Me too :::::::::::::::::::)))))))))))))))))))))

At any rate, just to prove I'm not an _ _ _ (insert word here)...

HMMMMMMMMM . . . . not an _ _ _ . . . what could that be . . ( Joe mutters to himself with a big grin on his ugly mug) E G G . . . no that's too obvious . . D O G . . . perhaps, no . . . HMMMMMM , what could it be? D O N K E Y? No too many letters . . . HMMMMMMM . . . What could it be . . . ? HE HE HE HE HE HE . . . .

HMMMMMMMMM . . . . not an _ _ _ . . .

I'll even give you a hint there...
Since I wrote 'not AN _ _ _' vs. 'not A _ _ _'
then it can be assumed that the 3 letter word does in fact start with a vowel...

I found another hint

The High Colonic Master...yep...that's me...

And for those that don't like colons...

So I used Google and came up with this

These puzzles are fun, when can we do another?

Sorry skimask, I could not help myself
