Uncle Shag: Gotta tell you that sounds like one of my 'odd'uncles, could fix anything mechanical, but had the manners of a grouch, smoked the most vile cigars, drank beer like a fish, and made a drunken evil-temepered curmudgeon look like a diplomat! Clearly I idolized the old fart, and followed his good example! Now I'm the motorcycle building curmudgeon and working on getting to 'First-class Grouch' one day. But I am glad to see you here anyway!!!!!!!!!

Well, Wayz, I see you are a fine judge of the Personality One Dimension Disorder Ever Ready (PODDER).

On paper, or, manipulated ions I come off guilty as charged, though you were too kind in some areas. Overlooked though as I am the forgiving sort of curmudgeon. Never go to bed angry is my motto. End the mess once and for all and then crawl on in!

Yep. I' an old PODDER from way back! I crew on the ark you know so I have a long experience to draw from when I get to poeming!

My uncle used say something along those line too! I think it was 'When in an argument stop and realize the other guy might be just as dense as you." (His idea was to try and come out ahead on the whole thing in the end, along with the other fellow. Although I admit he wasn't always so moved to kindness, his idea of getting ahead was often a bit radical! You should have seen his collection of heads before he got religion and milded down a mite as he aged.)
