Patrick was never gonna win Lolcow of the year. LotY rewards flashy stupid cowdom, especially around voting time, whereas Pat provides steady, solid year round milking. What Pat needs is a LotY equivalent of the Lifetime Achievement awards, he'd be a lock for one of those.
Thats one of the things I like the best about Pat, ironically his work ethic. Other cows have flashes of content then nothing for months, Pat is a milk machine, he consistently shoots himself in the dick in hilarious and retarded ways, day after day, month after month, Pat wakes up and fires up Xitter to make an asshole of himself, and he keeps on being an asshole until he passes out drunk covered in pepperoni flakes.
His dedication is impressive.
He truly took DLTIW to heart, and Pat is the idiot, he spends all his waking hours making sure he eats L's like he eats Black children.
He's so interactive too. Pat responds to every single Xeet, everyone gets a Patpost, even if it takes him months, eventually he'll respond.
Even if its just to tell you to Enjoy Prison.
Pat is dedicated to his "fans" in a way that would do him credit if he was an actual writer.
If Pat spent the time he does oinking at stalkers on writing books he would make Stephen King look like George Martin.
