Newspaper article about my grandpa.
Read this article about him. He's freaking hilarious. They even mention how he always wears cutoff sleeveless t-shirts cuz he's crazy. Please note- in the 4th sentence they call him a "perennial curmudgeon"!!!!!!!!!!!!111
curmudgeon
noun
a crusty irascible cantankerous old person full of stubborn ideas
dear god that describes him PERFECTLY. My favorite thing my grandpa ever said to me went like this:
"GAH, the biggest mistake america ever made- creating the automatic transmission. so that women could drive on the road."
"but grandpa, i drive a stick shift."
"ah, see. you're a woman. you're too stupid to realize you drive an automatic."
he's so old and senile it's endearing.
anyway, this is about him:
Artical!!
i just remembered another fun story:
"ew grandpa, you smell bad!! go take a shower"
"of course i smell! a man isn't worthwhile unless he smells!"
sentences in the article that can't be missed:
There is no subject on which O'Brien doesn't feel strongly, including a woman's place in the world...
...refused to be beaten by a dwarf or runners dressed in a hot, heavy, rubber rhino suit. Their story of fulfilling a running friend's last wishes and spilling his remains over the bridge at the start of the NYC Marathon is hilarious.
