How about a song to describe your last post??

i don't get any music that came out after Crosby, Stills and Nash. But, the monkey did look like me, if he wasn't wearing glasses.
Just trying to keep this thread alive, Any Which Way You Can.
Maybe it should move to the movie forum?

You got me.
Had to look it up on Wikipedia. It lists Psychobabble as 1982, past my time in music, which ended around 1975. When The Band broke up.
but I see that Alan Parsons was born in 1948, Good year.

Bob not only was there, he got a senior's discount. 😛

I am told Red Night is not a candidate.
I'm of the opinion that 78 may indeed be the age that wins the title.
Now I wonder who the youngest player on the site is. Physically, not mentally.

78 is not the oldest on the site.

There are two who are in their 80's.

The youngest is dictated by RHP standards, however those have been breached on at
least two occasions that I am aware of.

So far, a 13 year old was the youngest that I am aware of (as a member).
There could be others playing on their parent's account, but I don't know for sure.

the interesting factor driving this iz the number of times a body haz orbited a star???
and this will influence the growth of the universe how???

there are thingies that humans discuss that have me wondering...
this iz only one of them, but, there it iz, in lovely black pixels onna pseudo white screen...

there are many activities that humans engage in that require an "age" of participants...

wanna drive a car???
wanna vote???
wanna play chess on the rhp???
wanna get married???
wanna swim in the deep end of the pool without yer parent or guardian being present???
wanna hunting license???

add yer own silliness if you desire...

these activities can all be accomplished intelligently by those younger than the required "age"...

it just so happens that "age" iz the simplest test that can be administered...

and those administering the tests need simple...

Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.
