2008 Psychology article explains Piggo's flaunting of his nonexistent wealth

Some interesting points:

We suggest that feeling powerless is often an aversive state that will lead consumers to attempt to attenuate or alter this state. Furthermore, prior theorizing suggests that status is one source of power, and thus feeling powerless, relative to feeling powerful (or baseline conditions), will increase consumers' desire to acquire products associated with status as measured by their willingness to pay. Further, we argue that this increased attraction to high-status products stems from a specific inclination to reestablish power rather than a general mood repair or mood maintenance motive.

I think our Pig feels powerless knowing that he will never be able to relinquish our 1st Amendment right to mock him even if he spends $100,000 of other people's money trying to do so, and goes $37,000 into debt himself.

Pigger rich.

even if he spends $100,000 of other people's money

The idea that he won't have to pay the SFWA back $100k bothers me way more than it should. I get that it was a total of like $137k that worked out in our favour, but still.

Shitbox car, gay motocycle (I dunno bikes, but if Piggy owns it it's gay and sucks), ridiculous wish.com modded pistol and faggot Goldeneye rifle, dilapidated ghetto frathouse haunted by the spirits of a thousand date-rapes, frumptacular second wife leaking collard green farts from every greasy pore.

faggot Goldeneye rifle

Let's be fair, dual wielding that gun is OP and wicked sick.

Indeed. It's not a faggot rifle in Goldeneye, but that's the only reason why Fatty has one. You know he always picked Odd Job and probably spent more time looking at his opponent's screen than his own.
FUCK, screen-lookers make me rage even now.

We don’t know if that is true yet

It's hilarious to me that "screen-lookers" is a universal term millions of kids came up with independently.

I called him a screen-looker... BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE IS!
YOU CAN LOOK YOU CAN LOOK
THROW HIS ASS OUT, HE'S A LOOKER! HE'S A LOOKER!
Oh, this shocks you, it shocks you, YOU SEE WHAT'S BURIED BENEATH YOU MOTHERFUCKERS

No, child. The soldiers in Space Gate Space Gate 1 - a sci fi show I am an enormous fan of - carry the same deadly weapon as I do.

 

[Caverlock]

Isn't the entire purpose of that gun to shoot from inside vehicles?

Pat's leisure activities around Milwaukee lately: free walking tour of gardens, free city hall tour, free night market bike exhibition, free walking by the river, free RedBull Flugtag, blood drive that compensates with free theater tickets

very thrifty guy!

Fawk, I had entirely forgotten Seaquest 2: In Spaaaaaace. He never played multiplayer Goldeneye because nobody wanted to hang out with him. Probably didn't even have a Nintendo 64, the big fat phony.

What happened to his job checking Vax cards at the theater?

It just makes him all the more loathsome. He is so stupid and narcissistic that he'd gladly risk a professional relationship/support system (in what I assume to be his dream profession) to simultaneously settle a personal score and clear 3 mil in cash (assuming he was looking for $50k per 60 John Does) for his troubles.

So, they learned an expensive lesson, and he's got to be persona non grata with them.
