[Slappie 9]

Old is a mental thing, it has nothing to do with the number of candles on your birthday cake

I don't like the poll options I wouldn't even say 60 is old personally.

Most of the jokes around here, for a start.

I have to say tho' I'm not too bothered about my age (so I must be old) any more, cus I can't do anything about it.... Keep active and anoy young folks by repeating stuff and telling them how old you are and how you can't hear the words in the music these days.

The refrain from voting in the poll and post a comment as to what you think is "old"

That was simple.

Old is 10 years older than whatever I am-right now, old is 50

The secondary definition is old = Airtwardo

I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

well first we have to define 'old' as an adjective.
Which your poll is asking.
Second your poll is flawed b/c you've restricted the answers to a given set of numerical figures. Others have begun expounding on the mathmatical formulas they use to calculate old.
eg. current age plus x = old
so by definition "old" is now a figure you can never reach, but what if x is variable for the given "current age" so that the two are related? The you must determine that relationship.

I, OTOH, will never grow 'old' because im going to become a vampire and get me an AN-2 to fly me around the world.

Have a nice day.

Old is anyone older than me. For example, my sister is 8 minutes older than me. Therefore, she's an old lady.

Anyone younger than me is just a kid. I'm a day older than my paralegal, therefore, she's "just a kid."

You, therefore, are an old man.

Old is a frame of mind.I will be 40 in February.(Come to the Chopper Boogie.To be posted soon.)The only thing that has bothered me is my body trying to get me to slow down.I refuse and have made up my mind to get in better shape,loose some weight and keep on going.

And whatever you do, do NOT ask Spence if he's on the POPS record.

At least not till February.

When I ran into Kevin Seconds from 7 Seconds and he was missing all of his teeth and looked pretty old...but was riding a BMX bike with a yo yo spinning off a free hand I realized that damn it I am going to follow his advice and stay young until I die....

and yes they call me junky around the office...

I agree with Spence I'm going to make a concerted effort next year to work on my lack of shape.

BUT !! I could never give up my beer.

Im a big fan of:
"theres time enough for sleep when Im dead."
although, I dont have the staying power I used to have a few years ago.

but in reality, my friends back home, who i used to run around with, go to bars, get crazy, etc, 4-7 nights a week. now do nothing.
I talk about my life here in Atlanta and how were always on the go, and they respond "oh, no, we could never do anything like that. Its too much".
LAME!
the day I slow down, is the day I get old, and I and slowing down till Im dead.

Its all about calorie consumption. You have to burn more than you consume. Yea there are LOTS of other factors, but if you reduce your calorie intake and increase your calorie burn with exercise, you'll do good.

I just want to say that my mother just turned 63 and did her first tandem two months ago and a second last month! So 63 really isn't that old either!

or it's a 'frame of mind', old is 'your outlook on life', it's not old it's mature/experienced blah blah blah,,,,,etc.

B as in 'B', S as in 'S' - - - - B.S. It's a bunch of denial wrapped in pointless stereotypes and bad self image. "Oh, I ACT young" well, good for you, you are still 63.....

if people live to typically 90 and we want to define young, middle and old, then it's simple

0-30 is young
30-60 is middle age
60-+++ is old

it's just relative reference for something directly measurable. What's the big deal?

I think people put way too much into stereotypes of what is called 'old'. A person can act any way they want when they hit 40, ..... (or 60, or 80)

they are still 40

And according to Dr. Oz on Oprah today, if you lose weight, your penis will get bigger!

From Oprah's website:

And, losing weight improves the sex lives of men in another way. "If you lose 35 pounds, if you're a male, you are gaining one inch of penis length," he says. Often when a man is carrying a lot of extra weight, Dr. Oz says a fat bundle builds up and starts to surround the shaft. As a man drops the weight, that fat starts to recede.
