    Kris was my lab partner until he stole my girlfriend... well I wanted her to be my girlfriend, but she didn't know that... anyway once she found out what a great guitar player Kris was she started following him around, so I tried to learn guitar too so I could impress her, but she didn't like my Don Rich, Roy Nichols and Luther Perkins impressions... :

    What exactly IS an "old fart"

    Does everyone start off as "young farts" and then turn into "old farts"? When, how does this happen?

    Is there a heirarchy of farts......"baby farts", "junior farts", "adolescent farts", "young adult farts", and then "old farts"?

    Are "old farts" the highest level of fartdom? Have I reached my plateau? Is there a fart nirvana?

    : :


    Ahhhhh.......I think the answers to my questions lie within.....

    Looks like I am part of the largest demographic in the voting so far.....

    I go along with Algonquin, "what hair?" I'm not bald yet, but it's a whole lot thinner than it used to be. And it's DEFINITELY a lot grayer.

    I'm glad we've got some kids like Kris who can actually communicate in an intelligent manner. Makes me feel good about our future. The former forum that a lot of us 'Burn fans came from is being overrun with kids who think they're on MySpace.

    As for the age thingie, 47 in July! If I could find a few guys around here who'd be willing to play, I'd like to start a band called the "Grumpy Old Farts". We'd play Southern, Classic and whatever other kinds we wanted. If we felt like it. Or if we could remember what it was we're supposed to play...

    They used to lie within, but have since been expressed .

    I'm sure there is a fart-free period somewhere in there, but it doesn't last long.

    I'm 47.
