Love the Denny Crane stuff!!!
I've wondered if the show had him in mind when they wrote that character from the start, or they started capitalizing on all that is Shatner as the show evolved. What a wild cast.

Terpgirl,
Denny Crane....finally William Shatner gets that he is the joke, and he's in on it. As far as talking in the third person, when referring to oneself as "blogger" is a full-blown case of delusions of grandeur or, merely, delusions of adequacy.

Scoop...since I'm going to annoy people, I might as well really do it.
I don't get the posts that make a huge production out of who the blogger is reading..double digits or not. Is it me, or do so many of these things sound like the porn-oriented spam e-mail things you get. How many are you see this person's post and say: "Hmm, so this is where I threw my money this month."
Maybe it's me, but even if I thought someone *cared *to know who I was reading, I don't know if I'd want people to have that information. It's right up there with the crazy guy who told me he was "googling" me. Well, stop following me. If I had wanted you to come with me, I would have emptied out the front seat of my car and made room for you.
Seriously, do you want to know what Blogger X is reading this month? I didn't even join Oprah's book club because I'm just not a follower by nature.
Are people reading these things just to see if their names will show up? That's really, really sad. Let's see, I have 10 minutes to read. Do I check out the state of world via the New York Times or the Washington Post? Wait, Blogger X has just released his monthly list of people he reads. I NEED to know that. I mean an ocean separates me from Europe, so why should I care? This list, on the other hand, may directly affect me.
Again, delusions of grandeur.

That was great. I heard Yoda's voice saying that. I collect all things Yoda. Okay, other people started collecting stuff for me years ago, but the stuff lives with me. Yoda is pretty brilliant...a bit of a geezer...but brilliant...so this is meant as a compliment May.

Luck...I don't need no stinkin' luck. I'm a street weary journalist. (Maybe that's why crazy makes sense to me.) I got death threats and lawsuit threats with my first big article. I've had crazy (and I mean crazy) stalkers. Oh, yeah, and I had to deal with crazy relative for a couple of decades. I've left him with my ex now. So, weird posts/comments won't shake me---but thanks for the heads up. It doesn't hurt to know I should look over my shoulder a bit. (I just won't talk to the imaginary person behind me, or someone will write a post about me.)

David...heehee
Now, see, THAT'S refreshing. I have no beef with people who say they have crazy moments or crazy lives. THAT makes sense to me. The relative I spoke of is so serious when he talks about himself. Like I said, scary. It's like you know William Shatner does spoofs on himself. Even he doesn't think he's Captain Kirk. Then there's someone like David Hasselhoff. Does he know?

I often refer to myself in 3rd person in my posts
I also know that I may be, in fact, delusional! LOL

Good observation T-girl30
this place is a regular pyscho ward, everyday we have an act played out from "One Flew Over the cuckoos Nest", some are on meds, some wander the alleys and hallways unattended, and some are on a day pass from the mental health unit. And when I made a comment like that about two weeks ago, one of the resident whack jobs took exception, so to her I say, screw off and get a sense of humor
Oh yeah welcome and good luck here, you'll need it.
