How old are you?

[ayahav]

I'm 17.... how old are you peeps?

[L.K.]

17 too.  

[schnabels_grandson]

Also 17.

[squinchy]

Add all three of your ages up, add the digits of the sum, multiply by two, add the thousands digit of the year you were born in to the product, and there you go.

Edited for clarity verbal accuracy (which seems to be in high demand).

[schnabels_grandson]

13?  you're 13?

[Legato]

i am 30 years, 3 weeks, 3 days, 1 hour and 54 minutes old

[ayahav]

Add all three of your ages up, add the digits of the product, multiply by two, add the thousands digit of the year you were born in from the product, and there you go.

Just because I feel like being picky:

1. When one adds up numbers, one reaches a sum - NOT a product. Therefore, the sum of the three ages is 51.

2. If you add the digits of the SUM, you get 6. Two times six is 12.

3. I'm not sure I can even comprehend this instruction. How do you add something from something? Maybe you mean add to? Then we get 13...

.... just a note: I doubt a thirteen year old would have written these instructions.

i thank you muchly for giving me this easy opportunity to boost my post count  

[ayahav]

you're welcome....


my last milestone was 100... what's the next milestone for four stars?

[bernhard]

250.

[comme_le_vent]

250.

cool, knowing your age helps quantify the breadth of your wisdom. among other things

Er...

Actually, 250 is not my age.

It is an answer to ayahav question just above, about the next milestone leading to four stars.

I can never remember my age because it keeps changing

[ayahav]

Actually, I resent that idea. There are many old people who are utterly stupid, and lots of bright youngsters. Yes, there does exist a less than usual trend about maturing and wisening with age, and yet it not a rule.

[ayahav]

one's age tells not much about them, except for what kind of plans they might have for the future. A 60 year-old man might not have any college audition plans, whereas a 17 year-old probably will... It helps knowing who to talk to and on what matters...

[squinchy]

13?  you're 13?

Eh..uh.. Is that a problem?

I read in Imagine, a magazine from CTY _{www.cty.jhu.edu} that music is potent and that one should make efforts to immerse themselves in it. Since I'm unaware of any places where people discuss music in real life, I've come here.

.... just a note: I doubt a thirteen year old would have written these instructions.

Are you saying that my poor usage makes me seem younger? Or that my instructions somehow make me seem older? Or do you simply doubt that I'm actually thirteen?

I'll just..go away..

[ayahav]

no - don't get me wrong.... the instructions make you seem older...

[Shagdac]

I WAS going to post my age....but after seeing how "young" everyone is....decided I didn't want to be the oldest!

Squinchy, you're also 13?

[donjuan]

This is funny this site is made for "Professional Concert Pianists and University Professors".  Most of us are all High School Students, with the exception of Bernhard- who probably is a Music Professor- who walks around smoking a Pipe, wearing fuzzy sweater vests, and finding everything terribly interesting...

I walk around smoking a cigarette, wearing fuzzy slippers, and find everything "terribly amusing"!!!

You sound like like a low income slob hopped up on crack or something...finding everything terribly amusing, smoking a cigarette...You sound determined to get lung cancer.
anyone here other than Shagdac smoke?
I dont, i think it's disgusting...
donjuan

[schnabels_grandson]

Calm down donjuan, by the time Shag gets lung cancer, there'll be a cure.  

[squinchy]

Squinchy, you're also 13?

What exactly do you mean by "also?"

I don't smoke, but I don't mind people smoking as long as they don't exhale...

[ayahav]

I absolutely agree.... If you ever need to identify me, I'm the guy who sits and watches everyone get drunk while staying sober himself, so he can tell them what amusing things they did (and sometimes exaggerate them - but hell, they can't remember... ). I also don't smoke or smoke up... Whoever doesn't understand the difference between smoke and smoke up must be too old to understand it... have your children explain it to you...

im a teenager and I don't know what "smoke up" means.  can you explain?
donjuan

[ayahav]

smoke up refers to smoking weed rather than smoking cigarettes.

[Shagdac]

My goodness DonJuan....don't take everything so literally. I only wrote...."that I walk around smoking a cigarette, in fuzzy slippers, finding everything terribly amusing" because of the reference made about "Bernhard" in your post above it! First...I don't smoke, second...I wouldn't wear a pair of fuzzy slippers if someone paid me, but yeah, guess I usually do find things amusing, that's true.

And as much as I wish I was again, I definately am not a high school student! So don't anyone worry about me getting lung cancer. And just for the record...I've NEVER "smoked up" either....(but I knew what it was)
heehee

[rlefebvr]

Now that is funny for someone who is not supposed to be funny. I think I will use that one.

[donjuan]

What do you mean "not supposed to be funny"?  Bernhard is a comic genius- sort of like comme_le_vent with less masturbation jokes ..
donjuan  

[Shagdac]

I agree with DonJuan. Bernhard has a wonderful sense of humor in a "classy" way.....I don't know if I would compare him to Comme....sort of reminds me of
"Frasier" (yes, from the TV show)...anyway, that's the way I picture him, very philisophical, very brilliant!

[faulty_damper]

I'll get us back on topic.  22 years old according to Western age philosophy of accounting.  23 by the Eastern standard of age acrued.

[Shagdac]

Too old...........by ANY philosophy of counting!

[Tash]

hahaha this is the most hilarious thread i've ever encountered! ROFL

otherwise i'm 18 and feeling a bit 'old' here at the fact that i'm out of high school but then again i  get the impression that that's nothing compared to others...

Thanks guys, I am touched… (Frasier? Er.. actually I look more like Brad Pitt)
And my wife thinks the same as you: she always calls me a clown…

Best wishes,
Bernhard.

It's from an a previous thread that was not so enthusiastic about Bernards comments.

The joke was just meant for him, although he may not remember the thread.

Look at the penultimate post in this thread:

But then, later on Minsmusic changed her mind and decided I was funny after all.

Best wishes,
Bernhard.

Oh, OK, well everyone here knows you are funny too

I am 17 5/6 years old.

I do not smoke.  I spend my time either going to school, practicing piano, studying, researching, or sleeping (though not much).  I like to flame novices in my spare time.

Shout out to y'all homefries that are 17 yrs old!
