And, since the world has become an increasingly more stupid place, I think we need more of us.
Curmudgeons Unite!
My kind of guy! I, too, am damn proud to not only be a crusty old curmudgeon, but I’ve made it well into my 70’s now and nobody has kicked my butt for being a smartass. If I were still drinking, I’d raise a glass to grumpy old folks everywhere.
Grumpiness is a powerful weapon for the skilled curmudgeon.
It should prob’ly be held in reserve for critical circumstances.
Wise-assedness is the natural condition of males of all ages,
so it’s nice to be of an age where it’s tolerated with a mental pat on the head.
That makes the occasional growl all the more effective.
The best part about grumpiness?
People leave you alone.
The more people I know, the more I don’t like people. Sort of a paradox.
It’s funny, at work I’m one of the older ones, here I’m a youngun’.
Why, I barely remember the 1960s!
Mostly I remember Quisp v Quake and having a tv wheeled into class to watch the second or third moon landing.
I used to have the following in an online profile: “In order to prevent conversation, I sometimes tell people I’m an Amway salesman. Ask me about Amway!”
That’s brilliant.
I wonder, does amazon have Amway hats?
Make Amway
Great Again
I like the sound of that, Doug.
The curmudgeon mode feels natural, but the smart ass is a better default mode as you said.
Thanks for all you do.
Happy Gnu Ear, all!

8th-Grade Wiseass has been proven to be a winning profile for years.
I wear the curmudgeon label as a badge of honor.
