    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!

    <p>Favorite comedians: George Carlin, Bill Maher, & Conan Obrien.<br><br>Favorite TV shows: Law & Order: SVU, Countdown With Keith Olberrman, & NFL Total Access.<br><br>Favorite Hard Rock Bands: Tesla, Black Stone Cherry, Gwen Stefani, David Coverdale, Scorpions, Megadeth, & Van Halen.<br><br>Favorite Country Bands: Mary Chapin Carpenter, Travis Tritt, Johnny Cash, & Brooks & Dunn.<br><br>Favorite Movies: Braveheart, Stranger Than Fiction, Sunset Bouelvard, Shawshank Redemption, & What About Bob?<br><br>Favorite Junk Food: Vanilla Coke & Reeses Fast Break Candy Bars.<br><br>Favorite Film Stars: Cate Blanchett, Jennifer Connely, Maggie Gyllenhaal, & Bruce Willis.<br><br>Favorite Past Time: Playing Percussion, Watching Colts Football, & Chilling With My Little Nephews.</p><p> </p><p>Since a number of Colts Forum members frequently ask me why I routinely address myself as SW1, or in the 3rd person, here is my reasoning for doing so: </p><p> </p><p> </p><div> There is a character on a TV show called Becker about a sarcastic Dr. named John Becker & he frequents this place known as Reggie's Diner. 1 of the regulars at Reggie's Diner in NY City is named Bob Whiley. 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>

    Okay, this is a pet peeve of mine especially around Christmas time. Buy $75 dollars worth of our merchandise & get a "free" $100 gift card...The word "free" means you are under no obligation to buy anything right? When will companies understand this factual reality? Sigh...

      Death is VERY expensive....in so many ways 18288. Your father was a wise man. Just like m dad saying the best way to double your money: "Fold your dollar bill....and put it in your pocket." :)

      oooh those "come back" coupons and cards really annoy me. thanks for spending $100.00 today, here's $20 that you can only use between starting tomorrow for 48 hours, what's that you just spent your budget and won't be able to use this coupon, oh well, but aren't we nice for offering it to you...dangling that carrot, you could always sign up for a charge card and buy it tomorrow! Yes and I was born yesterday!
