I gotta agree with Dana here. This thread is just cow manure. I'm putting this thread on my mental ignore list.

But don't you know, it's always the nice ones! If glatt ever does have a breakdown, it's going to be spectacularly big.

Was that for your annual reunion in Trinidad, Colorado?

glatt 06-29-2012 07:56 AM

You can't prove anything.

BrianR 06-29-2012 12:00 PM

The reunion has been moved to San Jose, CA.

Just sayin'

Sundae 06-29-2012 12:01 PM

But do you know the way?

And now for something completely different ...
 
It's my birthday and once again I'm announcing it in a non-birthday related thread to make it a tad harder to find previous years' guesses. That's right, you get to guess my age and if you get it right I'll fess up. One guess per person, sockpuppets ineligible, no proxy guesses (i.e. lurkers must register to guess), and no hints will be given. Guessing ends at midnight tonight Cellar time. If you guess wrong, I'll refer to you with pronouns opposite the gender you self identify with for the rest of the month [today and tomorrow :)]. Good luck.

jimhelm 06-29-2012 02:05 PM

29


It's also my Sister's and my Daughter's birthday today! (2 separate people)

infinite monkey 06-29-2012 02:05 PM

c'mon people. don't let this sexobonoboxes person of indeterminate gender win 3 years in a row! If we ALL guess, our chances are good. You gotta figure at least 25, just because this is not an idiot.... and most likely less than 70. the median age around here seems to be about 38-40. I wish I had thought about it a little before blurting my guess out.

I think people don't guess because then there would be nothing to look forward to next June 29th.

Undertoad 06-29-2012 02:15 PM

Happy 50th noboxen

sexobon 06-29-2012 02:22 PM

@jimhelm - better luck next year lady
@infinite monkey - nice try fella

infinite monkey 06-29-2012 02:39 PM

I always picture you as a genteel southern belle, older but sharp as a whip.

glatt 06-29-2012 02:39 PM

sexobon holds his cards close to his chest, but he alluded to an interesting military career a while ago, so I would guess that he's on the older side. W ith more experience under his belt. Sexobon, you're 56.

sexobon 06-29-2012 03:15 PM

So don't go guessing 69 next year, peeps.

sexobon 06-29-2012 03:43 PM

@DanaC - Oh no, Dani boy

infinite monkey 06-29-2012 03:45 PM

I should've stayed with my first guess. Who knew we'd be getting a fancy schmancy up to date listing?

footfootfoot 06-29-2012 03:46 PM

I'll guess 52, not "50 as well."

BigV 06-29-2012 04:02 PM

My guess:

45 years old this year. Happy birthday regardless. :)

sexobon 06-29-2012 04:09 PM

@footfootfoot - Off on the wrong foot, tootsie.
@BigV - A feminine pronoun would be superfluous, we all know what the V stands for

:D

You might call me a "squatter" and you'd be right. But only insofar (lol me I said insofar) as I am a non owner occupier.

On a different note, you are a very funny man and I appreciate your razor wit.

Clodfobble 06-29-2012 06:51 PM

I'm going with 54.

sexobon 06-29-2012 07:18 PM

@Clodfobble - dude, no way

Stormieweather 06-29-2012 08:19 PM

62

And Happy Birthday!

orthodoc 06-29-2012 08:37 PM

I'll say 48.

sexobon 06-29-2012 09:25 PM

@Stormieweather - Don't know why, you're a no go guy ...
@orthodoc - Doctor, doctor, Mr. MD, that's not in my history

orthodoc 06-29-2012 09:30 PM

Crap. I bet you're in your 30s. Too late for me, somebody else try before midnight ...

And Happy Birthday sexobon, however old you are! May you always be well stocked with good friends and good wine.

monster 06-29-2012 09:49 PM

midnight where?

53

sexobon 06-29-2012 10:14 PM

@monster - you da man, da wrong man

[Cellar time: "All times are GMT -5. The time now is --:-- -M."]

monster 06-29-2012 10:25 PM

I OMG I win! first thing I ever won!!!!!!!!

sexobon 06-29-2012 10:40 PM

The masculine pronouns I used should be a hint to the others that the guessing is still open.

orthodoc 06-29-2012 11:08 PM

Guessing is now closed .... are you going to 'fess up? Or leave us in painful suspense???

sexobon 06-29-2012 11:20 PM

Thank you all for playing WTFAGERFN. Unfortunately, there was still no winner in this 3rd iteration.

Remember, you can play the same numbers again next year (recommended only if you believe your guess was high, duh).

This has been an unorthodox interruption. We now return you to your typical thread drift.

If I played by those rules, I wouldn't have to fess up to my chronological age, just to the age I self identify with (which could change at anytime). ;)

footfootfoot 06-30-2012 09:15 AM

So these are the ages he's not, as of 2012. we need a more cohesive strategy if he is going to play again next year.

Compare and contrast:

If I'd had a point, I'd have made it.

You'll note the subtitle on my post.

Knob.

BigV 09-05-2012 05:02 PM

I think the judge made a good decision, including the parts of the decision to be made by others with greater knowledge of such specifics like where and when to schedule the surgery and where to imprison him after the surgery.

xoxoxoBruce 09-06-2012 04:32 AM

I think they should have executed him after he murdered his wife, and saved a whole lot of money and bullshit.

henry quirk 09-06-2012 08:47 AM

"executed him"
 
Woulda been a good place to start, yeah.

BigV 09-06-2012 09:56 AM

the story says very little about the circumstances of his trial, except that he murdered his wife. do you believe all murderers deserve to be executed?

BrianR 09-06-2012 10:40 AM

My Googling skilz are not good enough to uncover the original news and trial.

Anyone in MA? Can you look in the news archives and see?

henry quirk 09-06-2012 11:45 AM

"do you believe all murderers deserve to be executed?"
 
No more than you believe all murderers deserve to be set free (or locked away for a lifetime).

Irrelevant in any event.

The piece is about one guy who killed, not all folks who killed.

I assume (perhaps wrongly) his jail time is justified...I also assume (perhaps wrongly) that he might deserve a bullet in the head.

So sue me.

*shrug*

infinite monkey 09-06-2012 11:56 AM

Maybe he killed her in a really sweet way. Lovingly strangled her? Caressed her to ribbons? Smothered her with the finest french silk pillows?

BigV 09-06-2012 12:21 PM

then why did you say executing him would have been a good place to start?

henry quirk 09-06-2012 12:36 PM

"then why did you say executing him would have been a good place to start?"
 
As I said: I made an assumption (perhaps right, perhaps wrong).

Again: sue me.

Go take it up with Bruce if you're lookin' for a tussle.

Me: not interested.

Cyber Wolf 09-06-2012 12:42 PM

Did I miss somewhere that details why sex change surgery is medically necessary for this guy? And when I mean medically necessary, I mean necessary like a stint for a blocked artery or skin grafts for a severe burn or neonatal care for a baby and/or mother with really bad timing?

How does not changing him keep him in bad health? And if it's mental health they're talking about, don't they have head docs for that?
