Stop the Presses! Editor Punches Writer in the Kisser

Here in the editorial offices of The Curmudgeon, I have sometimes been know to rant and rave about poor writing executed by a member of the staff. Not too much, but sometimes. Never mind that I am guilty of my own share of mistakes and crappy writing, but I’m the boss. When they become the [...]

PETA Wants Amityville House of Meat-Eating Horror

Here in the impetuous offices of The Crusty Curmudgeon, we are often shooting off of figurative mouths about the latest PETA absurdity, with this caveat: we are pro-animal rights. I do not want any more forests to be taken for wood, or the rainforest clear-cut so someone can try to grow potatoes, or any species [...]

Episcopalians to Offer Mass for Dogs

Here in the dog lovin’ offices of The Curmudgeon, writing about dogs is not uncommon. We’ve written about hero dogs, abused dogs, well, lots of stuff about man’s best friend. So we were tummy-tickled when the following news item came over the wire: In Danvers, Mass, Calvary Episcopal Church will begin offering a mass for [...]

It’s Official: Cavemen Were Obsessed With Sex Too!

Here in the art-filled offices of The Curmudgeon, we have placed a few tastefully erotic but not salacious objet d’art. I like to admire them during bouts of writer’s block or publisher’s rage. During these perusals I have often wondered exactly when modern man’s and women’s obsession with sex and the human body – specifically [...]

Facebook Felon Runs Criminal Empire From Prison

Photo by pavelm on flickr. Adapted by Christopher Reilly Here in the open offices of The Curmudgeon, employees are free to go and come at their convenience, though I’m sure they feel incarcerated due to my strict adherence to deadlines. I don’t know what they have to complain about. Even when they are locked in [...]

Has the Jury Reached a Verdict?

Here in the natural habitat of The Curmudgeon, I guess we’re what you call animal lovers. I’m personally not militant about it, but I think animals are cool and we should probably keep them around, and when I hear about “vanishing species” and animal abuse, it really gets my goat. So I was tickled to [...]

Man Bites Off Friend’s Penis and Swallows

Here in the well-appointed but not posh Curmudgeon offices, lunchtime is approaching. Usually, the staff fends for themselves, or we all order Chinese or Deli, or we have an ersatz business meeting at one of the local brew-pubs, with steaks, chops, burgers, oysters, salads, and cold, frosty artisan beers. Not today though. Maybe never again. [...]

Teen Fad Hugging: Why are Adults Freaking Out?

Here in the touchy-feely offices of The Crusty Curmudgeon, we are huggers all. I suppose this is because my erstwhile crack staff takes their cue from me. I am a touchy-feely guy, due to my upbringing and young adulthood in show business. Us performers are huggers, and are quick to touch a woman’s hand or [...]

OctoMom: Porn for $1 Mil or Diapers for 1 Year?

Here in the lush offices of The Curmudgeon, some of our staff are trashy but by no means sleazy. And I mean the good kind of trashy. You know what I’m talking about? Like (insert favorite female pop star here) in that video (insert name of song here) just makes you want to (insert vile [...]

Boxxy, “an hero,” and other Internet Horror Stories

Here at the opinionated but not acidulous Curmudgeon, we are Internet-savvy in all things Internet. At least I thought so, but I am apparently not, at least not to the professorial degree I thought I was. Perhaps someone on my staff should have filled me in on a couple of things. I would think that [...]
