The Curmudgeon Rides Again gathers the best of over 600 columns written by award-winning columnist R. Karl Largent. His weekly column, The Curmudgeon's Corner, has been named Indiana Column of the Year three times.

Whether discussing Food, Fat, and other Aphrodisiacs or his mother "the Democrat," Largent is hilariously funny in his take on the truth on such topics as:

Birthdays- "...I don't like birthday parties. Birthday parties are sorta like bragging that a person gets to pay life insurance premiums for another year."

Food- "Have you ever noticed that a really good salad bar has lots of crocks of stuff? I'm not an authority on 'expression derivation' but that's probably where the expression 'that's a crock' comes from."

Men vs Women- "...most men don't know how to act or what to say most of the time. As one very respected member of the opposite gender once put it, 'Most of the time, men are just plain asleep at the switch.'"
