    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!

      I like Craig Ferguson because he reminds me of my father meaning you never know what he's going to say. He'd ask the same question to his neighbor, the President, or the Queen of England. He has no filter. He just says whatever pops in his head depending on his mood. Craig is also good at reading people & matching their tempo/body language. Plus, his Scotland stories always crack me up. :) Craig is comfortable in his own skin & what U see is what U get.

      Jimmy Fallon also did a rap song to a Brian William's newscast, but why is this technique only applied to rap & hip hop songs as opposed to rock, blues, reggae, country, or heavy metal? It was clever though. See...
