Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

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

BNagelNo, but if you act right they are often good resources. For those who actually don't play well with anyone, there's 'ignore' on the Net anyway...

Red C.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."

Red C.
Everything I say is fully substantiated by my own opinion.

Hot CoreYou 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.

Idaho SharpshooterYesssssssssssssss, 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...

crickerOK Rich, your definition seals it for me. If its one thing I can't tolerate, It's a fool!
The tree huggers are out there. They can't be reasoned with, they can't be bargained with... they don't feel pity or remorse or fear...and they absolutely will not stop. Ever.
