Third person fun

Mullinator was really bored, so Mully decided to start a thread devoted to the joys of talking in the 3rd person. Mully figures if pro athletes can do it in interviews, than common folks like Mully can do it as well. So come on in and build up a thoroughly pointless thread started by Mully.

Michi thinks Mully must be really bored…

VB agrees that Mully must be really bored.
VB would also like to tell Michi that he likes her sigline, as his wife is an RN, and has similar quirks.

Cranky talks like this all the time, since Cranky has an infant son and would appreciate it if once, JUST ONCE, the kid could say Mama instead of Dada. So Cranky sneaks “mama” into all her sentences.

Conversations in the third person while the first person is present are just plain sili.

Monster agrees, but Monster is also bored enough to go along talking in the third person. It’s rather enjoyable, in a demented sort of way. Monster sometimes does this IRL, which freaks out Monster’s friends.

Pluto thinks this thread talk funny. Pluto no like. Pluto go now.

Michi thanks VB about the sig line compliment. Michi has a long list of them, so keep your eyes open!

boli’s favorite episode of “Seinfeld” is The Jimmy, where he talks in the third person throughout the show. “Jimmy likes Elaine!”

Gunslinger had a GF once that talked in 3rd person. It was really confusing on the phone, with a friend of hers on an extension.

You think this thread is kind of bizzarre; but then you realize, “Hey! Now, if this were written in the second person, it would actually be kind of neat!” And with a smile upon your face, you proceed to add your own message, written in the style that only you can do.

R-Dog just enjoyed a lovely salad, except for all those olives. And chick peas! R-Dog wonders why they would put chick peas in a salad. R-Dog does not like chick peas, but he does enjoy a good hummus. R-Dog is a complicated man.

Demo thinks this whole thread is a steaming pile of crap and bashes Mully over the head with a folding chair. Actually, Demo doesn’t really care, he just wanted to come and play but, as usual, he had nothing interesting to say. Demo thinks violence is always funny though so…

Mully shakes off the chair shot and realize that Demo just wants some attention. So, Mully thanks him for the little tap before opening up a devastating barrage of finger flicks on the top of Demo’s head. Mully smiles with glee at the idea of continuing to talk like this only to realize this might accidentally carry over the meeting he has later. Mully has issues.

No one here wants to know what Michi thought that last word was.

Michi needs to get her mind out of the gutter.

It is completely sili, and Sili would just like to add that Michi has unfished business on another thread. Sili would like Michi to finish her thoughts there…

Zut seems to recall that a famous WWII general (MacArthur, Zut believes, although maybe Patton?) talked about himself in the third person. Zut also recalls a statement that many great men, including Napoleon, regularly spoke in the third person. In fact, this is, supposedly, one sign of the personal drive that makes people great. Zut wonders if anyone else has heard the same.

vandal has never really done it, but he seems to enjoy it. vandal would like to talk like this more often now.

(^(oo)^) thinks her username is not suitable for this type of talking. (^(oo)^) tries it another way.

/me thinks this might be less visual.

Sua thinks Zut may be on to something. Sua also believes that talking in the third person is a symptom of some form of disassociation, perhaps multiple personality disorder. (Sua does not wish to start a debate about whether MPD exists).

Sua particularly likes to talk/write in the third person on this MB, as it causes gender confusion amongst the readers. :wink:

Sua has one word of warning - ignore anything that bastard Sponte writes. He lies constantly.
