I wish I lived closer to Indianapolis (or really anywhere except where I do live really) because if I have to buy Fat's stupid book, it would be really fun to go have him sign it and maybe call him fat afterwards.

Because an obese unemployed loser who spends all his time fighting on twitter might enjoy the attention and victim bait, but his sole breadwinner wife who has to use her identity and email for work rather than just slapfighting might not find it as cute. Might make her question if ol' Fatrick really is dealing with this in a healthy manner.Why sign the missives with Niki’s name and not Pat’s?
He said he thought about killing himself when his first wife left. Of course, he didn't. He probably never even considered it. Just told other people he did. I agree it would be the same this time.One sentence, "I want a divorce". He'll threaten suicide, but narcissists almost never follow through.
He considered it a good thing to write in order to get sympathy from strangers. Ol' Technicality Pat.He said he thought about killing himself when his first wife left. Of course, he didn't. He probably never even considered it. Just told other people he did. I agree it would be the same this time.
oh fuck you've triggered my special interest. i would say that's a good comparison... while the common shorthand for a kafka narrator is "victim of impossible bureaucracy," really most of his characters respond stupidly to bad situations and thus make them worse. the issue however is that kafka characters ultimately have no agency over their situations, whereas fatrick is basically the architect and groundskeeper for the extremely silly existential prison he's confined himself to.I havent read any kafka, but i have been meaning to. From what little i do know about his stories, p@t seems like the best real life equivalent of a kafka character. Only difference might be that fatrick absolutely deserves the (sur)reality he has gotten himself into.
I don't know, I do kinda agree with Fat that if he cut off all contact with the rascals they would continously escalate until someone goes to prison, but thats mainly because he always reacts to the rapscallions buffoonery and has trained them like a 2 year old that if they throw a large enough tantrum he will give in eventually. So, id say hes a kafka character that designed his own personal hell, and now complains that his hell isnt to his own liking. Maybe hes just a gayer Sisyphus, one that we mustnt imagine happy because he's fat and has bitch tits.oh fuck you've triggered my special interest. i would say that's a good comparison... while the common shorthand for a kafka narrator is "victim of impossible bureaucracy," really most of his characters respond stupidly to bad situations and thus make them worse. the issue however is that kafka characters ultimately have no agency over their situations, whereas fatrick is basically the architect and groundskeeper for the extremely silly existential prison he's confined himself to.
idk, to me rick's life is more like someone stuck in a "Nathan for you" tv show episode where the whole underpinning of the situation is not only false but transparently absurd to everyone not directly involved.
another comparison might be the "Confederacy of Dunces" protagonist Ignatius Riley-- also notably fat -- except that while Ignatius is a buffoonish, pseudo-intellectual snob whose terrible attitude constantly gets him into crazy trouble, he's ultimately kind of lovable, which Fatrick isn't.
damn i'm struggling to think of a good comparison really... maybe a Philip K Dick character? The key is that Fatrick really causes all his own problems... it's a fascinating case
She is more or less enabling Rick's shitty behavior and if she's okay with him acting like such a cunt that hellfire gets rained down on her too, she has it coming as much as he does.If she left Fatrick, or if she actually got Fatrick to shut his mouth over threat of her leaving, it would all go away. If she stays with him, she's choosing to martyr herself to the same cause Fatrick has chosen.
Literally right before I read this I was thinking of and also rejecting Ignatius Reilly. Reilly is actually pretty smart, although nowhere as smart as he thinks he is. But you still feel like rooting for him even though he is a complete fool, whereas if Rick fell in an open manhole into a fire and died in it I wouldn't really give a shit other than being mildly bummed the lulz had come to an end.another comparison might be the "Confederacy of Dunces" protagonist Ignatius Riley-- also notably fat -- except that while Ignatius is a buffoonish, pseudo-intellectual snob whose terrible attitude constantly gets him into crazy trouble, he's ultimately kind of lovable, which Fatrick isn't.
I always used to think their hovel setup was a side-by-side setup, with both units having two floors. But judging by the recording and f@t's own twitter thread, its actually one unit on ground floor and one on the top floor....This shit's a nightmare, and Niki needs to wake up.
He's Ignatius J Reilly, 100%, down to using his middle initial for no apparant reason other than self-importance. I haven't read that book since before Norm/11, I need to revisit it with Pat in my head-casting.oh fuck you've triggered my special interest. i would say that's a good comparison... while the common shorthand for a kafka narrator is "victim of impossible bureaucracy," really most of his characters respond stupidly to bad situations and thus make them worse. the issue however is that kafka characters ultimately have no agency over their situations, whereas fatrick is basically the architect and groundskeeper for the extremely silly existential prison he's confined himself to.

judging by the thickheaded self-righteousness, black twitter is almost pat's equal. it's incredible watching them fail to communicate.
he fails to fit most characters because most fictional characters aren't as mentally ill as he is. which is what made the american psycho jokes so funny a few pages back imo.oh fuck you've triggered my special interest. i would say that's a good comparison... while the common shorthand for a kafka narrator is "victim of impossible bureaucracy," really most of his characters respond stupidly to bad situations and thus make them worse. the issue however is that kafka characters ultimately have no agency over their situations, whereas fatrick is basically the architect and groundskeeper for the extremely silly existential prison he's confined himself to.

Amazing. Two people desperately seeking attention and victim status trying to one-up each other.
Mostly, yeah. But some of them are just way smarter than him and are using him to generate some victim points.It’s hilarious and sad that Black Twitter is dumber than Fatrick. In a way, they’re the perfect nemesis for each other.
I like how even when Pat is actually the wronged party, he still comes across as such a complete asshole people end up as mad at him as if he'd actually sent the racist messages himself.It’s hilarious and sad that Black Twitter is dumber than Fatrick.
