Okay, so now I'm curious. Where are most people on our theoretical age spectrum? No need to respond, just vote.

Going in five-year blocks might be more appropriate for the poll, though.

True. But can I change it?

Possibly by editing your original post that created the thread? .... however, it probably won't let you alter the poll now without resetting the totals :(

Oh, and pardon my oversight: the first option really should be "Under 15." Otherwise some of you would be in a bit of a limbo.

Yeah, but when you get to be my age, it really doesn't matter either way. Why do I get the feeling I'm going to be very lonely in my position. Perhaps I can start an Anime Retirement Center where all of us older fans can watch the anime golden oldies to our hearts content.

Yeah, I think you're pretty much alone in your bracket. I added it with you in mind. Don't worry about it, I don't see any reason we should look down on you for being old.

On a side tangent, the Retirement Home near where I live gets Cartoon Network. Most of the residents there can't change the channel, so they watch whatever's on. One of these days, I'm going to walk past a bunch of old ladies watching DBZ, and it's going to be funny.

I wouldn't worry too much about them until you see them cosplaying. Thanks for the inclusion.

Yes, I'd worry about the cosplay.

I find it interesting that our teens bracket is, at this point, matched with our twenties bracket. I didn't realize we had that many here...

Woohoo! My age bracket is winning!!!

I'm actually not that surprised at the number of teenagers--I almost expected that number to be higher than the twenties. I'm not sure why I had that expectation--I think it's because anime or manga-related message boards or E-Mail lists I've been involved with in the past have had a majority of teenagers. I always felt kind of old...

It would be interesting to divide the twenties category up into 20-24 and 25-29 brackets. Then I'd guess we'd see more in the lower half--but maybe I'm just overestimating my age in relation to the general CAA populace.

LOVELY?!? That's not the work I would use. I would say, 'interesting.' A very wise man named Dana Walling once said in regard to a Work-And-Witness trip I was on, "Interesting is the word to use when you don't want to offend anyone. If you are served something like grubs or brains, don't say: That's Gross! Instead say, Wow, that's interesting! (and then don't eat it)."

Yeah, that was pretty much what my 21st birthday looked like too. *sigh* Noboby threw me a party... (not that I would want a *keg* party anyway -- yuck.) Nobody even took me out to a birthday dinner... Nobody loves me...

Oh wait, that was 6 years ago! Lots of people love me now. :hug:

You don't remember your 21st birthday? That's a *very* bad sign. :grin:

I think CB ended up at the bottom of several Long Island iced teas, as I recall. Jordan had a few beers, I think.
