Not impossible but unlikely. Leslie is off-kilter for sure but she has a few enduring traits that weigh against lolcow status: She doesn’t take herself too seriously (has referred to herself as fat and/or an old lady multiple times) and can go offline for stretches of time (though not recently, to be fair). Subtle but important, Leslie is very crafty. She plays games within games—she’s smart. Most lolcows that I’m aware of are at best slightly below average intelligence. Leslie is above average in the smarts department, maybe significantly above.
Seriously though I'm amazed at both Leslie continuing to poke the pig despite claiming she wants to be left alone, and Pat's ability to respond every single time. I suppose I can't expect anything less. Something about idiots dragging you down to their level, or wrestling pigs in mud?
My unasked for two cents on this is that, if I recall correctly, Pat wouldn’t leave her alone despite her protests, requests and independent evidence that she wasn’t involved in messing with him outside of laughing at some of the pests comments on his Twitter account.
Her son, who is a lawyer was semi involved in this too. She certainly told him what was going on.
So she now seems to just lean into it as it’s clear she can’t convince him otherwise so just winds up the fat shit.
Regarding her lolcow status, I concur with the point that she is too smart.
I am pretty certain that if she got wise that she was becoming a widely shared joke, she would cease these antics and let things die down.
Right now, anyone who isn’t aware of Patrick and his sagas is not really going to care or see what is funny about her.
So unless it gets to the stage of being funny out of Patrick context then she isn’t going to be a lolcow.
