Cool, am I supposed to know who that is?

It's a well known literary reference. One would imagine that someone as accomplished as yourself would be aware of it. Curious.

Fundamentally the various details that you have claimed of your life do not stack up.

Are you suggesting that an Atlas Forum poster is full of sh[Inks]?  Seems unlikely tbh

Speaking as someone who knows a lot about literature, Walter Mitty is not a well-known reference at all.

There was a Ben Stiller movie only a few years ago (that had basically nothing to do with the original stories, but still).  Did even a preview or a poster for it completely pass you by?

Literally everyone who posts on this forum should have some conceptualization of the term "Walter Mitty" but like half of you are 13 year olds who joined in 2015 so....

I've never heard of it either. I thought the poster was making a strange Romney reference or something.

Walter Mitty is obscure? I read that in eight grade.

Why are we asking people who know a lot about literature whether Walter Mitty is a well-known reference?  Shouldn't you be asking us ignoramuses?

I mean, Walter Mitty is a pretty famous reference, even in the form of a decontextualised name to describe an archetype (like describing a miser as a Scrooge or an infantile adult as Peter Pan or somebody with a volatile personality as Jekyll and Hyde).

As someone who talks to him very regularly, I can say that he is a disgusting human being. Now, all of his posts over here are very trollish, but he's still not the greatest guy. Also, his backstory doesn't line up at all and makes little sense.

IDK, maybe it's because he's a racist troll?

Seeing as Santander hasn't taken up the challenge, we must conclude that he's a coward and a poltroon.

He's probably not moved by an internet bully trying too hard.

The best thing about Al is he doesn't even have to try to own likes like Santander.
