Bo Jackson did it, but many probably didn’t realize he didn’t do it to be a dick, but because he stuttered pretty heavily on the word I, but no on Bo. ---

Leave everything to me…POWDERED TOAST MAAAAAAAAAAN! [QUOTE=pravnik] I don’t think they’re really illeists, they’re just famous for frequently introducing themselves. Bond saying “James Bond wants a vodka martini” would be illeism. [/QUOTE] Now I have this bizarre mental image of a cross between James Bond and Elmo. And I’m disappointed one of my favorite illeists isn’t on the Wikipedia list- Chester A. Arthur’s Head from _Futurama_. “Oh, Chester A. Arthur fall down!” ---
