No what you have are bullets in the hope that when your guns are empty I'm no longer standing. Because if I am, you'll all be before you've reloaded.

I look at it this way. You're old when you're about to die. And scince we could die at any time, we're all old.
Death is the final reminder of our own mortality.
When all my ennimies die, I hope i have the strength to spit on their graves or the money to pay someone to do it for me
Maturity and respectability is determined by what you post/say/do. Not by a number. Lying about one's age is pointless, unless it is for activities that are illegal for your age group, in which case you shouldn't be lying about your age anyways.
Lurking softly, reading your posts, loving your ideas...

In a few years, though; I may start lying about my age; claiming to only be 55 years old. Please do not laugh when I do this...
Uh, redeye, i hate to burst your bubble, but in another thread, you said you were at least sixty "oh what you learn in sixty years"... so... i don't think anyone's going to believe that anyway... well... you could get botox... that usually make people stare at your emotionless face rather than wonder about your age... yeah, i know... i'll shut up now...
Please: If I lie and say I'm fifty-five and not my real age of sixty, I won't need Botox; I'll just use my usual treatment of silly putty and sandpaper.
