Chronicles of Twatrick: Apparently a really funny guy.

Nothing new to report, other than that undischarged Patrick Ross is nicely supporting something I suggested a while back, and that is that Patrick is pushing the idea he's hilariously funny by tagging his own Twitter posts with "laugh until you cry" emojis because he weirdly seems to believe he is some kind of hysterically amusing to the point where he needs to point that out to his 17 regular readers.

Seriously, it's a little creepy to post laughing emojis on your own tweets, as if people need some assistance to figure out that you're trying to be funny:

I've been on social media for many years, and I don't recall ever having to help out my adoring fans by reminding them that what I just posted was supposed to be amusing.

That's kind of ... sad.

Chronicles of Twatrick: Apropos of nothing, really ...

No real developments to report, other than that undischarged bankrupt and self-described "Alpha Male" Patrick Ross continues his quest to eat at every unhealthy greasy spoon in northern Alberta. Here's Patrick in the wind-swept barrens of Peace River, wolfing down 13,000 calories in a single meal before heading out for another day of swamping in a northern Alberta winter:

It's only moderately amusing to realize that, as someone coming up on his 44th birthday, Patrick has now spent fully half of his adult life found liable for malicious defamation, personally bankrupt and owing me a buttload of cash (an amount that is increasing by several hundred dollars every single month).

For someone who advertises himself as the smartest d00d on the Intertoobz, Patrick could use a moment or two of self-reflection. And maybe a lawyer.

I'm just trying to be helpful.

Chronicles of Twatrick: Happy (belated) interestversary.

Another month, another increase of several hundred dollars in what undischarged bankrupt and homeless financial fugitive Patrick Ross owes me pursuant to defaming me maliciously back in 2010, then refusing to even file a defence when I sued him:

There's not a whole lot to report -- Patrick is still on the run, the highlight of his life on social media being posting pictures of the latest greaseburger he's discovered somewhere between Grande Prairie and whatever desolate backwoods work site he's inhabiting as a "swamper" (a job that is definitely as disgusting as its name suggests).

I am still in the dark as to the status of Casa Ross or its disposition according to the will of the late and absolutely-not-lamented Kenneth Ross; as I've mentioned previously, the rumour is that the entire estate is being disputed but again, that is a rumour that is wholly unsubstantiated thus far. However, that rumour is at least consistent with the fact that that property has not gone on the market, which seems odd.

Anyway, I hear that Patrick is once again talking smack about me over at his Twitter account, and while I normally enjoy refuting his nonsense, I realized recently that there is precious little point in that since, according to his Twitter stats, Patrick gets almost no traffic so almost no one reads his attacks so what's the point in replying to something nobody ever reads?

If there any further developments, I'll let you know. In the meantime, if you happen to run across any evidence of where Patrick is hanging out these days, drop me a note.

Buy Canadian: Canadian "bourbons."

What technically is "bourbon?" I'll let Wikipedia do the work here, one of the defining characteristics being that bourbon uses a base of mostly corn for its manufacture. What this means is that sometimes it's difficult to recognize a Canadian product as being equivalent to bourbon, so some of these entries are here simply because they are a "corn whisky" or "corn mash whisky" distilled in Canada. So you'll need to experiment for yourself.

Leave suggestions for more entries in the comments, and follow me on Bluesky, https://bsky.app/profile/canadiancynic.bsky.social.

Chronicles of Twatrick: You can smell the fear.

Once again, one of my confidential informants tells me that undischarged bankrupt and human garburator Patrick Ross is bragging about how I am "losing" a defamation lawsuit to him. As my loyal and long-suffering readers will know, Patrick has made absolutely no effort to move this idiotic and meritless action along for two years now, choosing instead to spend his time bragging about it on social media (all of which is being collected for when I decide to have this stupidity dismissed as abandoned and Patrick sanctioned with costs).

In any event, Patrick knows full well where I can be served with subsequent filings, but we all know that this silliness is going nowhere because in order to proceed, Patrick knows he will have to provide a proper and accurate address for legal service, and there is no way he is going to do that, so as much as Patrick wants to blar-har-har about "suing" me, everyone knows he's pretty much screwed in terms of trying to move this along. Mostly, Patrick knows how badly it would go for him to actually end up in a courtroom where I will make sure everyone who's been looking for him will be waiting.

Yes, I will at some point file to have his action dismissed for a variety of reasons, but in the meantime, given that there is nothing Patrick can do in terms of proceeding with it, I am in no rush, being content to let Patrick keep yammering on about it and burying himself even deeper in debt to me with each passing month.

Someday, when Patrick simply runs out of road, there will be a reckoning. And it will be ugly.

P.S. It's worth pointing out the irony in that Patrick constantly denigrates people based on their number of social media followers, bragging about how he has some 2,300 followers on Twitter and then insults anyone who has fewer.

The irony is that it's taken since 2008 (16 years!) for Patrick to amass those 2,300 followers, while your humble scribe (that's me), after joining Bluesky just a few short months ago and starting from scratch, is already closing in on 2,000 followers.

I just thought I'd point that out.

Chronicles of Twatrick: The derangement continues ...

Over at his Twitter account, undischarged bankrupt and man-child on the run Patrick Ross accuses me of obsessively examining all of his literary works for years because I used the acronym "AC" to refer to the recent anonymous commenter at this blog, since Patrick apparently dedicated a 2019 short story to "AC" and thinks I chose that acronym to be deliberately provocative:

Uh, I chose "AC" because it's short for "Anonymous Commenter."

It's embarrassing that I had to explain that.

P.S. After all these years, Patrick still does not understand what constitutes defamation. That's just sad.

P.P.S. Self-proclaimed literary giant Patrick Ross used the phrase "poured over" to describe studying something intently and with great concentration. Let that level of illiteracy sink in.

AND MORE: Apparently, this is the first part of the short story which I am accused of *poring* over and stealing the dedication to some mysterious "AC" just so I can provoke Patrick into, well, I have no idea. It is replete with such literary gems as, "She wasn't actually the only woman here. There were many other women here, ..."

That's pretty much where I stopped reading.

Chronicles of Twatrick: The meltdown continues apace ...

One of my confidential informants tells me that, over at his Twitter "Outlaw Tory" account, undischarged bankrupt and homeless financial fugitive Patrick Ross is blar-har-har'ing it up over the last few posts at this blog, implying yet again that he is somehow besting me in this head-to-head competition as to who owns a better house and a nicer car and is not personally bankrupt, etc, etc. Patrick seems particularly incensed over the claims of anonymous commenter "AC" as to his problematic legal status in terms of not having a valid driver's license or valid car insurance and so on, so let's clarify a few things.

First, none of AC's claims have been accompanied by verification; however, having said that, I will say that AC's claims are at least consistent with the facts before me. Let me explain.

AC claims that the estate of the late, intellectually-damaged Ken Ross is currently being disputed. While I have no evidence of that, it does square with the puzzling fact that, after all this time, Casa Ross has not gone on the market as far as I know. One possibility is that the house was simply handed over to one of the children but, if that's true, it certainly wasn't to Patrick, who clearly spends all of his time on the road. So either the house has gone to one of the other ditchbilly siblings or -- as AC suggested -- everything is still tied up in some sort of squabbling between those drooling inbreds.

Following on that, if Patrick is not living there and is effectively residing in Alberta, then it does make sense that he should have transferred over his D/L and car registration to Alberta; otherwise, it seems only logical that it's not technically valid right now. Again, no proof, but well-reasoned speculation.

I did start to read Patrick's bloviating but got bored almost immediately and gave up; the only value all of that screeching has is to eventually put it all in the front of the court to demonstrate how Patrick -- when he argues that he just couldn't find the time to proceed with his idiotic, meritless lawsuit against me -- always seems to have the time to tweet hours worth of dumbass stupid. Which is one of the successful arguments I made when I filed to dismiss his 2014 bankruptcy appeal -- that he always had the time to bloviate on social media but never to move his appeal along. Even the judge made that finding in his ruling against Patrick, kicking Patrick's long-moldering appeal to the curb.

In any event, it seems that Patrick (now in his mid-40s) has learned nothing since I sued him 15 years ago. While I have been doing fine in terms of car and home and job and relationship, Patrick has no apparent home, definitely no romantic relationship, a crappy job that requires outdoor work in northern Alberta in the winter, and a vehicle that may not even be legally registered or insured.

So, sure, he's winning. Whatever.
