Age Roll Call
« on: 12 Mar 2013, 19:05 »

A spinoff from the WCDT; figured it would be best posted here in the "newcomers" thread. Mods, if it's more appropriate somewhere else, feel free to move it.

Oh, and we mean "as of your most recent birthday, as you vote in this poll" :P

I feel bound to mention that in the UK retirement age is no longer 65 (and is different for men and women anyway); and also that although I "should" have retired, I have not.

I think that all of us "elder statesmen" (Paul Hodges, Redball, and myself) look pretty good. 

The father of a friend of mine attributed his looking good at 70 to "good clean living, and Mogen David wine".

Three year increments made it for an easier poll.

And I stopped at 65 because it gets harder for people to read small type after a certain age... :D

Jet engines, helicopters, rifles, one grenade and other mixed pyrotechnics and way too many loud rock concerts and I know I'm done for hearing wise. Enrages any member of the female species I'm with XD

My father was a marine stationed on a gunboat during Korea.  If you were on deck when the 9" guns were fired, they gave you one cotton ball.  You pulled it in half, and put that bit in each ear. 

The VA's been very generous with his hearing aids.

From the sublime to the scatological: The appearance of stinginess reminds me of Army basic at Ft. Dix, where we were told we'd get one square of TP. We were to fold it in half and half again, tear off a piece at the center ... and honestly, I'm not quite sure what came next, except that it probably belongs in TMI.

Maybe advertisers for Jeph's pages should start paying attention: he's got that 19-24 demographic down cold.

I have the body of a 23 year old, the mind of a man in his mid 30s, the knees of a man in his 70s, and the ears of a man who's been dead for three months.

Gah, ear problems are "fun". Couple of ear-plugless concerts and I already fear I have a little damage.

Jet engines, helicopters, rifles, one grenade and other mixed pyrotechnics and way too many loud rock concerts and I know I'm done for hearing wise. Enrages any member of the female species I'm with XD

My father was a marine stationed on a gunboat during Korea.  If you were on deck when the 9" guns were fired, they gave you one cotton ball.  You pulled it in half, and put that bit in each ear. 

The VA's been very generous with his hearing aids.

Allegedly these are supposed to help for mechs now, both for skull and hearing protection, but I'm deaf and got knocked out at least twice with one of those puppies on, so judge for yourself eh? XD
