        LOL. You're thinking marketing in the OT? Dan S is 59 or 60.

        We try not to talk about him because he's an Ohio boy and that gives Dan Riffle ammo to think that people from Ohio can actually be smart.

          Some of us are. Dan is 59. I think he's two months older than I am. And he grew up about 30 miles away from me. His autobiography Unfinished Business is a decent read.

          Kennedy used to wear a goatee. He shaved it off, after he met Dan Riffle.

          Of course, he also went on a diet, after he met me.

          And it's been Kennedy's "last year" for about 12 years now.

            I didn't realize you are my age. I somehow thought you were younger by several years. Hmmmm. 54 was some kinda year.

              Dear God, woman, haven't you seen his picture?! The man's damn near a crypt keeper.

              I've seen him in person. It's like Mr. MaGoo ate himself.

                  I'm not certain how my comment on how old Claude looks pertains to you, Sal. From my understanding, you are a wizard of beauty secrets. Claude is a wizard of looking older than he is.


                  Edited to add: In all honesty, I wouldn't call Claude fat. I would say his body is in perfect proportion to his head.

                    So, now Dan Riffle has insulted several of us.

                    He just keeps digging deeper.......That young Riffle character.

                    And you want to know how come I look so old? Riffle sucked the life out of me. I have the video.

              Sal; Thank you. But you have to realize, every picture you see is taken in the past. And videos are taken at a distance. And I look 59, trust me. Dan Kennedy looks older than that to me.

              Young man....why are you so mean to me? I was perfectly happy, looking to the future. I had big plans, and looked forward to a well planned retirement.

              Now, because of your post...I know that I have nothing to look forward to but the grave. My wife read your post, and she can't stop crying. She just can't believe that a nice young man like you could be so disrespectful of your elders.

              And now, you have insulted Sal. Why not just kick a baby, while you're at it. Young people today.

              I curse the day I met you. Good day Sir! I said Good Day!

    Normally, he's 97. But for a limited period, that's been specially reduced to 47!

    Well, maybe I'm just too stupid to be insulted. I wasn't slapped - I just couldn't figure out how Dan could think of 59 as "old". I'm just now starting to think of my Dad as old......and he's freakin' 90. How old is Dan R and, more importantly......how decrepit is he at whatever that age is that he thinks of 60 as the age of over and out? Crap - remind me never to invite him on a field trip. I don't need some young geez dropping dead on me out there. I'm not gonna drag someone out and I wouldn't wanna be stuck digging a hole big enough to drop him into.

    Edit: stopped to eat while posting and came back and didn't see your post, Dan. I dunno about beauty wizardry. I can still grab a second look from guys probably younger than you - but that's with a bag over my head and my midrift showing. Never was a beauty and 60 yrs doesn't help that - but sure still am in some great shape.

        I thought Kennedy would be older. I guess because I've known about him for a very long time.

        manufacturing companies. They basically sell furniture for normal income people and tend to
        put chain competition out of business in this region. He's "retired" four or five times at least.
        He's 83 or so now and still CEO.

      Good Lord, people. I didn't say anything about age specifically. I joked that Claude looked old. That he looked like a crypt keeper. That he looked like a fat Mr. MaGoo.

      That said, I won't tell you my age, but I will say that my mother turns 82 next month. And she's still just as mean and ornery as always.

      Decrepit isn't too far off at the current moment, considering I'm recovering from a torn meniscus...from getting out of my car.

        Serious? You tore your knee to snot just getting out of a car? Holy crap. Okay - so you didn't call us all old................um..............I still have to rest on my comment about not taking you into any wilderness areas. I think I should add ski trippin' to that one now, though.

          Eh, my knees are shot from (and this is setting up Claude) playing catcher (baseball, Claude) from first grade through my freshman year in college. A second torn ACL by the age of 18 retired me. I've been gimpy every since.

                I knew it! I was looking for my thunder earlier today. I reported it missing, to the police. Sooooo.... you just confessed to the crime.

                      What kind of balloons did you have as a child?

                      Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

                        The kind that let me know that "big" doesn't always mean "thick" or full of anything but air.

                          So...you can't decide if you want to describe me as "Big" or "Thick"?

                          Well...it is a debate that has been going on for quite awhile.

                          I'm just happy when people assume I'm inflatable.

                              I don't think it's going to go anywhere at all. I pushed the envelope on that one for the sake of a good joke. And Sal gave it her OK.

          Well, once the answer is given, the only thing left to talk about is the size of Claude's head.

          You can't have been here very long if that surprises you.

          The only threads that don't end up talking about Claude's head are threads about Claude's head, which no-one bothers responding to.

      It's also much more fun to go this route than to ask the question and someone just say's "59", then it ends.

      This is the bar area, this was a bar style question, we're now chatting in the bar about vacuum head.
