    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. My favorite espionage author died today. Bummer. SW1 is really sad. "The Hunt For Red October" was the 1st book of his I ever read. CIA Agent Jack Ryan was a fantastic character BTW. All Intelligence Agencies should lower their flags half mast today IMHO.

      Thanks MAC & CM51. Yes, he died far too soon. I thought he had 1 last book in the pipeline, but I could be wrong about that too. Shoot, I'm really gonna miss reading new novels from him now or film adaptions like "The Sum Of All Fears." A very compelling flick. Tom was such a detailed writer who made you feel like a spy. God, I loved that. I am really gonna miss you Mr. Clancy. Sigh...
