Exhausted, dear Widow. Worn out by dreams of moles and an (allegedly) excellent bottom.gamewidow said:
*laugh* And what would you do if I said no -- why, we might descend to bad puns, shaggy-dog stories and other atrocities. So, that'll be a yes, Simon. I wouldn't dream of getting in your way! *grin* Besides, game widow might have to stop running, were you to stop chasing her, and she needs the exercise.SimonBrooke said:Can I do the silly teasing and flirting? Please? Please! Can I?SimonBrooke said:Anyway, we can have semi-serious discussions about what it's like to be an older gamer, or we can have silly teasing and flirting, along with bad jokes. I know which I expect, but I figure either can be valuable.
Hello! Being almost 43 I guess I qualify for this grouping. What's even worse is people always have said I'm wise and old far beyond my years. I guess it's the dementia, deafness and aphasia that's fooling them. Been using computers since ages also. First teachers in basic CS were old relics that had experiences not only with mercury audio memories, relays and bulbs but the old fangled analog computers./Dan

Hard to beat! Closest would be being taught by pupils of Arne Beurling. Not very well known but he was a giant among Cryptologists. He broke the German Geheimfernschreiber by hand repeatedly. Enigma was a far easier cypher./DanSimonBrooke said:I've personally worked with two different people who worked with Alan Turing. Beat that!SimonBrooke said:Hello!

Ha! So much for my chances, now she's drooling all over his helmet!gamewidow said:
Hey, babe, I didn't mention your butt! I figured anybody who's on this board as much as you are had to do a lot of sitting, and that usually means that more exercise is called for. I was thinking of your cardiovascular health, though; you and your butt are on your own where I'm concerned.gamewidow said:
I'm sure you're plenty drool-worthy yourself; wait your turn, and no doubt she'll get to you.SimonBrooke said:
I guess there is something to be said for a man in uniform.Actually, any man who wears that thing all day (not me) deserves to have the ladies drooling over them. That thing is a neck breaker, it is so heavy. I just figured that as the Royal Woodsman, I could kill monsters and pay myself, thereby cutting out the middle man!SimonBrooke said:
Well, then, all of us here will look forward to wishing you a happy birthday two months from now.Wolfenschfung said:Two months left and I will be qualified to reply on this post
