Working with limited information, the average age of this board seems to be roughly 27.1 years.

Basically, I took the top 30 posters by post-count and wrote down the claimed ages of the 22 of them that claimed ages and... added 'em up and divided by 22. It's a pretty crude figure, considering that I only took 0.5% of the population, that only 70% of those people stated an age and probably one or two of those ages are misstated for comic effect but...

Considering how little reliable data is available, it's probably a fairly useful estimation.

Especially when you take into account that of that range, 27 occured four times and 28 occured three times. Making 27 the... mode, if I remember my small-times mathematics lessons. 27 is also the median age, to further dork out.

If the mean is 27.1 and the median and mode are also 27, it's probably decent gauge... especially when you consider that, for all the other limitations, I was starting with the most frequent users of this device.

Good Lord, I am a dork.

It's nice to be above average!

Also: can to Victoria. I'd like to give you many more but I can't stay awake another hour and of course at my age I will have forgotten all about it by tomorrow.

Whereas, we are talking about the only time I've ever been average in my life.

Hey, look at that. I never knew you could reorder the members list by post count.

I wonder how much it skews your figures that the two oldest posters in the top ten don't list their age. I don't know enough about statistics to have a sense of it.

[littlefallsmets]

When we're talking about a sample of 22 people, if both of those added people were around twenty years more than the average I threw together, it'd probably bump the average to around 29 and... put me a little below average again.

At pretty much everything, I'm either a little below average or way above. It would fit!

Pretty much.

Yesterday I bought a huge bottle of Orangina. I was like, why not? I know it's delicious and I'll probably enjoy drinking a lot of it, so here we go, I thought to myself. But let me back up a bit. It was 7:30 pm or so (referring to the time of day it was), and I stepped up to the doors of the Mississippi Market on the southwest corner of Selby and Dale. Now, entering the building was a story unto itself, which I will now tell.

• There were like six different ways to get into that building, two different sets of doors on three faces of the building--south, west, and north. Into the bargain was that the building was shared with a neighborhood association and you weren't sure which door would take you into which establishment.

But let me set the scene. I lifted a shopping basket out of the stack of interlocked shopping baskets. I pulled the handles up from their rest position and holding them in near proximity I was able to elevate the basket by putting them in the same hand (left!) and using same to provide an opposing force to G pulling downward. This had the added benefit of my being able to put the items I was interested in purchasing into the basket. Each item would increase the downward force on my hand, but I increased the opposing force at every turn, and the basket was not able to quit my hand.

To be honest, the rest of the experience was a blur - song 2

Hey, where did your stilted vaguely-suggesting-English-as-your-second-language diction go?

Conveniently discarded. Poorly played, hound, poorly played.

Oh, man. Oh. Man.

If I only Knew Photoshop and could reply with a neon sign that said "Leapin' Lizards".

Oh. Man. This is what I get for havin' a degree in screenwriting.

This and the constant fears of financial collapse, of course.

[Limmo]

Oh, so that's what brought you out here.
