The new General Manager of the Chicago Bears is 37 years old. I'm 38.

Similar to Shodan:

I was bummed when the ladies in Playboy and other gentleman’s magazines were younger than me.

Worse when they are the same age as my daughter…:eek::eek::eek::smack::smack::smack:

You old meany! You won’t get kicked off the lawn where that punk kid lives; at least Omar Gonzalez didn’t. :o

Which is ironic cuz usually after 69 the only one with breathing room is Bill

(thank you!!)

Give that man a cigar! :wink:

No, I’d say you’re old when there are younger guys than you in the “Old Timers’ Day Game.”

Interesting thing about U.S. Presidents’ ages: every President from Kennedy to Bush the Elder was born between 1908 and 1924. (Bush and Carter, the only two left of that group, were both born in 1924.) So Presidents were of the same generation for a pretty long time. And they were all way older than pretty much everybody currently active on this board.

Then Clinton and GW Bush were both born in 1946, then Obama was born in 1961. So in the 16+(epsilon) years between Bush Sr.'s last half-day in office, and the day Obama was inaugurated, the age of the President decreased by 37 years.

Obama is not just younger than me; he’s younger than my kid sister, who’s 6 years younger than me.

Old woman!

Oh yeah, a note to Shodan especially: having gotten into parenthood somewhat on the late side, I’m older than some of the grandmothers of my son’s classmates.

It’s really multiple stages for the skin mag/flick aficionado:

(a) You first notice the Playmate/Pet/pornstar is just younger than you; usually no BFD really.

(b) You first notice an age difference such that it means you were already out of college while she still had not made it to High School. That begins bumming you out.

(c) You first notice one born after you could already legally buy the material, i.e. you are over 18 years her senior. That is an an “egads” moment.

(d) You first notice one the same age as your daughter(s), if you have them; that one must make you *really *uncomfortable. (No known daughters myself, no personal experience of what it feels like and boy am I glad…)

(c) and (d) sometimes overlap.

To be more precise, he was hired to be GM of the Red Sox in 2002, when he was 28, and won the WS when he was 30. He’s actually the president of the Chicago Cubs, not the GM, but it doesn’t really damage your point because the GM, Jed Hoyer, is only 22 days older than him.
