    Nice to donate from this grouchy lens. Grouches aren't cute.

    What fun a day when we are allowed to be grumpy, never heard of it before. My favourite grumpy tv character would have to be Victor Meldrew from One foot in the grave.

    Hmmm ... my favorite curmudgeon, so many to pick from! I'll be PC and say Archie Bunker! Celebrating Grouch Day ... I ventured on in.

    Made my day. Never knew there was a curmudgeon day. Now I know.

    "Curmudgeon" was exactly what I was looking for! Great lense
    Cheers

    If someone is going to be grouchy, they may as well excel at it. After all, who would want to fail at being miserable?

    LOL...funny, oh, ahem, that's right, LOLing and grumpiness don't go together :-(

    I love the Grumpy Old Men/Women TV programmes - I can identify with all their gripes and sentiments! So comforting to know I am not alone!

    I would say I was amused by this article, but then I couldn't be a curmudgeon! I really enjoyed this!

    Oh, this is so funny!! :) Love it, great job!

    National Curmudgeon Day is new to me -- and I couldn't possibly have been grumpy this year, as I was on vacation at the beach! :). But I'll certainly set aside some time NEXT January 29th to be a bit 'grumpy'. That way, I won't have to make excuses for a bad mood -- it's naturally 'allowed' on a day set aside for 'curmudgeons! LOL.

    This is the perfect page to use for my Grouch quest. :)

    Well my jealousy over your basking on a BEACH on National Curmudgeon Day has me feeling quite grumpy! You better plan better next year;-/

    LOL!

    Andy Rooney was my favorite Curmudgeon. RIP Andy.
  • MaryStuart Feb 11, 2012 @ 10:16 pm | delete
    Great lens! I think my favorite curmudgeon would have to be the 1990s TV sitcom character, Murphey Brown. As for me, I can hardly wait until next year when "National Curmudgeon Day" rolls around again.

    Oh, I'm so sorry I missed this one...I could have at least celebrated my grumpy side for just one day! ;) Awesome lens!
  • Tolovaj Feb 11, 2012 @ 1:25 pm | delete
    Great, just when I found a perfect day for my mood, I found i just missed it!
    Grrrr.... ;)

    The older I get, the more I seem to like this holiday.
  • KimGiancaterino Feb 9, 2012 @ 3:59 pm | delete
    Definitely Cleveland Amory. I have all of his books about Polar Bear. Thanks for highlighting this essential holiday for grumpy people.

    Darn, I missed it but there is always next year. Today's quest is to send a friendly greeting to a lensmaster for Send a Card to a Friend Day.. I immediately thought of you so wishes for happiness today. Don't worry, it will wear off before next January.

    Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street!!!

    Love it.

    Glad I found this one in time, only 3 days to go. LOL - this is wonderful. I never knew there was a Curmudgeon day. Blessed.
  • happynutritionist Jan 25, 2012 @ 12:28 am | delete
    Thank you!! I feel my curmudgeonliness going away...hopefully it will be back in time to celebrate in a few days:-/
  • poutine Jan 21, 2012 @ 7:29 am | delete
    I don't have a favorite Curmudgeon as I prefer happy people.
  • Sylvestermouse Jan 20, 2012 @ 1:36 pm | delete
    This is too funny! I promise you, I am sitting here reading this and wearing my Grumpy shirt that says "Today's forecast: Grumpy morning with a partially Grumpy afternoon" :) I need to wash it so it will be clean to wear on National Curmudgeon day. lol
  • happynutritionist Jan 25, 2012 @ 12:29 am | delete
    Yes, do that, and then send me a picture of you in it so I can use it as my intro picture...lol
  • ohcaroline Jan 14, 2012 @ 10:51 am | delete
    I think I celebrated that day about 2 weeks too early. I had a couple of really grumpy days and even remarked to a friend that I felt really cranky that day. Does that count? I think I will pass on the 29th as having already celebrated it and don't want to repeat it. :)
  • BuckHawk Jan 14, 2012 @ 7:06 am | delete
    Well, I learned something new here and am being grumpy about that. Why should I pick a favorite? I don't usually pick favorites and since I'm old and very set in my ways, I just say Bah-Humbug to that! I know exactly how I will celebrate Curmudgeon day - with a soupuss face on all day!
  • lizziebeth Jan 13, 2012 @ 11:13 pm | delete
    I will pick Scrooge as my favorite curmudgeon, because I love to watch all the Scrooge movies every Christmas season. I love how he reacts to all the Ghosts who visit him. What a great story, A Christmas Carol.
  • jptanabe Jan 13, 2012 @ 6:44 pm | delete
    I suppose Scrooge was quite a good Curmudgeon before he reformed. I guess I have a bit of work to do to reach true curmudgeonness. Blessed
