I dunno about the rest of you, but people who speak about themselves in the 3rd person make me a little uneasy. :P

Perhaps that new nitrous system has a leak or something. :smash:

BKM used to do the third person referral all the time - still kind of miss that. He called it the "bracketed action convention". :lol:

The "/me such-and-such" convention is still pretty popular, though - still trying to get a handle on it personally because it always feels a little strange...kind of out of body...

/me contemplates self sitting at computer typing this line and hitting 'submit' :crazy: :lol:

Cho thinks Brad is just envious that he hasn't enough self-worth to refer to himself in the third person in a semi-snooty, high brow manner, such as Cho is able to do. Cho is well aware of her great and significant worth.

Mwa ha ha.

I can't help but feel somewhat diminished by all this ego-maniacal 3rd person action going on around me. :(

Kvetch looks down upon the lowly Brad and sneers 8)
"I'm the family radical. The rest are terribly stuffy. Aside from Aunt - she's just odd."

Cho holds her lavender scented linen hanky to her nose and sniffs audibly in disgust at the likes of Brad.
