How old are you? (answers are private)

[paddington]

I thought it would be nifty to get an idea of the average of the TTD user-base. The poll results are private, so no one will see your answer. I don't think staff can see them either.

I hope everyone (even lurkers) will participate (in an honest fashion ;) )!

[marmalade]

slightly older than my teeth, well the real ones anyway ;)

[paddington]

:lol:

[GRC]

Slightly younger than my DNA....?

(and right in the middle of the TD demographic ...)

Lmao! Yeah, Ive only been drinking since I was 18 though, I have quite a few years left. :lol:

[games]

Umm, it depends when you ask me, how old I am.

[paddington]

so how old are you now?

[zzz]

Old enough to have seen an Ozzy fronted Sabbath in Cardiff, in a theatre that was pulled down years ago. Also saw Tangerine Dream there, and Gabriel when he split from Genesis, and by then, I was old enough to vote! Shit! Does that make me older then 35? ;)

[sirdan57]

Well, I'm old enough to have seen Genesis in 1974 - I was 16. Still rockin'. You'll never grow old with rock & roll !

[Al FS]

I'm in the second smallest minority :D (aka REALLY YOUNG)

[hugofuguzev]

Old enough to know better, young enough to do it again! Well...some of it, anyway...

My old lady is wont to say, "He's fourty, going on seventeen." (So is she, though...:D)

I managed to see all three original "Star Wars" movies in the theatre when they came out. Been pissed at Lucas ever since he fucked with the originals adding all that CGI crap. Haven't watched 'em since.

Technically, though, I'm eleven (I was born February 29, 1968)...normally I celebrate on the 28th, but every four years we go all out.

[snailsmeg]

I'll be 44 on the day I see (and hopefully record) The Warlocks next month :D:D:D

[sleepless]

Old enough that the cop said I was too old to be driving so fast...

Old enough to have seen the Doors at their famous Miami concert...

Old enough not to remember much of anything...

[rainy12]

Old enough to remember boxes of The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour on a checkout lane endcap at Two Guys department store. I was five at the time and the cover scared the hell out of me. Couldn't for the life of me figure out how people could be animals and people at the same time. I opened the door one day to greet my father as he came home from work. He was wearing a rubber antelope mask, I freaked.

Revenge came around two years later when our family went to vacation in the Catskill Mountains. We accidentally attended Woodstock, he freaked.

[daddyray]

decaying poorly. The old dude in the mirror is a wreck.

[Wizardry007]

Old enough to remember making a mixedtape to the first girlfriend....

old as dirt

I was around before dirt. The place used to be so clean, back then. Then, one day...dirt! Sonofa... Where'd that come from? Of course, nobody knew that would happen, so there were no brooms, vacuums or anything...

It was tough, growing up...:rolleyes:

How old am I, really? Dunno. Seems the only date I'd be able to land is carbon-dating. :hide:

Ba Dum dum....

Thank you. I'm here, most Mondays...please try the chicken.

:hmm: Still high from that show? :lol:

Floyd played at County Stadium in 1975, 1977 and again in 1987 (w/o Roger), I was at all 3. BTW, 1975 was not the DSOTM tour. County Stadium wasn't torn down until about 2002 when Miller Park opened.

The 80's must have been rough for ya.

i have to be timeless, else i'd get caught up in stereotypes and other hindrances.
but i have learnt that timeless does not equal ageless.
i am at ease with people ten years younger, but i find the language barrier between myself and people twenty years younger to be a bridge that i'd sooner burn than cross. that's sheer bloody laziness, though, you understand, rather than a measure of my own out-of-touchness with kids.
if i were much younger i'd be too young to understand the things i understand. if i were much older, i'd be too tired.
i have a sister that is twenty years younger than me: she thinks that music only rocks if the lead singer wears a blood-splattered hockey mask.

[mojofilter02]

I saw JFK get shot live on television, and The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Some Canadian groups now regarded as legendary played at my high school... like Rush, when they cost $400 to hire for a gig. I remember when an ounce cost $10. As much as I don't feel that old, let's face it, I'm old.

ETA: Oh yeah, forgot to mention: I've never seen Star Wars.

[daddyray]

(I remember when an oz. cost $40 in like 1980.....)
I have learned from my experiences and can still do so and that is way more important than whether one is one or one hundred
I am 44 going on 206

[mdshrk1]

I remember when an oz of Acupulco Gold was $10. :wtf:

[Homebrew101]

My earliest memory that I can pinpoint exactly when it was was watching JFK's funeral on TV which was on 11-25-1963, I was 2 years and 11 months old :wtf:


:cool: I remember Columbian gold at $35/oz.

[daddyray]

my first memories is from fall 1966 I was one and we moved to a house right near my cousins.... I didn't try to score for them then though :cool:

I was in 4th grade...the principal came in and whispered to Mrs. Kendall, and suddenly a radio appeared from in her desk, and we listened to the news for the rest of the day. Everyone was crying.

Afghani hash $5 a gram.
Sunshine $1 a tab

[daddyray]

they had electricity back then? :)

[mojofilter02]

Just barely, and you know those old pictures you see that are black and white? That's because everything was black and white then. Color didn't come in until the late '60s.

speed was always free on the North Shore....every smart girl and mom had some til like the mid eighties...I just had to ask politely (or steal it)
I used to take these half blue and white capsule and I could stay up for three days without being too edgy and the crash was no big deal...
very hard on my weak lil guts though.

[mdshrk1]

I'm just repeating what I heard. It's not like I DID any of these things. :lmao:

I'm old enough to have seen some of the greatest bands in the world on stage. No reunion tours or farewell tours included. Almost always at the front of the stage. The best way to see Jagger strut or feel Deep Purple shake the concrete foundation. Most of them were in thier prime and at the most creative point in thier history.
They are resposible for the 75% hearing loss that I have but I forgive them all.
