Are you a Kilted Curmudgeon?

[Howard Clark]

I'm not old enough, but that is the only thing between me and curmudgeonhood.

BAH Humbug...

Actually, #1 one would be Al. Yes, Mr. Kilt. He's been using the Kilted Curmudgeon moniker for years on MSN Messenger.

Hmmm... I have my days.

(Could you kids be quiet a bit ! I'm trying to communicate with the rest of the world here !)


Best,

I have been informed, more than once, that I am becoming more curmugeonly. I take that as a compliment since I really am only in training at this time. It is my goal to attain the distinguished rank of full blown curmudgeonship.

Undies? What undies?

Not wearing any helps one avoid a certain crustiness...

Ewwww! That is disgusting!

I am sure I meet the age criterion, and grumpy is my middle name (according to my wife), although I think having a 19 month old son running around my house keeps any "crust" from forming on me (kind of like a constantly moving boat never develops barnacles), so I guess I am yet to reach full fruition of curmudgeonliness, but am well along the path.

Kilted Kurmudgeon vs. Catering Curmudgeon

I have a neighbor who thinks I am a skirt-wearing personification of Satan, and she nearly hosed me down while I was mowing my own front lawn last weekend.

She, however, never wears a kilt, skirt, or dress, opts for grunge attire, and perpetrates an unbearable noise nuisance from her catering truck business onto my property and into my house day and night.

My lawsuit against her nuisance is about the only thing we have in common - besides the rickety wooden fence separating us, and the fact our birthdays are only two months apart.

I view this caustic and flammable situation as immersion training in curmudgeonliness.

Kilted Curmudgeons of XMTS stand and be counted!

Why you little...

Why should I stand up?

(Panache gives Old Hippie "The Look.")

Oh.

I guess that answers the question, eh?

If we're assignin' numbers, I'll take 41. It's my lucky number. (I can barely remember when it was my age!) I just figure nobody's dukin' it out for that one.

Now bring me my whisky or I'll strike about you with my cane.

Somebody has to be chipper, bright, polite, and kindly don't they?

Otherwise who would the Kilted Curmudgeons complain about!

Ah, but James, the true art of Curmudgeonhood is to be able to find something to gripe about in every situation and every person.

I for one have found your incessant nicityness to be a constant source of curmudgeonly quips and comments.

It's sort of like my wife who awakes at 0500 each morning with a chipper "Good Morning Honey, it's the start of another wonderful day. Have you re-wired the Kitchen yet?"

I put it to you that your example is bass akwards in that if it were not for us your sort of folk would not have anyone to remind to do all those things that are good for you.

For example my wife says "Aw Honey, your not eating your salad."

And I reply "Salad is not food. Salad is food for food."

And she smiles and politly says "But it's good for you, and healthy."

To which I reply. "Dear, my loving one, I did not claw my way to the top of the food chain to graze on vegetation."

So you can take all your chipper, bright, polite and kindly words and....
Oh, yea, this is a family friendly forum.
