Over 50 Forum

[John Cole]

I think it's called for. Andy will moderate--and he may let in a few honorary 50 year olds. Motto: "Don't trust anyone under 50."

I'm IN !

Bought my first poker book in '62. If only I could remember what it was and where it is.

[Zeno]

That is an excellent idea. I'm all for it. Mason should also agree. He's like, almost, you know - 60 [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

PS. A name suggestion - The Geezer Squeezer Fourm?

[As Zehn]

Funny idea, but i would change the motto to "What did he say?".

The problem is that it would discriminate against women. Few women will admit to being over fifty [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Otherwise I'm in of course [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You need an entrance exam.

Like, maybe you could ask:

What is a typewriter?
What does it mean when you say a television show or movie is in "black and white"?
What is the Geneva convention, and how many times a year is it held?

You could have some multiple choice questions, too.

"Rock and roll" is:
A) The name of a band selling CD's on late night infomercials
B) A term used in the armed forces that means you should start fighting or driving
C) A flavor of ice cream
D) None of the above.

Good idea. I'd probably apply for membership since most everyone I enjoy talking to in the OT forums is over 50. And believe me, I'm crotchety enough.

If you're over 50, you've likely had the "entrance exam." And if you're over 50, you know what I mean. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

I'm in.

My first book was "Win at Poker," by Jeff Rubens, bought in hardback in 1968. I wish I understood it as well then as I do now. Would have saved me a lot of money and a whole bunch of discouragement. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

This may peg me squarely as hetero but I prefer to think of the aforementioned test as an exit exam.
