Re: MEMBERS POLL: What's your age?

The day I was born Sam Cooke was number 1 in the US with You Send Me and Harry Belafonte was number 1 in the UK with Mary's Boy Child. So yes...I am really old enough to know better!

HA...I've had a lot of trainees this summer who are in their very early 20's. I was speaking to one about the new 21 Jump Street movie, and how I didn't want to see it because I liked the original TV show too much. She looked at me like I'd grown another head on my shoulders and said (disdainfully), "Um, it wasn't a show. It's a movie." Au contraire, mon petit chou!

She didn't believe me until I finally Googled it. *sigh*

Re: MEMBERS POLL: What's your age?

Funny, Banbha!

OK, I've got one too.  This happened quite a while back, but some of you more mature Americans will appreciate it.  My (young) officemate stopped by my apartment one evening while I was watching an old television show on cable.  He recognized one of the voices and asked in some surprise, "Is that George Burns?"  I replied, yes, in fact it was the The Burns and Allen Show.  To which he responded, "Oh, I didn't know that George Burns and Fred Allen had a television show!"

I was flabbergasted that he'd heard of radio comedian Fred Allen -- but not of Burns's wife and partner, Gracie Allen!

Sam Cooke and Harry Belafonte -- what gorgeous voices!

Huh, so interesting how the poll changes!

Re: MEMBERS POLL: What's your age?

I prefer the Pirates of the Caribbean and Chocolat Johnny the the 21 Jump Street version. What can I say, I like my men roguish or intelligent, intense, and...eccentric. Yeah, that's what we'll call Moriarty: eccentric.

Re: MEMBERS POLL: What's your age?

Moriarty is "eccentric"? Well, understatement of the year!

I just realized Johnny Depp might have been my first obsession...

Re: MEMBERS POLL: What's your age?

There's a poll on the first page of this thread -- so you can report your own age (anonymously!) and then see the statistics so far.

Re: MEMBERS POLL: What's your age?

I was mainly just striking up conversation.

Re: MEMBERS POLL: What's your age?

I am 21.
I am happy to see that most of the people here are my age or even older, it shows me that I am not strange or childish for being obsessed with a tv show.

Um, I'm 63. What does age have to do with anything? I gave up trying not to be strange ages (decades!) ago!
