> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by BlackKnight \* > \*\*Anyway, thank you very much dantheman. That really was a very sweet thing to say. And if you get more than enough young girls swooning over you because of your kind words in this thread (I know, I know, there’s never more than enough …) just send a few my way, alright? 😉 > > \*\* Tell you what, **BlackKnight**. I’ll send all of 'em your way - you just be sure to send their moms **MY** way, ok? I need someone who can cook… \ ---

Hmm…where are you guys that must be 21 to (legally) buy or drink alcohol? Here we can when we reach 18. No, I wouldn’t buy you any drinks. ---

Good thread, by the way, and I’d say thank you, but I don’t think you were talking about me.) \*\* Oh, you can say thank you all you want. I talk about _everyone_. And the ones I don’t talk about, I think about. And the ones I don’t think about, think about me instead. And the ones who don’t think about me… well, we call them the fortunate ones. Remind me to someday tell you whippersnappers about this big ol’ horkin party I gave about 12 years ago. It was so famed that it’s mentioned even now, in reverent terms. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by KarlGrenze \* > \*\*[off topic] > **Jester** …when you first welcome me to the SDMB, I thought you were an adult. Turns out you’re a baby!! Compared to me, of course, I’m just 18. Well, at least I didn’t guess wrong in the gender part. Eh…you are a male right? Well, that is all for now. > > [/off topic] \*\* Yes, you got the gender correct. Strange, though, I thought that _you_ were older than 18. Funny how these things work out. And the 21 year old drinking age is present in the good ol’ USA. I’d probably be angry about it, but I don’t drink, so it’s no problem. ---

However, it’s no biggie, I obstain from alcohol currently, or at least until I’m 21. ---
