How old are you Pentaxians?

How old are you all? I am 22 and turning 23 in 2 months. I am wondering because everybody on this forum SEEMS VERY MATURE. It's almost scary, I go on 3 other different forums and there is a lot of "trolls" if you guys know what that means. The other forums are video gaming, music, and the last is also photography but non-brand specified. This forum has a lot of serious-type of talking rather than "stupid". I am starting to think that I chose the wrong brand to start off with a bunch of oldies! Just kidding on that part, I love Pentax. The video gaming one has ages ranging from 12-40 and the age group is very well distributed, however the oldies there act like children at times. The music forum I go to have mostly ages 18-28 however some people there are also childish. The non-branded forum I go to is unknown but it's more mature than the other 2 but not as much as this; Possibly due to fanboy trolls going on another branded section to simply, troll.

I believe the proper term for most of the posters here is "Old As Dirt" "Older Than Dirt"

Fixed...

Feh! I invented dirt! I may be 70 but I'm still working on the "mature" thing.

Looks like you hate 16 year olds because you totally skipped that option.

Anyway, I think I claimed your spot for the youngest...

Not quite as old as dadipentak. But as the saying goes " I may grow old, but I'll NEVER grow up ".

My sister got this quote on her instagr.am, "You can't be old and wise if you aren't young and crazy." I am guessing most Pentax shooters here were really crazy when they were young =P

I definitely believe that we at heart never grow up, we only learn how to act in public. I also believe that acting our age is highly overrated

Seriously age is just a number. My body behaves like its 90 so I plan to get as much out of life as I can and who cares what anyone else thinks!

I resent that. I DID NOT entice the hen mallard I bought in that bar in Kingston, Ontario, to drink half a glass of vodka and smuggle it back to the dorm by train to London after the Alumni game between Western and Queen's Universities, forty-five years ago! The duck snuck the booze when I wasn't looking and it was too impaired to walk home so I opted to become her designated care-giver.

My sister-in-law has a friend in WA (the Australian one) whose motto is "Adventure before Dementia". I think that's one-up on the motto of the Ulysses Motorcycle Club, "Growing Old Disgracefully", which used to be benchmark in politely snubbing your nose at convention.

In this time zone they're probably swinging between trying not to wake up and overcoming a bad case of CBA!
