I am a third grader at Rick James Elementary School here in Slugville, Ohio. While I am only 12 (some of my friends say I look like I am 14) I will be 50 one day. I have been lurking here since I was just a kid and now want to come out of the closet. I feel like I have a lot to contribute to this group if you can stretch the rules a bit. Thanks

You'll have to ask Chipcom and DnvrFox. If they agree, you're in.

I'm so afraid to ask, soon we will have toddlers and this forum would become day care center. Unless VV can bring few of babe friends. :)

Go home kid. Come back when the AARP sends you mail.

If I catch you around here again I send you to visit auntie.

I believe the BFN forum rules require one to be 13 - something about the FCC and big fines.


If you are under the age of 13, the administrator may require that a parent or guardian provides consent before allowing you to complete the registration process. More information about this is available during the registration process.

Otherwise, fine with me!

12 year old 3rd grader????? No we don't want any young flunkies on this forum. Only old flunkies.

Better rethink this, Dnvr. This young man is 12 years old and still in the 3rd grade:eek:

Some might say this is bending the rules a bit too far but I think that if you're 12 and still in the 3rd grade, you have the kind of intellect to fit right in. Welcome.

It would probably just be confusing to you, as a lot of things we old farts discuss wouldn't make sense to someone as young as yourself. Though we could get some advice from you on how to do things like post pictures, and some of the other computer stuff that wasn't around when we were kids! I get a kick out of letting people know that I was working BC (BC?--Before Computers!).

I used to play third-base for the Slugville Slugs. How well I remember our championship series with the Northampton nimatodes. The game was played at a snail's pace, but finally we wormed our way to victory.

Hate to say it- but can this wan-a-be pass the test- Lycra? Bibs or shorts- does he have a bell- Does he ride a recumbent- and what is a brooks? Then there is the final one- Can he ride his age and eat 6 slices of Pie?

dendawg
06-10-07, 06:14 AM
I have yet to ride my age, but I have ridden my shoe size on many occasions.:D
Besides, we live in a litiginous society. We wouldn't want to get sued for age discrimination.

Maybe we should allow those under 50 to become members of the 50+ forum provided they pay $1000 fee, for each year under 50, i.e. someone who is 47 would pay $3000. All funds would be divided equally amongst those who are 50+.
That seems fare to me.

That's fine with me. That's plenty of beer kegs to go around the club.

HELLO! That's what I've been trying to tell you all along.

We should be able to sell our extra age credits to people who need them. For the right applicant I might even be persuaded to barter a few of my extra credits.

If you're not old enough have any extra credits to sell, too bad. How is it fair for somebody who's barely 50 themselves to benefit equally to those of us who have been there for over a decade?

12 years old in the third grade...uses phrases such as "I have been lurking since I was just a kid and now want to come out of the closet"...somebody is feeding us a big load of cr*p! Go play mind games with the mountain bikers!

I think you might want to ask Webb Diego what he thinks before you give your final answer.
