Pfft, that was a few months ago.

Just admit it gramps, you're too old for the internet.

Old is the age when you've determined that you're mature enough to condemn those damn teenagers for screwing around and wasting their education and everyone's time instead of trying be a functioning member of society.

In other words, you are old after a busy day.

Nonsense. That dates back to the medieval concept of chivalry.

I never said you had to stop screwing around and wasting peoples time, you just have to be mature enough to condemn those younger than you for doing it. :)

I actually heard a grand-dad talking to his granddaughter (who was asking hard questions like "Is that man old?" and stuff in public). He said "Honey, "old" is when you can't go out and mow your lawn, or go fishin', or slow dance with yer sweetheart."

Makes sense to me.

What about 25 June 1996? :)

Well that's when I was born, hence the cutoff.

Obviously, I am not old. I am in the peak of fitness.
