Grumpy old men???? Grumpy old men????? It's decreed in nature that when men reach a certain age they automatically become 'curmudgeons', so I'm told are some women.......
I'm not a grumpy old man....I'm a happy-go-lucky young 18 year old, trapped in a curmudgeons body......:playful:
 
Controllers, they just love to micromanage, close cousins to the thought police, often found on forums channeling hall monitors/prefects, ensuring the purity/on topic of thread content whether or not the OP is concerned. Not known to have a highly developed sense of humour.

Guys that monopolize a conversation…with l-o-o-o-o-n-g, boring sagas, supplied with ‘it was really funny’ kicked in ever now and then for effect.
These folks have mastered a unique uninterruptable breathing technique that does not require air…wind, yes….not air.
And they happen to smile while reciting these excruciatingly scintillating details.
Of which causes me to involuntarily smile back.
Unfortunately, their well-practiced smile muscles have the endurance of The Joker.
Mine, well, a half hour into it, it begins to become a fading twitch.
Any longer and my lips develop into full Tourette, and on to a frowning twisted sadistic grin.

Anyway, I avoid these folks like the plague they are.

There’s one now, less than two miles down the path.
His wife is off on some 4 week adventure, deep into the mountains.
(I wonder why)
My lovely lady suggested we invite him over for a home cooked meal.
My frowning twisted sadistic grin immediately kicked in.
'And where will I be, dear?'

You mean the pc gestapo?
I was having a conversation with a woman and I said the poor kid was retarded. She said you mean developmentally challenged! For crying out loud, how do they expect people to keep up with that crap? If somebody is so backward that they used last week's word I'm sure they really meant no harm.

The term retarded has been unacceptable since before the early 1990s - not yesterday. It's the same as calling them a moron or imbecile. It not about "PC", but for those who enjoy using perjorative terms, well...whatever. :shrug:

It's not the word that's important but the intent. Like the sound of a boot being pulled out of the mud. It says f**k but it doesn't mean it.

Well, then why didn't you say: Yes, ma'am, developmentally challenged was my intent. Or did she yell at you?
