I **hate** these threads. Why? you ask. (_muttering among the TM_: Who asked? I didn’t hear anybody ask?) Because every time I read one, my mental picture of somebody I consider a worthy adversary in GD or wise poster elsewhere has to be repainted. The first one of those was when I had to move my mental picture of **Jester** from his early 40’s to something like 17. There have been several since. This thread gave me two: I figured **Blalron** for a college senior or fairly recent graduate in his early 20s. And I realized **Aslan2** was young, but 14? Give me a break – I have _posts_ older than that! 🙂 Kudos to the vast majority of you for being mature and wise beyond your years! ---

Oh, I love 'em. I like to picture the faces of those GD denizens who’ve been debating for decades, who were alive for Iran Contra (and remember it) and have more memory of JFK than just videotapes. Then one of us comes into a thread and stymies 'em. :D:D:D:D:D ---

“Then one of us comes into a thread and stymies 'em.” Stymie? Stymie you say? Bah! I don’t remember ever being stymied in one of these threads! In fact, I can’t seem to remember much at all lately. I do remember that young Kennedy feller you mentioned. There was something else I was gonna’ say, but it slipped my mind… There was something else I was gonna’ type, but I can’t seem to find the mouse. The computer’s mouse, ya’ know. It’s an optical mouse. If an optical mouse gets loose in your house Must an audio cat leap out of the hat… Ehh, later, Dudes and Dudettes [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/teenage-dopers/177678.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/teenage-dopers/177678.md?page=9)
