Since Mandy and her friends have found so much joy and entertainment in "Speak About Yourself in the Third Person Thursdays", Mandy and her friends feel that there might be others out there who would also enjoy such peculiar revelry.

It has also been suggested that Mandy and her friends might even take over the world, one person at a time, with "Speak About Yourself in the Third Person Thursdays"

In case you would like to know exactly how "Speak About Yourself in the Third Person Thursdays" got started...

History of "Speak About Yourself in the Third Person Thursdays"

One Thursday, while at work, Mandy was carefully ignoring a conversation between Karen and Rebecca that was, in fact, pertaining to Mandy. Mandy heard her name repeatedly, and became slightly annoyed that Karen and Rebecca were speaking about Mandy loudly enough that ignoring them became insufferable. Finally, Mandy decided to interject the conversation while speaking about herself in the third person. Then Mandy announced that she was going to continue to speak about herself in the third person, thus ending the conversation with shared laughter.

When Mandy and Rebecca left work, Mandy continued to speak about herself in the third person, effectively annoying Rebecca. Then, trying to return the favor, Rebecca also started speaking about herself in the third person. This continued for several hours. By the end of it, Mandy and Rebecca decided that they should turn the initiative into a repetitious event. Thus, "Speak About Yourself in the Third Person Thursdays" was borne.

After a few weeks of "Speak About Yourself in the Third Person Thursdays", Rebecca suggested that we should invite Cassy (a friend who wanted in on a little of the fun that Mandy and Rebecca tended to create) to join our duo and create an actual group event of it. Cassy was keen on the idea, and happily joined in on the amusement. Then a couple of weeks later, Mandy decided that 2mara should also join the group (citing 2mara's witty conversational skills), and she proved to be a greatly exciting addition to the group.

Thus, the currently existing "Speak About Yourself in the Third Person Thursdays" group.

We do have a couple of rules that have been introduced. There's not much to it, but, of course you do have to speak about yourself in the third person. Also, you speak about the person that you are directing the comment to in the fourth person. I know. It's not included in the name. Somehow we felt that "Speak About Yourself in the Third Person and Address the Person You Are Speaking to in the Fourth Person Thursdays" was a little long, and we didn't want to go overboard.

Also, it is not a requirement to speak to everyone in the third person on "Speak About Yourself in the Third Person Thursdays". We tend to keep it in the group, but if you feel it necessary, get out there and express yourself!

Last of all, if you are speaking to another group member on "Speak About Yourself in the Third Person Thursdays" and forget to speak about yourself in the third person, there is a repremand... You will be flogged on the third Thursday of the Third month at 3:33.

That is all! Mandy hopes Mandy, Rebecca, Cassy and 2mara will be hearing from you soon!
