Oldest Member contest

Well, I'm not gonna win the youngest member contest, but I bet I have a decent shot at the oldest. (Maybe not.)

April 1960.

heh...I'm sure I'm about in the middle range, so maybe I should open up a Statistical Median/Mean Member contest.

You should probably start the "Member Most responsible for Running other Members Off" Thread.

Or the "Most misunderstood Member Contest".

Hey, maybe I should start the "What is the best thread for Toby to Start" Thread.

**Sorry Bookrats, I did not mean to Hijack your Thread. I am not even close to the Oldest Member.**

I understand he was a hippie once. But then social disgruntlement became social rejection and he donned the leather coat of heavy metal dissidence. Now he is a pillar of the community and, after doing the white picket fence thing, has settled down with a wife and started spreading his once angry genes among the populace. Not one for hanky panky.

I thought that was Josh.

No, that'd be miradu. His spelling is pretty tough to compete with.

ISTR the poll a while back showing a member or two over 50 or 60.

No, I was never a hippie, and I was rejecting society before I got into metal.

Which community?

No, it's a natural cedar. The only pickets are at the gates to show what happens to trespassers.

Um...if I'm not one for hanky panky, then it'd seem that I'm not spreading my genes among the populace, eh? Unless, of course, one is referring to the longer view of things.

Hey, that's the fun of "Off Topic" topics... seeing what they mutate into!

Finally something good from being old. Sorry bookrats, I beat you by a bit.

I was born when Harry Truman was President (for those of you who remember him). So now I'm on my 10th President or so.

Born January 1950 and Toby I was a hippie and damn proud of it.

I was rather close (excepting the barb about being a hippie), considering it was so much malarky.

Exactly. Your progeny shall flourish. Hopefully for your sake, not as young as mine seems to be destined to (considering family precedence on his mother's side and my parents' families as well).

While we are starting contests I might as well start one I can win...
How about who lives the most far away from NYC....

Acording to my PSION for me that would be 15988 Km/9934 Miles...

Do files get embarrassed when they get unzipped?

Posted by ToolkiT on 05-08-2002 03:05 AM:

or better yet, who lives the most far away from the place he/she was born...
for me that would be about 16600Km/10320 Miles..
That would be pretty hard to beat, any further away and you start to get closer again

It's a lot better than it used to be.

From this thread we learn that older people can't stay on topic like us youths .

Also, in regard to Miradu's spelling, I don't think he's been posting as much lately. He's going for quality, not quantity.

How I wish...
I had to drive up there to work once, I like it down here better, way better. Maybe it was the work, though.

How about closest...I'm 10 miles away, and the hopsital doesn't even deliver anymore. I guess I broke 'em.

ahh.. geee whiz.. thanks

I'm not to sure I'm misunderstood though - or am i?

I still read all the boards, but I find that I have less to comment about things... I am posting one or two a day... It's like Mark, where did he go?

life changes. School is over in 1 month, than I can be off to start my company... (and keep working on VC)

See what happens when you one doesn't read the entire thread before posting? You had earned that hippie comment. Now I don't feel so bad.

You were spot on, except for the part about being a hippie, being angry, the leather coat, the pillar thing, and the white picket fence. Well... maybe you weren't so close.

If she has kids, I'm thinking that it'll probably be as delayed as she was (well, in our time frames, not gestationally, because she wasn't delayed at all in that sense).

Sure, but that's still relative.

I dunno... Sometimes it's hard to tell which words you're using.

I think he's waiting for everybody to catch up to him in post counts.
