    Inspired by Pride Fighter's thread about the disappearing graffiti, I'm curious: how many current posters actually remember Pat Paterson? Has he really gone the way of Hilper's, The Science Café and most recently The Pit? Or does he live on in our hearts and minds?

    Pat Paterson's Philosophy of philosophy, is "**** philosophy"

    He was a phenomenon of the noughties. Perhpas he is best left in the recesses of our minds !

    From here
    Pat Patterson lived in, I believe, Belgrove, while I was in first year (2002/03). He studied engineering and his actual first name shall remain anonymous. I met him, but didn't know him. Well the details of most of the rest of this are a bit fuzzy but he did something bad with one of the Roebuck lad's girlfriends and in retaliation the boys started writing mean, but inventive comments like the ones you mentioned. Presumably at some stage other people, who didn't know the man himself or the purpose behind the whole thing, started writing their own little comments and Pat Patterson became a kind of social phenemenon. It was *definitely* in UCD before Trinity.

    I heard Pat Patterson fathered every fake tan clad idiotchild in UCD with his defective sperm. Defective of course due to years of volunteer work rebuilding the Chernobyl shield

    Pat Paterson will never die, we will always remember. It is true that after Pat Paterson visited the Virgin Islands, they just became known as the islands.

    Surely Pat Paterson needs to be passed on through the UCD generations, so that some day, when they get around to re-building the Arts block (so around 2078), they'll rename it the "Pat Paterson Building".

    Why are we even talking about this, shouldn't the ones here with experience of Pat (the man who taught Chuck Norris his back spinning round-house kick) not be reintroducing the legends of Pat to the toilets of UCD.

    I heard of Pat Patterson from my schoolboy days in 2nd year just from mucking about UCD with nothing better to do when skipping school.

    He was all over the place then, we even brought it into our school aswell.

    Disappointed to see his popularity is waning, but I am now in 3rd year college and still glad to see his name around the place.

    Pat Patterson

    - Ancient Philosophy (eastern)

    Am I correct?

    I remember...

    Tao of Pooh.

    What is the big deal here - have I missed something? Or would I have had to do a major in Philosophy to get the true Pat Patterson experience (which would apparently be impossible now as I assume from the thread that he's retired)
