Who is the Crusty Curmudgeon?
The Crusty Curmudgeon is actually a fellow by the name of Christopher Reilly and he’s really not that big of a grouch, just easily irritated with a dash of cynicism and simmered in humor. But sometimes, his attitude is for the right reasons.
Hello. I have been a professional writer for 25 years with experience that encompasses articles, essays, websites, Internet content, stage plays, radio plays, industrial films, commercials, songwriting, lyrics, corporate films, and technical writing.
Some of my credits include one-man show, Ode To A Tough Guy, the life and times of Humphrey Bogart, performed in N.Y.C., Missouri, and Indiana. My film for the American Association of Orthodontists, Smart Mouth!, won three regional Emmy Awards for Best Film, Best Editing, and Best Directing. The original musical, Alphonse and Gaston Visit the Wild, Wild West, as well as my adaptation of Poe’s classic, The Cask of Amontillado, were produced and aired on National Public Radio, for which I also wrote, composed, and produced the original music. My writing clients also include Monsanto, Southwestern Bell, Mark Twain Bank, Insituform Systems, Marcone, and many others.
Also a skilled voice-over artist and actor, I was the voice of Dial-the-Weather, the OTB Result Line, and Dial-the-New York State Lottery in N.Y.C. As an actor I have performed Off-Broadway in NYC and at regional theatres across the US, and in commercials and industrial films too numerous to mention.
There is a whole lot more stuff I could stick in here but this is getting really boring, even to me.
I also write at Hubpages.com, and Suite101.com, where I received the Editor’s Choice Award. I also write for ProCW.com (Professional Content Writers).

That is quite a coincidence (comments at the same time)! I hope to make the reverse of your journey… I live in St. Louis, but I am searching for jobs in New York. Thanks for checking my blog! It’s in the works so I appreciate your kind words. I’ll be sure to keep up with yours, too!
I love your site. Keep it up !
Hi, Christoph,
finally a chance to visit you at your own blog. Nice job and great site.
knowledgetoday: Thank you for the compliment. Looking forward to your continued visits!
Benson: Great to see you here, Dr. Benson, and thank you. I visited your site and thought it was excellent!
Crusty,
thanks for visiting. I think your scoring probably starts from excellent and up. LOL.
I went through your profile and was amazed by your varied talents. Have top dial up a couple of those numbers and listen to your voice-talent one day.
Hi Benson,
You won’t hear my voice talent yet. I’ll have to go look at the site and see if I have implied that you could, because it is not yet available. Thanks again! You never know when I might need a surgeon!
What…no cookies?
Hi Spryte! Oh, did someone eat all the cookies? I’ll set some more out, pronto. Thanks for the note. Your pal, Curmudgy.
My dog writes like this.

Do the Crusty Curmudgeon executives do anything bad to people who spam comments? If so, I retract all but my last two posts and this one.
Talented dog!
I presume you mean in the sense of Law, the God of Good Sex and Good Looks.
I am not allowed to divulge that information. Where did you say you lived?
Nice blog!
