    Asking people sarcastic questions like this one:
    Do you know why adults always ask little kids what do you wanna be when they grow up? They are looking for ideas about possible career choices themselves. HA! HA!

Now, Mr. Whiley always refers to himself in the 3rd person. Bob hates this. Bob loves that sort of thing. Also, another forum member, Blood ON The Tracks, informed me that a character on "Seinfeld" named "Jimmy" used this comedic device first.</div><div> </div><div>Why do I do this? Simple really. I always thought that speaking in the 3rd person is a great comical device to act as though a person is observing life's events from a distance above it all like a near death experience almost as if you are watching someone else live vicariously through you. In a nutshell, I am paying homage to Bob & Jimmy because I have a fondness for brilliant comedians that make you think & are kind of like the protest singers of my generation George Carlin, Bill Maher etc. etc.</div>

  1. Okay, this is a pet peeve of mine. How come when you are watching a TV Program they break for a commercial, come back on the air, just to say they will be right back? What is the point of this exactly? It's both funny & incredibly irritating at the same time...The older I get, the more foolish TV seems to get. Strange IMO...

      Yes Brent, that is extremely frustrating especially when you miss watching down & distance as a football fan. It's like watching a murder mystery on TV. They break to a commercial, come back, & then the end credits roll down the screen. Wait...What just happened man?! Huh? Who killed the billionaire in the study with crowbar?

      "I was just thinking the same thing while watching a show the other day! It's pretty annoying to me." I know exactly what you mean ColtsSouljah...Sigh...It's like when your download speed on your computer slows down & says "buffering"...You are stuck in limbo & there's nothing you can do but wait, and wait, and wait...and wait.
