Hey, kid, \<sound of cartridges being loaded into clip\> you remember one of the things you pointed out in your kiddie thread? A certain item you aren’t old enough to buy, \<sound of clip being inserted into .45\> but that we in this thread are? Let me \<sound of slide being drawn back to feed a cartridge into the chamber\> refresh your memory…

I’m 36. I tried going into the “not young/not old” thread, and found it was infested with people in their 20s…including some who weren’t old enough to drink. If they aren’t young, then I must be an old fart.

So…who’s up for some Geritol?
