Bland is a bit confused here by the rules here. Aren't curmudgeons "supposed" to be rude? In a grumpy sort of way? How are curmudgeons defined here? Do they invest differently from non-curmudgeons? Is curmudgeonhood to be considered as something worth striving for? If so, how is it achieved? Are there grades or steps, or is it something one is simply born to? Just curious questions from a passerby, who is obviously too bland to be a curmudgeon himself. Blandbutmarvellous First of all, anyone who calls themselves "Blandbutmarvellous" cannot be a curmudgeon (they can be many things, but curmudgeon is not among them). Secondly, the statement "Bland is a bit confused" is anti-curmudgeonly in it's essense (maybe if Bland didn't think of him/herself in the third person, they wouldn't be so confused). Finally, the attitude of this list can be summed up by the old joke about the tourist in New York who went up to the New Yorker and asked, "Excuse me, but can you direct me to the Empire State Building or should I just go f%ck myself?" Dr. Id, who along with his cohorts lost a sh$tload of money today and is feeling megacurmudgeonly.
