How Old Are You?

Ok I\'ll hold up my hands and admit I\'m 48 on 5th January 2004. (That\'s right only 12 more years to the Golden 60th birthday)
No I don\'t feel old, and I certainly don\'t act it.
As for being a coffin dodger; Yes and proud of it. (Three close shaves though!)

Serious studies

Let\'s just have a look at the skill/age curb of average people:

average people

Clearly you can see that talent usually comes from the age of 14. Making a young blood competition is just to have a good laugh.
Then you reach some peak at around 25, to stay weirdly the same until the age of 50 where it plummets. You can observe a small gap at about 40 years old in every male studied. This is mainly due to minis happening to be stuck in a baby\'s mouth, or swallowed by a youngster. Later, once the child has understood the value of his father\'s hobby, the painter can go back to his passion.

But sooner or later wrinkles come, movements are not so swift anymore, and when you head shakes, you can\'t see what you\'re doing.

Now, are you average, or are you part of this small elite whose curb is like shown in fig.2:

Goatman and Haley curve


On this figure you can see that neither Goatman nor Haley are average human beings as they master all techniques by the age of 4.

Proof has been made that they\'re aliens who came here to take over the golden demon.

Thank you for your attention.


note: this is to be taken with a little humour (stop throwing rocks at me !!!)

note²: not less than 4 successive edits to be able to post this message. Uerk....

I was just reading that in Miami starting in January they have Pirate parades. I\'ll have to look into the exact date, but they honor some pseudo-historic pirate with a ship coming into the harbor and \"pirates\" coming ashore and sharing their booty (throwing beeds etc to the crowds).

Congratulations: we will miss you.
(you\'ll find that for a while at least, marriage interferes with all your old hobbies - and if children should come along, well, it\'s been nice knowing you)

Worth every bit of it though.

Gaparilla [sp?] Days! I went to them when I was a wee child :D NO! It wasn\'t the Original landing of the pirates:mad:

I believe they\'ve updated that last line now though:
\"...and pirates coming ashore and throwing beads to the crowd if they show thier boobies...\"

I already live with my fiance and since he\'s a minipainter as well, it\'s not going to be a problem.

And yes, there is a child on the way (although that\'s not why we\'re getting married, we\'ve been talking about it for a couple of years), so that is why I haven\'t been painting for the past couple of months. :D

It\'s also why I feel younger. lol

I am 37.

And to quote Granpa Simpson....

\"I used to be with \'it\',
but then they changed what \'it\' was.
Now what I\'m with isn\'t \'it\' anymore and
what\'s \'it\' seems weird and scary.\"
lol

All the fours..

44...

I think that makes me almost a spring chicken around here. Well, there are at least three other coffin dodgers around who are closer to their pension than me:D

Erm.....

I feel completely unable to contribute to this post on account of...... I wish to lie stupidly about my age and lying isn\'t good. So in order not to blemish my angelic persona on this forum, I decline the invitation to \'give it up\' and I remain yours \'shyly\' Tooshy :rolleyes:

PS: Mr Finn - if you give up my age, you\'ll never see 45 ;)

Ah but don\'t forget we have seen evidence taken in the PINK 70\'s....
Plus you have a 14 year old son \"Dennismech\" which makes you at least 30. lol


EDIT ....angelic persona... Hold the phone, we\'ve read your posts. There\'s no way you\'re getting away with that one. ;)

I\'d probably put Tooshy\'s age close to mine, personally, maybe a bit on the younger side. :D

And this is going from the Bunny Outfit picture.
