Don’t hit me, but I’m going to say early 40s, no more than 42

**Noone Special** had it right on the nose.

I’m just going to go cry, now. Serves me right for posting in this thread, I suppose.

No! not at all! But since I look younger than I am, so I figured if you \*look \* 30, you must \*be \* 40. 😃  
does that help?

I haven’t been through the entire thread yet, but I have to say that there are a lot of hawt female Dopers out there.

Priceguy, you’re so cute. But, I already liked you. 🙂 I know you’re younger than I thought you were so … 28?

I shall accept all the general compliments regarding hawt Doper women. Thank you! 😉

And to complete the smiley trifecta, I shall reveal my not-suprising age: 44. :eek: How did I get so old?

The dude looks nothing like I imagined. The Star Trek toys and the Buddy Christ, yes. But looks, no.

Have you ever thrown on a long leather coat and a pair of fangs for Halloween?

I shouldn’t do it, because I’ve run into too much trouble with Ellen’s in this thread, but I’ll “Price Is Right” her out of contention and say 29.

Actually, the Picard and Buddy Christ belong to the friend who took the picture, which he did on the condition that they be included.

Don’t celebrate Halloween in my neck of the woods, but I did once go to a fancy dress party as a shadow. Will have to see if I can rustle up the pics; it was the coolest constume ever.

You’re both guessing way higher than the people who keep carding me.

**MCUNE** – I know your age. You’re cute though 🙂  
**Queen Bruin** – I think I forgot to guess you earlier? 28.  
**Priceguy** – another guess of 28.  
**Moonstarsun** – early 30’s.

And all 4 of you are very good looking (even if, AFAIAC, **Priceguy** ’s looks are only of academic interest :p)

**Creaky** , I just went back and saw what your real age is. All I have to say is “wow!” 🙂

You keep telling yourself that. But you know you’ll be thinking about me.

Well, let’s rattle of some guesses. I don’t think any of the following have revealed their ages yet:

**Robot Arm** : 32.  
**Hal Briston** : 41.  
**Drain Bead** : 27.  
**DrCube** : 23.  
**Most Creative User Name Ever** : 24.  
**moonstarssun** : Jeez. Somewhere between 19 and 35? Am I close?

On another note, **Q.E.D** actually looks somewhat like I imagined him. Rare, that.
