NOTE: You might want to check back on a regular basis for updates since this story is just getting more entertaining. Updates will be added at the bottom. While I still have no intention of returning to blogging on any sort of regular basis, a recent blog post of Ottawa's most prominent fetus fetishist Suzanne Fortin can't go unspanked, not only for its jaw-dropping intellectual lunacy and murderous overtones, but its hypocrisy and downright dishonesty. And while most of the commenters there seem to be giving Suzanne the drubbing she deserves, I think they're missing a couple points that …

Back here, Rev. Paperboy asks:What sort of fun and games are going to ensue (no pun intended) when the proper rock is lifted and Patsy scuttles out into the daylight?I am not a lawyer and I would prefer not to speculate so I'll recap and let others with the appropriate legal beagle expertise weigh in. What follows are the simple facts.On, November 23, 2010, defendant and U of Alberta student Patrick Ross, having weirdly chosen to not defend himself against a properly-served Statement of Claim, was found guilty in an Ontario court not merely of defamation, but of "clearly malicious" …

If you've followed the six-part series, The Saga of Patrick Ross (A study in Pathological Douchebagitude), then it's time for you to show your appreciation for all that pants-peeing entertainment value by helping me, my lawyers and children and small animals everywhere to locate and spank Mr. Ross to the extent that the legal system will allow:So here's what we know about Patrick Ross. First, this would be what we in the biz jovially refer to as "The Twatster" or "Twatsy" for short:(I'm guessing the fetching creature draped all over him would be his date, which should be a warning to you …

Part 1.Part 2.Part 3.Part 4.Part 5.At this point, I think it's time to make one big push and wrap this up with a huge, ugly, Patrick Ross-flavoured bow, at which point you'll be getting your homework assignment. And you knew that was coming, so don't look surprised.I suspect a number of readers are wondering, why the hell has this been taking so long? After all, the inordinately brief summary of the judgment from back in November of 2010 seems pretty clear on what Patrick Ross is required to do, and how quickly he's required to do it:And here's where the novel property of a default judgment …

While some people are apparently tugging on their thongs to get to the Twatsilicious denouement of this epic saga of dumbassitude, I will tell this story in my own time, in my own way, in my own clothes. Live with it, kids. And ... onward.From back in Part 4 of the Twatsy Chronicles, you might remember the jaw-dropping, magical reappearance of Patrick, the Wonder Doofus, who -- after having been utterly incognito for over three months after my whopping $85,000 judgment against him for malicious defamation -- burst back onto the scene with a sad story of victimhood and, well, idiocy. At this …

To truly appreciate what you're about to read here, you need to refresh from Part 3, at which point you need to totally, absolutely and intuitively understand the following MASSIVELY incompatible observations.On the one hand, there is absolutely no doubt that fugitive defendant Patrick Ross knew, since November 23 of 2010, that he was the victim of a whopping big ($85,000 plus interest) default judgment for malicious defamation of your humble scribe, from which he spent the next three months dodging and weaving, despite being well aware we were hunting for him. Got that? Make sure you have …

To recap from here and here, we are reminded of the crippling, self-destructive idiocy of one Patrick Ross who:made up defamatory crap about mebragged about making up defamatory crap about me explicitly to ruin my reputationpublished that defamatory crap for month after monthlaughed uproariously when served with a Notice of Libelboasted about how much he looked forward to the court caseignored both the original Statement of Claim, and the subsequent charitable extension we gave him to file a statement of defensenever filed a defense after all, which handed to me an $85,000 judgment for …

When last we saw Patrick Ross, the Wonder Mullet and U of A frat boi, his months-long campaign of virulent smear and defamation had finally culminated in his pulling out of his pock-marked, doughy ass an accusation that I was a pedophile. It was at that point that patience was no longer an option, whereupon I hired a lawyer and, in early February of 2010, I served Patrick Ross with the standard Notice of Libel. And herein lies the first of many lessons to mouthy, preening, self-absorbed, retarded wingnuts everywhere.I did not, as wingnuts are wont to do, threaten to sue. I did not howl …

CC here. Since I’ve tweeted mysteriously about this a number of times, I thought it was finally time to write the awesome — nay, definitive — history of my relationship with one Patrick Ross. And I use the word “relationship” in its most unpleasant and pejorative sense. And since this is going to take a while, you might as well make yourself comfortable; we’re going to be here for a bit.First, let’s get rid of the suspense — pop over here to set the stage. That part of this sordid epic has been public for a while; the fact that mullet-headed frat boi Patrick Ross maliciously …

For reasons stemming from a fundamental difference in philosophy, the cripplingly hilarious "Saga of Patrick Ross" is going to be republished here one part at a time, with that fundamental difference in philosophy as follows.Having put up with Patrick Ross' relentless defamation over the course of almost three years, while I'm going to leave the comments sections open for the entire series of posts, I absolutely will not tolerate trolls, idiots and sock puppets dropping by for the purpose of retrying my defamation lawsuit against him. Given that that case was tried and ruled overwhelmingly in …

In deference to all those fine folks who invested their time this weekend hunting one Patrick Ross, it's only fair that I announce that, as of an hour ago, he contacted my attorney and agreed to provide an address for physical service of last fall's judgment. Beyond that, I am not going to get into any further details so you're just going to have to live with the fact that we did what we set out to do, and I thank you all.ADDENDUM AND RETRACTION: I do have to apologize for one accusation I made that turns out to be unfounded.

*Sigh*. Once again, I would prefer to let my attorney and others handle this, but this is becoming a significant issue so I'm going to outsource this as well, and hope this eventually brings closure to this annoyance.To recap, I would dearly like to serve apparent frat boy Patrick "Twatsy" Ross of Edmonton with a default judgment against him, but he is being delightfully coy about his physical location, on the one hand insisting that I and my attorney are well aware of what it is, but subsequently refusing to confirm it. So here's how all of you can help out.The address Ross has listed on a …

... no, no, I'm just funning, the title is a play on words as you'll see shortly. And as much as I well and truly wanted to stay above this particular fray, circumstances demand that I get my hands dirty, so here goes.Please help me locate one Patrick Ross of Edmonton (aka "Twatsy", aka "Twats", aka "Splatrick", aka "Mullet Boy").In case you have no idea what I'm talking about, let me introduce you. The unfortunate, towel-snapped victim in that story would be the aforementioned Patrick Ross, a braying, screeching U of Alberta frat boy bully and blowhard whose mouth finally got him into …

Apparently, we have a new right-wing talking point:Critics point out that Britain pegged its costs for hosting a one-day G20 meeting in London last year at $30-million – a relative pittance, but an amount some U.K. newspapers still decried as spendthrift.How to account for the Canada-U.K. discrepancy?
