- <p> A man who loathes Smurfs and mood rings can't be all bad.
- Soon after his "interest in cuteness started wearing thin," Jon
- Winokur, 43, evolved into a full-fledged curmudgeon--someone
- who "considers the universe a personal affront." Winokur, who
- endures life in sunny Southern California, has made crustiness
- a cottage industry with his calendar series and three books,
- including the new Friendly Advice (sample: Pay no attention to
- whatever advice you receive). At last count the compilations
- had sold half a million copies. So who's complaining?
