Today’s Run:  60 min lifting at the “Y”

There was a movie, from 1993 called “Grumpy Old Men”.  It starred Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.  It was a surprise box office hit.  It is my humble opinion that Walter Matthau had the corner market on playing grumpy old men.

Remember the Odd Couple???  Remember Dennis the Menace?  He basically played the same character over and over.  I dearly loved watching the man.  He was very funny (IMHO).

For those of you unfamiliar with the premise of this movie, there are these two “mature” neighbors who have known each other their entire lives.  They have been rivals since one of them stole the other ones “girl”.  Despite their differences, both of the men lead pretty boring lives but share a mutual love of the Minnesota Winter pastime of ice fishing.

So, I ran across this online.  It is an add for the Minnesota tourism board for the 20th Annual Grumpy Old Men Festival and it cracked me up!
