Title: ...but a number
Post by: sjlimmer on January 21, 2004, 07:23:24 pm

The age poll, part the second.  The groupings are somewhat arbitrary, although they may reveal something about my expectations.  Or not.

There're more of us old fucks than I thought.  Break out the Metamucil!

I didn't know "26-35" was a target market, but okay.  I'll be grouped with folks in their mid-20s. ;)

Well, hang on.  Maybe all the young'uns on the West Coast just aren't out of bed to post yet.

Technically, I'm none of the above, but I answered assuming, y'know, that "under 20" meant "20 and under."

Cut me some slack...I'm sick.

EDIT: And apparently that makes me bitchy.  Apologies.

Well, like I said, the groupings were arbitrary, but frankly I expected more young 20-somethings, so I broke it up that way.  Looks like I am, in fact, out of touch.

Edited to say "20 and Under".

hmm, should have voted on this half of the poll first!

i guess a lot of people are immature on the internet, or i just haven't been paying attention very well.

Because I have nothing better to do on my day off, here are the similar polls that were on the Wigu messageboard. I think you have to be registered there to see the results.  The short answer about the comparison:  Old Codgers Prefer Achewood.

Yes, I guess I should add my mom to the list, if we're counting Achewood readers, and not just Achewood Forum readers. She'd tip the demographic slightly, and is currently the oldest person I know who reads it.
Unless Onstad's gran did keep reading.
Not that I know her.
That would be odd.

Oh and just regarding the topic title...
I AM NOT A NUMBER!

Don't get uppity, Number Six. That's the last thing we need right now.

He's number 5 (http://achewood.plagiarist.com/memberlist.php).

And I though the main target demo for advertisers was men 18–35 so the poll isn't that far off.

Who is Number Two?

jldunston is.  We should have known all along.

Well, yes, but Nabubrush isn't around, so I have to glare at somebody and demand espionage secrets, right?

Just a second, I'm gonna go get my mind-rape machines. Be back short-like.

But slink is, in one form at least, #2 indeed.

Glare at my tasteless beard and lack of ability to act, as well as the power I behold to frustrate and annoy.

But, no, what I'd give to be number 6. So close, yet so so far.

Bubbles?!?

all this talk of number 2 reminded me of a beavis & butthead where butthead dreamed he was capt. picard and said to beavis "number 1, i order you to go take a number 2!"
