    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. I just watched the debut of NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" & I was not very impressed at all...They gave Conan O'Brien the axe for this guy? Are you serious? LOL!

      To be fair to Jimmy, he is getting better at doing his monologue & he was pretty funny playing charades on TV. I can't lie. I did laugh hysterically when actress Emma Thompson made a joke that Jimmy's 1st week of shows was a complete disaster. The English have such a flair for the dramatic. It was priceless! LOL! Yes Jimmy has a niche audience which is not me. So be it. That's okay. We can't all prefer the same style of entertainment right?

      ThrowingBBS: Conan caters to the nerd audience, the ones who get tongue tied around beautiful woman & are addicted to Star Wars & video games. A demographic he routinely slams on average too. I love that actually. Plus, Conan is good at improvisation & making his long, slender body do crazy things like attempt to ride tricycles etc. I like misfits who know they are misfits & just roll with it. That's why Conan rocks to me & why he's my favorite comedian around.
