Our oldest Datalounger

[quote] I was surprised to see a number of posters in their seventies.

If you think about it - 15 years ago they'd have been in their 50s, not so old for DL and they probably just stuck around.

If Cackle Cackle is still alive and posting here, he’s definitely in his late 70s/early 80s

I thought we determined that Cackle Cackle died some number of years ago.

I'm sure there was someone here who said he'd seen Gone With The Wind at the cinema in 1939 as a teenager!

Prince Philipp is 99. Pretty sure he posts here.

Joan Rivers still gets a funny one liner on DL, not sure how she does it though.

Oh, dear.

[quote]I'm sure there was someone here who said he'd seen Gone With The Wind at the cinema in 1939 as a teenager!

There was a weirdo who'd say things like he was 45 in 1963

Sorry, R7, I meant "Prinz Philipp".

I'm 65 but look 32, and still have that exuberance to win beauty queen contests at festival parades celebrating agricultural produce. 🍑 🍉 🍐 🍇 🍎 🍤 🐟 🌽

I think we have a few in their early 70s.

Sorry, OP. I simply can't help you here.

I'm still an ingenue!

Yes indeed, R11.

Currently threescore and ten.

I like to tell people I’m 39, but I not only saw GWTW on opening night, but I even got my senior discount.

Vivien Leigh was supposed to make a surprise appearance at the theater that night, but the studio sent a couple of the Munchkins by mistake.

Here at Shangri-Lounge no one is over 39.

Erna was Judy Garland’s stand-in during filming of Wizard of Oz. He also went to kindergarten with Peggy Lee in Culver City.

Good for you, BAG! I hope I have the fortitude -- and the wits -- to still be around here at 70.

R15 Hope you enjoyed the show!

666

Erna must be at least 102

I'm 39.

When I first came here in 2016 there was a poster who claimed to have been retired since 1980, so if he's still with us he must be ancient.

What?

BronzeAge is such a kid. I"m pushing Four Score.

President Biden was born five days before me.

Olivia de Havilland was the Scat Troll.

I babysat Luise Rainer.

I've always denied the legend that you were in 'Our American Cousin' the night Lincoln was shot.

There used to be a 100-year-old poster, or at least that is what he claimed. Haven't seen him around though..

r29, was he the one who said he'd retired in the 80s and worked with computers? I remember someone like that from last year.

R30, I think that might be the one!

I've been here from the very start.

I am the Ancient of Days

I’m 52 and have been on the DL since 2006 and I feel old

I'm 55 and have been on the DL since 2005 and have lost track of all time.

I'm 64. I think I've been on DL since 1996?

I anticipated my arrival at the DataLounge while I waited for the internet to be invented, as soon as Edison got the electrical wires up.

I was born before 9/11, I’m ancient.

R33 the Ancient of Gays

68. Up there, but not the seegar.

R38 so was I. I was too young to understand Wishbone, but I sure knew what Pepper Ann was.

@r41 my older brother loved wishbone but I don’t remember it. Not sure what pepper Ann is? But that’s so raven was high art back in 2004.

I was a flapper.

A beef curtain flapper?

[quote]I was a flapper.

Now it's just your gunt that flaps.

We used to have someone who would subtly mention in threads things like "I was only 3 when Archbishop Ferdinand was shot."

I wonder if there's anyone here who posted from Day One in 1995?

As an aside to this question: Do we have an "Honor Roll" of (decent) DL posters who have passed on; e.g., Op Brian (our artist), Pierre (our Christmas Moose), others?

What about Bill Taylor? He seemed a bit ancient. I'm laughing even now typing and recalling his Disney cruise rape.

I did a DL age poll a few years ago & someone said they were in their 90s...

They could still be alive.

Bill Taylor's mom, Ruth chimes now and then.

I'm Sully O'Mulley, I'm 60 and I like to quip, joke and screech. I'm 60!

72 here.

I remember someone talking about their younger brother turning, like 80 or something. It was wild.

I know it’s just a message board, but I can’t imagine my grandparents being so tech savvy as to post here. I’m mean if they were gay...and alive. 😭😭😭

Recent Erna sighting

When did Christmas Moose die? R48

R56 I believe December?

WHOOPS. R57 was supposed to be making fun of Erna. My apologies.

Not me!

I always wonder if David Ehrenstein still posts here. He's 74.

Would that be longest running subscriber or nearest to the grave? I'm still a baby here on the DL

R60 He flounced in protest of something or another ages ago.

I don't think he can type all that fast with only one hand. His other hand is clutching pearls in perpetuity.

Hissssss!

So are VOTN and 30, Fat and Friendless still around?

VOTN pops in once or twice a year, it seems.

I’ll be 77 in July. My folks lived to be 95, so I’m doing a countdown of sorts. Plan to stay on DL till the end. I enjoy this unique experience and don’t miss a day.

I forget, were Erna and Mrs Patrick Campbell the same person? I haven't been on as much as I used to and I'm trying to recall the usual suspect. White Belt Man?

R66 My hat is off to you!

[quote] were Erna and Mrs Patrick Campbell the same person?

Yes, the same fetid Nazi pedo shit eating whore indeed

64 but I look 39. Sort of.

I was just reviewing a thread (linked below; reply 17) in which Pierre signed himself as Xavier. They were the same poster?

I'm 60! I like to judge , kvetch and quip! I'm 60!

I'm 59 next month. I'm hoping to do a lot of living in this last year of my 50s

Cackle Cackle was in his 80s 10 years ago. He’s also dead.

I was born when there were only 48 states. But I feel like a spring chicken.

R56, Pierre died on Christmas.

My dad is 92.

I can get him to post if you want him to?

R1 in this thread:

A poster in the Covid vaccination thread is 86.

I'm 54 and you bitches make me feel so young!

I really wish that 100 year old guy would come back. He told interesting stories and didn't seem trollish. He was matter of fact about his age.

What about G/rumpy? Is he still around?

[quote]I was only 3 when Archbishop Ferdinand was shot.

Oh Dear

Posters over 70 always find a way to make you do math.

They also ALWAYS tell you, “Don’t go away empty handed” and then give you a bag of garbage to take out for them.

If you grammar Nazi’s are going to ‘oh dear’ everything, then the least you can do is correct the offender’s error so others can learn from it.

It’s Marmaduke Ferdinand.

OK, R84, its Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, whose assassination in Sarajevo essentially began WWI.

R34, being on DL ages you for 20 years, on average.

More or less been on DL for 15 years and I’m 58.

I’m 420 years old in dog years.

R76, did "Pierre" actually die, or was the identity attached to that name simply retired? (per the question at R71)

I ask because he apparently had socks.
