keeping those extra letters but adding letters and grammatical layers just so his sentences would be that much better. Not to mention correct.

Unless Rod is doing all the catching, I'd wager Pat's pinhole status has been revoked.

I'm amazed Pat almost has a thousand posts. How much can one talk about the quality of toasted subs?

That's part of the beauty. Believe it or not, it happens.. a LOT.

Have you ever seen the Mr. Clean forum? Oh god.

BOO TO THAT

Why bother?

Not only almost 1000 posts, but he registered only a month earlier.

At least 700 of those posts are snippy e-mails reminding people about the extremely restrictive rules of the forum.

Huh. "Snippy e-mails" has become a collocation for me. Fuck work.

Haha Onstad nailed dicky people on message boards with this. CAPITALIZING words for emphasis is just perfect. I also really love Vlad's tone when he bitches pat out. hella taco bell stylezzzz

white computer vs black computer, RIDICULOUS claim

Pat drafts out his forum replies in Vim before pasting them into his browser.

Chubby because Pat is EXACTLY the kind of asshole who would use Vim.

Thanks for the chubby. I've been thinking of learning some Vim lately. The yin to my emacs yang.

I wasn't aware until recently that Pat's use of Unix command line apps for things was a canonically established trait.

Ya'll some nerds.

Rowboat I would like to offer the following rebuttal to your RIDICULOUS claims:

Me and stuart are having a perfectly reasonable conversation about archaic text editors which any right thinking members of society would IMMEDIATELY realise are superior to the bloated, resource nightmare that modern gui editors are.

I'm not going to place you on my ignore list right now though it would be COMPLETELY within my rights to do so.

[Post rewritten twice because I accidentally pressed Ctrl-Z and paused emacs and forgot the command to restart it]

I'm just sayin' ....

character encodings hella stale...
all gotta payz dolla$$ for shortcuts...
riazm why you put doo in the text editor?

Oh what. Pat is a total Emacs dude, all having eight hundred Ctrl-Shift-Meta-Alt-Q type things set up to automatically block people, except he has written them wrong because he doesn't really know Lisp despite constantly telling Beef how superior it is.

As a former sandwich artist, I can say to with certainty that we indeed put doo in the meatballs.

Well, as long as it was done it at strictly regulated temperatures...

Yes, isn't it nice how Ray never actually rebuts that particular claim? Doo is okay as long as the temperature dial is set to MAXIMUM SAFETY.

I think you mean Pat.

Why yes, yes I do. Or do I? (Yeah I pretty much do.)

I like to imagine T-rex saying this.

As a former sandwich, I can't really talk. Even when I was a current sandwich, I couldn't talk.

Everyone contains a couple thousand former sandwiches.

Pat has Jared Status. That is serious.

Look at Pat in that first panel: guy's so angry he is ready to strangle someone through the computer.

Hella Taco Bell stylezz

I like how Pat's defense to the meatball statement does not actually contradict Vlad's accusation.

Also, Pat doesn't hate all Asians, just Asian barbers.

it's 5:40 in the morning and i'm waking all my roommates up because i cannot stop giggling about this. the giggling will not cease.

Vlad, you scoundrel !

I was smiling all along as i read downwards, but I burst out laughing first when I saw the excess of edit lines

Read the Capitalized font on Pat's first note: EVERYONE'S OUTRAGEOUS! Clearly he does hate his customers

man that's kind of a stretch

They sayy sll toppings are free: so, could I get like an entire sandwich for free if I asked it to be put on my first sandwich? Like, A sub^2? Then, the Hot-Pocket Hot Pocket.

They say all... D is for Lysdexia!

This strip really shows how pointless it is to argue with people on the internet.

I disagree.

And so, Gladi8orrex was born.

Vlad is a fucking genius. I swear he could teach at a school for those deficient in the asshole reflex. But he would do it with panache.
