What's with the Bob's?

I saw the home page and noticed that two games in a row were about guys named bob. First Bomber Bob, and then Freefall Ninja Bob 2. I may have those titles off a bit. But why Bob? Is it becuase the authors were not creative enough for a better name, or too lazy to find a name generator on the internet, or is Bob really that awesome so that he can go from bombing to freefalling in the blink of an eye? You know what an awesome name is : Kojo. Kojo is a cool name becuase it can be applied to many situations. It sounds Japanese enough to use in a Manga/Anime/Japanimation game, but the son of United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan is named Kojo Annan, so that it can also be used for African games. But there aren't very many African games. Except maybe Mel Gibson's Safari 3 by Marty Poon. That game kicked ass.

Bob is a name people who don't know what to name their character use, also used by uncreative parents…

Hey, what do you call a guy with no arms and no legs, and floating in a pond?

Bob.

Both were my games, and Bob rocks! First, Bomber Bob was made because I thought it sounded good. But then I made Freefall Ninja Bob 2 as a sequel to Freefall Ninja Bob by SK8 on Omega Metroid's forums, to prove that any game comcept could work well, so the last name wasn't my fault. Anyway, what's Bob ever done to you?

Bob stole my luch money in the second grade. So one day I hid in a tree with a baseball bat, and when he was walking home from school, I jumped him and beat his brains in. He never stole my lunh money again.
