Ray's first attempt at a pub was not as awesome has his second.

Asshole Pat has entered the building! (hushed applause)

We've seen him before, but, yeah, he's blooming right now.

Now playing: Denis Leary - Asshole

You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado Convertable. HOT PINK. With whale-skin hubcaps and all-leather cowhide interior with two big brown baby seal eyes for headlights YEAH! And I'm going to drive around in that baby doing 115 miles per hour, sucking down quarter-pound cheeseburgers from McDonald's in those old styrofoam non-biodegradable containers. And when I'm done sucking down those greaseball burgers I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag and throw the styrofoam containers right out the side and there ain't a goddamn thing anybody can do about it. You know why? Because we have the bombs, that's why. Two words for you: nuclear fucking weapons OKAY? Russia, Germany, Romania, they can have all the democracy they want. They can take a big old democracy cakewalk right down through the middle of Tiennamen Square and it won't make a lick of difference because we have the bombs, OKAY?

John Wayne's not dead, he's frozen. And when I find out the cure for cancer I'm gonna thaw out the duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off, you know why? Well, have you ever taken a cold shower? Well multiply that 15 billion times, that's how pissed of the Duke's gonna be!

And I'm gonna take the Duke, and John Cassavetes, and Lee Marvin, and a case of whiskey and DRIVE DOWN TO TEXAS!

You know you really are an asshole

How apropos: your Bill Hicks avatar callin' that joke thief Leary an asshole.

Cancer took the wrong guy.

Ha! I have this album playing right now. I don't care if Leary is a joke stealing fuck, he makes me smile.

Pat talks just like Mr T in this strip. I guess that makes Ray Murdock and Teodor is the Face. Or possibly Hannibal.

Interesting, interesting. :reaches for silent alarm:

Alt text: "You can't open no brew pub, you JACKASS"

When pat was this kind of asshole, I liked him.

Going by the alt text, is the "you JACKASS" thing a reference to Billy Madison?

doubtful

(especially because the bit was from Happy Gilmore, and because I somehow can't see Onstad invoking Adam Sandler movies)

A chubby for accuracy in film.

I can also see the brew pub being a post-layoff idea Onstad had, and the jackass comment being someone's knee-jerk response.

And God bless that person for not distracting him from Achewood.

My first impression of Pat in this comic is that of Oscar from the show "Corner Gas". Sounds JUST like what he'd say.

Pat has still not forgiven him for the hat gibes. He never will.

Half-pound ahi burger? Sold!

Possibly a dig at GB?

I used to know people that were bigger dicks than Pat. I'm glad I don't anymore. Ray, you can serve me beer and ahi burgers anytime!

Cats like Tuna.
