They almost make up for the fact that you schmucks seem to have accepted me as merely the penultimate curmudgeon rather than top dog. The only possible excuse for that is that you are reserving the spot for tekgirl, who demonstrates her sublime curmudgeonly indifference to y'all by sneering at the entire enterprise and swearing at me, the cats, and her portfolio in Swedish. The notion that Apollo, a mere rude-talking newbie stand-in for Bones "I'm just a simple country doctor" McCoy, would even be considered for such an honor is a pathetic disgrace to this thread and everything it stands for.
I think you were honestly very close, based on the way you abuse Tekgirl. I think if you had told us that you sent her off limping to run all chores, and take the cat to the vet, and you expected her to mow the front and back lawns when she got back from the vet, the orthopedist and the obstetrical appointments, in her casted foot.................well, now, that would have deserved the full Monty designation of The Ultimate Curmudgeon.
Unfortunately, you came up short, ......and limp.
Beam me up Scotty.....there's no intelligent life here.
