Happy Birthday, Karen, from one curmudgeon to another.. Long live all of us..

"A curmudgeon's reputation for malevolence is undeserved. They're neither warped nor evil at heart. They don't hate mankind, just mankind's absurdities.

Nature, having failed to equip them with a servicable denial mechanism, has endowed them with astute perception and sly wit.

Curmudgeons are mockers and debunkers whose bitterness is a symptom rather than a disease. They can't compromise their standards and can't manage the suspension of disbelief necessary for feigned cheerfulness. Their awareness is a curse.

Curmudgeons have the temerity to comment on the human condition without apology. They not only refuse to applaud mediocrity, they howl it down with morose glee. "
