C'mon, now, Doug-Baby! ... Gimme a break, already!

Let's NOT get our *&$!# bowels in an uproar! Just having some fun ... nothing serious, I assure you. Anyway, why the hell do you think they dubbed me "Arrogant Teacher?" Just living up to my name, Man ... that's all! American? Of course I am. In the epic words of one Stanley Kowalski (Brando - 1951), "What I ham is one hundred pu-cent American. Ahm bawn and raised in duh greatest country on dis oith, n'ahm prowd of it!" "CAREFREE and full of ignorance"...??? No way, Jos! I can't afford such luxury.
"Holier than thou" attitude...??? No doubt, you'd acquire greater insight on that issue from my first wife, Buddy! "The world's best English teacher" ...??? POOEY! No interest whatsoever! In fact, I spent 28 fantastic years in the rle of professional musician, and WHY I ever left the fold for this jive remains, to this day, the greatest enigma of my life.

I'm certain you've got me figured all wrong, Pal. B-U-T, should you feel more comfortable with an enemy-image to help you get through each and every day, PLEASE BE MY GUEST. Just don't make any damned effigies of me to stick pins into! OUCH! I'm ultra-sensitive to that sort of thing!

Cheers,
The Arrogant One
