Flint - how true, how true! A basic tenent of AA, as a matter of fact, to wit : "Whenever I find myself pointing a finger at you, three more fingers are pointing back at me!" So, whatever I find offensive in you, I am probably guilty of at least three times as much.

that said, I am no where NEAR this guy in terms of pure, unadulterated narcissism. He's actually breathtaking in his self-centeredness.

I shall try, as suggested, to admire him as an art form.

I like the wolf's idea, too. I'll let you know how it works out should I use it!
