'''Pat Is Dead''' is the belief by a small group of [[Allthingsweezer]] boardies who jokingly believe that [[Patrick Wilson]] is, in fact, dead. It is a spoof of the legendary "Paul Is Dead" phenomenon of the late sixties/early seventies, in which a rumor quickly spread that Paul McCartney of [[The Beatles]] was deceased, and that this fact was being covered up. Supposedly, at the time, there was evidence that Paul was dead, due to clues in song lyrics and cover art, as well as other indicators.

The idea that Pat is dead began when boardie Headcheese noticed that he was the only one on the cover of ''[[The Red Album]]'' not looking at the camera. He therefore concluded that Pat was dead. Each "character" on ''Red'''s cover is believed to be a certain figure in the death of Pat. This is a major nod to "Paul Is Dead", in which the four Beatles were depicted on the cover of ''Abbey Road'' as wearing certain clothing. Brian is the funeral organ player, Pat is dead, Rivers is the reverend conducting and Scott is the gravedigger. | The idea that Pat is dead began when boardie Headcheese noticed that he was the only one on the cover of ''[[The Red Album]]'' not looking at the camera.
