William had on a tri-corner hat earlier. Made us think, with his long hair, he could go as young Jerry junior curmudgeon in training.  ;D :icon_pirat:

Start that curmudgeon training young, it takes a long time to reach the pinnacle Lloyd achieved, Jerry is working on it but he hasn't reached Lloyd's level --he truly was a master of curmudgeonliness.

1.  a bad-tempered or surly person.

2.  a person (especially an old man) who is easily annoyed or angered and who often complains.

3.  An ill-tempered (and frequently old) person full of stubborn ideas or opinions.

I never found Lloyd to be ill tempered.

The older I get the more I understand the grumpy old guy syndrome.

History does indeed repeat itself. Different cast of characters, same behavior.  ;D

"Jesus, I've seen this BS so many times before.", is why people think we're wise.

As I sense myself getting older, I see the end approaching at which point nothing I do right now will matter, at least in terms of personal consequences. I think I have stopped caring as much what people think of me and that will probably just continue. I can foresee that coming across as curmudgeonly.

I never thought Lloyd seemed curmudgeonly. He always seemed pretty laid back and friendly.

Regardless of the dictionary definition, I think the idea of curmudgeon has evolved from that meaning to one of lovable gruffness that doesn't truck foolishness and has a worldy wiseness.

Given your attitude it is possible you may have passed on the curmudgeon gene to your son.  HE may be the chosen one.  We must wait for a sign.

instead of pirahnas, why not raffis, if they work on feet it could be like a facial....
I was thinking along those lines
