Not me. I can’t even spell very well. I’m also too shy to say who I think is the biggest egomaniac this board has seen in a long, long while. I will say that a recent post reminded me of \_\_\_\_\_. ---

I spend my entire day explaining to people that YES I am actually _that_ confident and NO I don’t feel sorry if my mere presence intimidates people. Well, not the entire day, but it happens. I guess I have an ego. But most people mistake self-assurance for arrogance. Although that is a totally different discussion. Gotta slow down on the beer tonight… I’m also hung like a horse, in case some of you wondered 🙂 ## _Coldfire, just hoping that nobody remembers that last remark when the first intercontinental IRL meeting comes around - we don’t want it to turn into a “dicks-on-the-table-contest”_ Coldfire * * * “You know how complex women are” - Neil Peart, Rush (1993) ---

I’ve been accused of being totally egomaniacal and self-absorbed because I share my life so extensively on my website.

I have a very big ego, but it’s completely justified; I’m one of the three smartest people I know, and that’s a fact. I said this at work one time, and my boss overheard me. He called me into his office and said, “Brian, I’ve noticed that you seem to view this as a competition between you and your coworkers. I think we need to do something about your attitude problem.” The setup was perfect and I immediately responded, “Attitude problem? No, my attitude is _supposed_ to be this way.” The boss didn’t find it funny, but that’s okay, because he hated my guts anyway. 😃 * * * Anything not nailed down is mine. Anything I can pry loose is not nailed down. ---
