**anyrose** , I’m gonna guess 35. I’m horrible at guessing age, though, so if you’re younger please blame my poor age-judging abilities and don’t feel old. 🙂

And thanks for the youngster guesses on me folks! I’m 37. But I’m all over that 19-35 range that **PriceGuy** threw my way… Makes me feel less bad that it’s been close to a year since I was last carded.

[/QUOTE]  
Actually, you look almost **younger** than my guess… I was going to say “27” but then saw some kind of… maturity I guess in your picture and upped my guess a bit.  
Yes, that’s a compliment 🙂

You’re tricky, you know. I’m going to say 36, but you could easily be on either side of that.

You’re 37? Wow. I thought I pushed the upper limit quite a bit, but no random-number-generating polyhedra.

One tiny little thing: Could everyone stop BiCapitalizing my username? It’s kind of a pet peeve of mine.

I love all of you. I am 49. Don’t believe me? I remember missing my cartoons because of JFK’s funeral. I remember 2 digit postal city codes. I remember telephone exchanges that were words (Murray Hill 5, Hunter 7, etc), and no one had even dreamed of a touch tone phone.

**Eyebrows of Doom** , your eyebrows look perfectly innocuous. I’d guess 30-ish.

**Ender\_Will** , somewhere around 25.

I just realized I never posted my true age - and whoever said I looked 40 - bless you!

I’m 49. And y’all can eat in my kitchen anytime!

Oooh, vanity day came early this year 😃 I’m game, but I don’t suppose it will be difficult.

Here’s the [main picture](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/Kiwoama/aot.jpg).

(Also, **jlconsultants** , I’ll put you at roughly 25-28)

btw, please don’t tell your daughter some stupid dude thinks she looks as old as I guessed. This game is a combination of looks and mental math, so while she looks young I did some calculations due to the fact that she was a Maid of Honor and assumed she must have been somewhere close to the same age as you.

Nope, I’m dumb.

'Sok, **bbs2k** , although she’d be flattered. At least you didn’t guess I was **52** , like **GorillaMan** did. 😛

Well, you look young, but the “vanity day” comment probably means you’re older than you look. Still, without taking that into account: 24?

As for me, **anyrose** got it: I’m 30. So _why the flipping fucking frogheaded deity do I still get carded absolutely everywhere?_
