I worked at HOOLIGANS, local Milwaukee establishment that author Patrick S. Tomlinson calls his watering hole. Here are some 100% fact-checked and verified observations I have made about his behavior during the 9+ months of forced-interaction with him.

  • He often gives off a slight milky scent, with undertones of the spices used in doritos brand chips, but it is usually masked well by some sort of Axe type high schooler 'first foray into cologne' type deal.

  • He usually wears a torso garment that is comically too small and features a big prominent graphic of some sort of cartoon character. I initially surmised that he was unaware of how revealing of his shape this clothing was, but my questions were answered when during the winter he never wears a coat in the bitter cold, coming in wearing only a black mock turtleneck made of very, very thin material. He seems to get off on the fact that his curves are being noticed.

  • During his typical chit-chat with anyone nearby who makes eye contact, he constantly engages in banal sarcasm to where he sometimes won't even verbally finish a thought because he knows his point was going nowhere and his only argument to stand on was trying to be ironic and cute. He just grins and takes another sip of his drink.

  • Usually orders the most annoying contrived stuff that isn't even on the menu anymore. He thinks it's social and quirky like "Oh this is my Cheers, they all remember me and know I've got a particular taste for this special order." No asshole, they hate you for making their job more annoying and then they hate you more on top of it for thinking it's endearing.

  • He has made at least 2 bartenders quit because he harasses the females trying to lure them into conversation which they all complain about behind his back, the staff is always making faces at each other and even sometimes other patrons whenever he gets into one of his chatty moods. But he seems completely blissfully ignorant to this. What few inside jokes that he seems to force through when engaging with staff, you can tell they're rolling their eyes inside, and sometimes you'll even hear staff among themselves mocking them, repeating the stupid stuff he says and chuckling to each other, talking about how distinctly terrible he is as a regular who they're not allowed to be mean to.

  • The owner knows who he is, but I'm not aware of if he knows the owner. The owner loves him because he buys the most expensive garbage that they were going to throw away anyway and he calls it good service. He's what the boss calls an "easy mark," not sure what that meant but he would say it quite often to ease the staff from talking shit about him too often. "Leave him alone, he's an easy mark. He'll believe anything, even that we like him." And then they would all laugh to one another about his wardrobe.

If anybody has any questions that I can answer with 100% peer-reviewed honesty, AMA!

What % of his face is fat in your estimation

On the occasion that he may grow facial hair, it is more noticeable how prominently his jowls blend into his neck seamlessly. There is no unmistakable chin, no hint of bone. It's a mystifying and confusing sight.

Did he ever bring up child rape? Because if he did...

Let's just say his running commentary of what's playing on the TV screens got to be a little worse than usual whenever someone was on screen who clearly had not reached sexuality maturity.

Is it true that he was caught eating shit out of the toilet using nacho chips?

💯% verified

I refuse to confirm or deny the rumors of said event due to an agreement with my former employer. Sorry!

I always fancied working in a upscale bar , sleeping with different gals and receiving generous tips for being a charming fella . Is that how it goes ? Also , have you noticed young female bar staff always have some cunty attitude ?

Entirely true; but to be candid with you, most of my charm is simply a well-practiced impersonation of The Opester. When women mingle with me at my bar, they are also mingling with the life's work of pot talk philosopher Gregg Hughes. I'm drowning in under the table caesh.

Does he tip?

Besides the scale at 350 that is.

Yes and no. Do you count disparaging handwritten notes on the receipt (often containing racial epithets) as a "Tip?" If so, he is a generous patron.

Delete this reply. We need to make it seem real, Pats too much of a pussy to even write something disparaging about someone physically near him, let alone a racial epithet.

The "he's an easy mark, leave em alone" bit was pure gold however.

How often did he drive home drunk on his Faggio scooter?

Nightly, and he'd loudly brag about not wearing a helmet, but only when women were within earshot.

Take a pic of him next time you see him looking all plum and slobbish

I can't tell what is reality anymore and what is fiction.

We need some Dateline hidden cams in this bar.

Has he ever successfully seduced someone (male, female, animal, corpse) in the bar ?
Has he publicly bemoaned the redditards ?
Has he tried to sell / give away his books ?

What shape is the bathroom in after he leaves it?
