My Curmudgeonly is complete:

[P Thought]

I always got Don Williams confused with Don Gibson, and I'm not even old enough for curmudgeonage

You sure it wasn't Don Ho you were listening to?

 

[bowman]

Don’t sell yourself short, TD. There’s no upper limit to curmudgeonly feelings - the world is full of stuff to be annoyed with. Strive to be the best curmudgeon you can be!

 

[Kandinskyesque]

Sounds like you need some easy listening.
I find it impossible not to see the world as an absurdly pleasant place whenever I hear this

I've been known to sing it to myself and smile in moments of great tribulation such as missing the garbage truck (we call them "the bin men" in these parts).

Yesterday as I was unloading groceries from the CRv, I had the radio on, and Don Williams was playing in the background. It was getting on my nerves because it was too bouncy and noisy. When Don Williams can elicit this kind of response from you, you are there, no further training required YOU HAVE REACHED THE FULLEST STAGE OF FULL-BLOWN CERTIFIED CURMUDGEON.

Don never got in a hurry over anything it seems. Reminds of seeing jr. Samples on Hee Haw one time where he was asked if he ever did anything in a hurry. His answer… “i get tired in a hurry”

Perhaps a bit too much Watermelon Wine?

I just played “Sea of Heartbreak” and “Look Who’s Blue” not too long ago.

I normally like Mr. Williams; I had just unloaded four 35-pound flats of water. They won't fit on my little handcart, so I have to lug them partway up the driveway, through the garage and into the washroom where we keep the water.

Then I was unloading the rest of the "few things" my wife always picks up at the store. About that time, Mr. Williams was on the radio being all laid back. When I die, Walmart will probably have a moment of silence for me at one of their big board meetings.

You too?

You too?

Might as well double down and say I meant Ray Price.

If you think you might be a curmudgeon, you aren't one. You've still got perspective.

 

[Dan German]

Mrs. German thinks I have been a curmudgeon since long before she knew me. I owned a Buick station wagon at age 21, so maybe she’s right…

If it walks, and squawks, and craps all over the place like a duck,…then….well you know

CRv? Trade that in for a Buick.

I like my CRV- '09 that had 47K miles on it when I bought it last December, 51K miles on the clock now.

 

[Lonn]

I knew you were curmudgeon as soon as you said you had the radio on.
