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.

I'm trying to understand what point he thinks he's making.
a) The presentation WAS disgusting, which he doesn't dispute.
b) Restaurants DO pay attention to presentation - it's one of the first principles they teach in even community college hospitality and food service programs.
Given Patrick's appalling dietary standards, it's no surprise he chose to feature what looked like a warmed over bowl of puked up chicken-a-la-king scraped off the floor.
Putting aside the issue of Twatsy's low income, how could the #LloydminsterLoser purchase an airline ticket to YYZ without a credit card?
Also, we all know Twatsy is scared of another ass-kicking from Tyler, so it's unlikely that they are actually going to Toronto.
Patrick wouldn't be able to tell the difference between horse shit and chili. His pallet is as weak as his personality.
You have to remember Patrick's the type of guy who cups his own farts so he can giggle at how bad they are before everyone dies around him.
nobody said he was working with a full deck.
Points
1- His "low" income, even for a lowly swamper in Alberta, is probably a minimum of 80 grand a year and most likely over a 100 g, + $140-$150 LOA a day, TAX FREE. (Don't stick your nose up in the air over manual labour. Some of it pays damn fine wages.)
2- A secured credit card is easy to get. Even for a fuckhead like Patrick.
I'm not trying to start an argument here, but the record needs to be set straight.
Dude, swampers generally make $20-30/hour. Yes, manual labour can be lucrative in places like Grande Prairie, but an obese dumbass like Twatrick will always be at the bottom. Rent ain't cheap in Grande Prairie, plus Twatsy has gas/insurance expenses for his truck, and his extensive restaurant bills. $25/hour won't go very far for the Twatster.
I just popped over to Indeed and searched on listings for "Swamper" and "Grande Prairie" and the first listing showed an opening at Northstar Hydrovac, paying $25-28/hour, so ROD's estimate seems spot-on.
I'm willing to believe that such workers can work their way up to, say, supervisor or foreman or something like that, which would get more money, but does anyone think Patrick Ross has the temperament to be placed in such a position? No, I think Patrick's fate is to be the low man on the totem pole in perpetuity -- someone who can be trusted to hook up hoses and whatnot, but in no way will ever rise above that.
I hate to be that dickheads defender but..
These are not 9 to 5 office jobs
$30 × 12 hour days × 21 day shifts (21 and 7 minimum. Some might work 30 days straight with half a day off to stay within labour guidelines)
× 12 shifts a year = over 90 grand without adding overtime. If your job is classified as remote you may get camp but if there is no camp available you get LOA. Average $140 every day worked TAX FREE.
Not enough, you say?
Lots of hotels/motels rent weekly, cheap. (Done that) Those that can pair or triple up, rent a place, and bank most of their living allowance cash. Do the math. $140 × 21 days.
I would bet that, despite his attitude and ignorance, Ross has worked in the field long enough that he makes more than 30. The 28 must be entry level.
anyone notice he's coming to toronto in April? Robert, is there any way to serve him being this close to home?
I STILL can't get over the fact that he puts (Alpha Male) in his handle. I mean, the whole "Alpha Male" thing is cringey to start with, and based on crappy science, and generally just stupid. But more importantly here, to the extent that the concept can be used at all it's like being cool--if you have to say you are, then obviously you aren't. How can anyone be clueless enough to go around SAYING they're an alpha male?!
he's said he uses it as bait. He hasn't developed past 9th grade and it shows.
I have no problem with Patrick making a decent living since, at some point, there *will* be a reckoning and I can only hope he's stashed away some of that so it will be easy for me to take. Patrick seems to think he can run indefinitely, but being a perpetual bankrupt is always going to make things a wee bit harder. I doubt he'll ever be able to buy anything on credit, or own a house (that I can't take, that is).
I'm a patient man, and I'm fine with Patrick's debt to me increasing by several hundred dollars a month while he keeps running. As I've said on a number of occasions, one day those chickens will come home to roost in a very painful way for Patrick. And if he's managed to squirrel away some cash in the meantime, all the better.
There is a side note to my figures...
Meth.
Or crack.
Maybe both.
I'm not saying Ross is a user but it's how many of those guys keep going.
And I would think it's a financial drain.
I wouldn't be too patient, as the way he lives a heart attack may not be out of the question for him.
