Hmmm.  Interesting as in a major disease?  Maybe.  Interesting like a good 
movie or book?  Hardly.  Now, his reasons for "using" those words are 
well-intentioned, but if he managed to use them correctly, then he'd 
really bo on to something.  Or, if perhaps he didn't use the same word, 
over and over again to describe similar (and sometimes dissimilar) actions.
   I guess, if you like that sort of thing, more power to you.  Myself, I'd 
rather put my head in a vise (and put a few hundred turns on it) than 
listen to him.  Perhaps you enjoy his uninformed criticisms of Walker and 
Pierce, et al, but I do not.

Give me Tommy and Gorman any day.  If my choices are between vanilla and 
annoying, I'll take vanilla.  One thing I can't criticize him or Marv 
about, though, is their rampant homerism: can't blame them for that, but I 
wish I didn't have to listen to it.
