If Spooky is founder, I shall style myself the founder of the Curmudgeon In Training Apprenticeship Program.

And no, we're not getting you coffee, you lazy old bums.

What about the Ladies Aux that every club seems to have? What does Lady Smith have to say on thay subject?

And if 50 is the cutoff Rabbi at 45 is too young to hold join and therefore cannot hold office. I being 39 must join Fistful's "In training aux."

I've repeatedly yelled at the kids across the street to stop trashing my yard. Do I qualify?

wmoner, you're right. In fact, I submit that he's also ineligible due to his failure to hate ARs. All curmudgeons and CIT hate them new-fangled ARs. It's science.

Is a cultivated indifference good enough for the training phase? Perhaps I'll grow to hate them later.

So, with your permission, of course, those who partcipate in this thread can call themselves Charter Members of the Curmudgeon Club?

Brad

That could be pretty funny as an inside joke to actually add that to one's sig line at THR.

Last time I got called for jury duty, I told the judge he needed to sit closer to the microphone and told the prosecutor to speak up a couple of times. They seemed annoyed, for some reason. Does this qualify for membership?

I love ARs. But ARs are the new M1s. I do hate the 6.5 SPC though, does that count?
Even if I'm only 45, I look like 60 and have the on-line personality of a 75 year old with severe hemorrhoids. Let's take a poll. I'd pit my ill-natured misanthropy against anyone's here.
Not that I give a @#$%^ about any @#$% position.

Thanks, Tallpine. Being thirty, I was wondering where I fit in. Can you guys start a youth auxillary for us jackasses?

As a 30 year old CIT (curmudgeon in training), I would love to have a CM (curmudgeon mentor) on whom to rely.... I think fistful hit the nail on the head, either a youth auxilliary or perhaps an aprenticeship program...

I'd be happy to be a mentor for all you young'uns. If, that is, y'all weren't such jackasses! grin

Yeah, but how many of you can boast that even your WIFE says you're a jackass?

...on second thought, the fact that I still HAVE a wife would probably disqualify me. rolleyes

I can understand a brand-name or model club if the main deal is to exchange commonly-needed information. But that's mostly for car stuff. Cars are far more complex than any gun ever thought of being. Tips, tweaks, "how-to" stuff.

But to get all emotional about a gun? Glock vs. 1911? How is somebody's life itsownself so petty and trivial that it's important at all? You like Glock or S&W or Colt, that's what ya oughta play with. Why give a hoot what somebody else likes?

I dunno. Some of these "club" guys act like they either have been or oughta be hit over the head with a club.

Cheesy

, Art

No kidding. Sure, some guns do tend to have an emotional component to them (1911, M1 Garand, etc) but
that doesn't mean they're the One True Guns that everyone else Must Worship

I think you may be right about the first part. But if you weren't such a curmudgeon, you would know that it's 6.8 SPC.

I'm glad I didn't have to be the first to point that out. You might get to thinking I read rifle country sometimes.

Wait a minute. The M1 Garand is "The One True Gun", and everybody must worship it! I have one and know this to be true!

Does saying that make me a curmudgeon? Or is it the opposite? Never mind, I'm confused. It's Fistful's fault, as usual.

Gewehr98 · « **Reply #48 on:** March 31, 2007, 06:22:15 PM »

Jeebus! I just did a quick look-see over there for old time's sake.

There appears to be at least 5 (insert gun model number here) Clubs proliferating since the first (642) one. I suppose that's a good thing, because that's less time the club leader can spend broadcasting his "catastrophic and apocalyptic global warming" screed. Wink

K Frame · « **Reply #49 on:** March 31, 2007, 06:51:08 PM »

Never paid much attention to them. But then again, I've not been over to TFL in years.

Mike Irwin, founder, the right honorable "You Go to Hell, You Go To Hell and You Die!" club.
