His self importance is highly recognized by himself.

Speaking in the third person is creepy.

I just always assumed this was Tabs?:


YouTube - Most Interesting Man In The World


It is Tab's humility that most impresses me.

Sorry folks, unfortunately Tabs made a run for the "other forum" when he broke loose from PARF. Damn, we told his handlers to keep those restraining straps tight! Once we have him sedated and back to PARF we can resume our normal programming.

Thank you for your patience.

Can you handle the truth, or are you just another one of those people who drift though life oblivious to what is going on around you. Other than bodily functions do you pay attention to anything?

Anyway before I get to carried away...the irony of the matter is that what makes TABS so great is that he doesn't think he is great at all.

As just a matter of fact TABS is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being you will ever know in your life.

So TABS is great because he doesn't think he is great, but he knows he's great because he doesn't think he's great, so he thinks he's great, so if his greatness depends upon his not thinking he's great, then he is not great, which makes him great.

Great. What kind of word is that? How come it is pronounced "grate" but treat is not pronounced "trate?"

I once tried wearing purple tights with a purple cape...But Mother took one look at me and said.."Look at the big goof, who does he think he is Mick Jagger?"

I have no illusions in that regard, although I suppose that fixating on my lack of greatness could also be narcissistic.

[QUOTE=tabs;5070243]It certainly isn't because I say I am Great. That is so much rubbish as to almost be boring. It is mostly a joke that is on me.

It does seem that a number of people have gotten caught up in the title of this Thread. Which was used as a foil that was dispelled in the first three sentences of this Thread. Lets see now if that pointed hat that says "dunce" on it fits, some of you should really consider putting it on...because reading critically is not in your repertoire of skill sets.

I suppose so...however I think that the determinant in the matter is if you start wearing purple tights with a purple cape and start prancing around like Mick Jagger.

I certainily can tell you from experience that it may work well for Mick, but when your 6"5" and weigh 300 lbs it just tends to make one look foolish...

I only did that once, and that was because your mother demanded it.
