Question:
How many of you think they fall into the Curmudgeon category

Choices:
A absolutely
B maybe
C Outside possibility
D No freeking way, idiot

 

Okay, maybe your not asking about if we feel we fall into that catagory. I only meet 2 out of 3.

No, but I like to play the role when the situation is suitable.

Anyone who doesn't like Chronographs and .270 Winchesters is a Curmudgeon. Was that the question?

I'm only 33 but i'm one of the crankiest SOB's i know.

That seems to be a rather limited definition. Can you illusitate? roger

You needed one other choice: "I don't know."

At first I didn't even know what the word meant and then when I did, I thought, "No, I'm not one," but then I began to think, "How would others answer that question about me?"

If you don't think real men have long hair and earrings, does that make you a curmudgeon? Or, is it more along the lines of, "I think there's something wrong with someone who doesn't like and/or own a 30-06."

You obviously left out "Amiable to everyone(who deserves it)" so I would not be able to cast a proper vote.

But, I voted anyhow and it sure wasn't for totally worthless chronographs and the pathetic 270Win, especially in a Rag P-64(Holy Grail) M70.

WOW! You're right ! I really screwed up that time. roger

Yesssssssssssssss, I am!!

Other people usually start to call you that at age 50, especially if you have a reputation for not tolerating fools graciously.

Rich
that would be Mister Curmudgeon to you...

OK Rich, your definition seals it for me. If its one thing I can't tolerate, It's a fool!

Some of you obviously have not participated.
