I hope the Flames can win a cup while some of you are still with us.

I'll say I expected more than 2 posters under 25..

What a weird take, Pepsi. Someone pee on your avocado toast this morning?
I am indeed much younger than you. But I'm told that I'm 'old in spirit.'

I think that I'm merely 'wise beyond my years.'

Now...about my lawn....

Or they just don’t visit off topic.

The advanced stats say 1300+ members have visited the forum today. 300 votes.

Ha! No you dont! There are people on this board I went to High School with!

Seriously though, there are many people on CP that know me in real life.

Do they help you cross the street with your walker or are you still dependent on the kindness of strangers for that?

11347474. I haven't thought of that in 15 years, but, blamo, there it is. And yet I can't remember if I closed the garage door 20 seconds after I drive off.

That’s because you haven’t had a garage long enough, took you too long to build it!

I was all on the bash Fuzz for the garage-build that never ends train.

However, knowing he is 60 I am just really proud of the old goat. Imagine building a garage with a catheter. Push the walker, grab a tool, push the walker, forget why you have the tool. Push the walker, put the tool back, push the walker, remember why you needed the tool.

Man. Good on you ol' feller!

I turned to vinyl mainly because of its inconvenience and high cost.

Yeah right Locke, high schools probably weren’t even invented yet way back when you were a teenager.

Story of my life.

I started when I was 18. You have no idea how many people didnt trust a 'young tax accountant.'

And then all you hear about is 'its so nice to have an accountant that I'll work with all my life.'

Remember that time you worked at Wendy's? And now you have your own plumbing business? Kinda nice that you got to keep the same accountant all that time...

I think there are five people you need to cultivate a closer relationship as you get older...your doctor, your accountant, your lawyer, your investment advisor, and your priest or minister.

I'm too young to remember when the Flames came to Calgary, but old enough to remember the cup win!

So basically if I read these ages correctly...all of us that partied on the red mile tried to keep the party going on CP for the last 16 years?

I think it's a really interesting age distribution that is likely driven by a lack of decent forum options in the late 90s and early 2000s. The core group of contributors has been together for a long time and it seems like a lot of those that contribute regularly stick. I wonder if the lower age demographics are on alternative websites or are taking to other social media entirely. I wonder if Twitter was around when I was a teen if I would have hashtagged and commented the Fleury's, Iginla's and Todd Simpsons of the world...
