You know one of those universal old people who literally corners a young one and proceeds talk his/her ear off? Well, back in my day...

To quote a song I was just listening to, someday we'll be dignified and old. ;-)

I'm a young fart, and people have noted my premature curmudgeonliness since I was, oh, 18. And more than one person has said that I'm going to be unbearable come age 65.

Old people never seem to talk to me, maybe I look too ill-behaved and scruffy. I would quite like it if they would talk to me, because I have heard that the elderly like to have something called "a nice cup of tea" and that it comes with biscuits.

I could listen to the stories of Ye Olde Yesteryear for any number of hours if there was tea and biscuits.

― rainy, Sunday, 28 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Somebody recently told me something wonderful about being a cynic, you wanna hear it?

― rainy, Sunday, 28 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i should bloody wellhope so - the more one ages, the better one's bitterness...it's our right goddamn it.

It's not the cynicism, it's the crankiness, that gets me tagged a curmudgeon. You can be cranky without being a cynic, though it does help.

I am turning into my parents i think, all of a sudden I am interested in what people do, who they are related to and where they fit into the scheme of things. next thing I will turn into a professional matchmaker

I like recounting anecdotes (sometimes I interrupt people to do so- oops!) and arguing for the sake of making noise, so I'm going to be an excellent curmudgeon.

I did JURASSIC OR STUD BEFORE.

Er......I said that like it was something be proud of.

Mine was about Sean Connery. I'm sure Pete or someone mocked it. Jealous.

― Ronan, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You're all like those old people to me.

Fucking 20 somethings and your careers or whatever you call them.

― Ronan, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think curmudgeons are born, not made. I've been one all my life.

So I was IMed yesterday evening - some A/S/L font-jive. "She" is a "14-year-old" Floridian. Of course, in the name of quid pro quo, I offer up my vitals - 26/M/New England. (Just in case.)

Her response - HOLY SHIT.

So, to all you young'uns out there, with your YOUTH and your inability to DRIVE or VOTE, I salute you with my raised middle finger and a boot in the butt. And then maybe I'll buy you some smokes and a beer. Maybe.

And, yes, I am a CIT (Curmudgeon In Training). Still have to work on my Senseless Vitriol, though - I still get stuck in Frantic Rant mode whenever I start really bitching. I should drink more absinthe.

Did you Ronan? Oooh no...I feel like such a biter! Now I know the deep shame Ray Parker Jr. must've felt during that whole Ghostbusters lawsuit thingy. That makes you Huey Lewis by the way.

― Kim, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(I say that like that young whelp is even gonna know what I'm geezing on about anyway)

― Kim, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

eleven months pass...

Wow... it's taken me an entire year to notice that I made a typo in this thread title. LOSER. Holy fuck.
