Perhaps Pat is Onstad's evil alter-ego. Or maybe just mine. He says all the things I could only dream of having the cohones to announce. Sometimes I think Onstad just takes his own observations to that borderline level and then gives them to Pat for a fast ride to the outrageous quadrant.
Basically, all the characters are representations of Onstad's three major personality traits on a tri-axis represenation. using trinary representation we come up with (values here are 0,1,2 for none, some, and lots respectively):
for axes niceness, obnoxiousness, destructiveness
blister: 0,0,0 # barely a presence
charley: 0,2,1 # obnoxious, but only mildly harmful
cornelius: 2,0,0 # a good guy with poise and courtesy
molly: 0,1,0 # bit of a bitch, whines a lot but doesn't break shit
pat: 0,2,0 # total ass, but won't break the law, just is obnoxious
pete: 1,0,2 # nice enough, but will kill you
phillipe: 2,0,1 # very nice, but often causes mild hijinks on the order of spilling things
ray: 1,1,1 # a little obnoxious and troublesome but well meaning, kind of the litmus we vary against
roast beef: 1,0,0 # a nice guy, not perfect, but too chickenshit to cause trouble with his pent up anger
teodor: 1,0,1 # a nice guy, but a little more adventuresome (i.e. will cavort with porn stars)
todd: 0,2,2 # totally unlikeable, obnoxious and troublesome
--------------------
total: 8,8,8
THE TOTAL IS ALWAYS EIGHT IN EACH COLUMN
If you added a 'success' column it too would add to eight.
and no, Molly isn't nice, she's a bitch.
