In that other thread, Graniteguy admits that he's counting 6-month periods, not years.

But wait, Graniteguy! That's not all! Order now and you'll receive your very own Custom User Title.

Some suggestions:

"Settle down, sonny"

"I'm wearing shoes made before your daddy was born"

"Try and catch me"

"Anyone under 85 is a kid to me"

BTW, you guys may think I'm kidding, but there is actually a permission setting for users: "Exempt from all moderation"

If Graniteguys wants this, he gets it.

This means, among other things: He cannot be placed on moderated status and his posts will never get caught by the moderation queue because of using a trigger word in his posts and he cannot be banned or have his posting rights revoked unless I frst revoke this permission.

I am among the oldest. Almost 95 WW II , Korea, RVN, survivor. And I am the kid who attended 75th reunion of Grand Army of the Republic at Gettsyburg in 1938.

Here’s your answer, I think. Graniteguy reports that he’s 106 years old:

I think that he states that he is 106 half-years, i.e. 53 full years.

Great. That's just great. This is not at all confusing is it?

Beautiful. I can't get enough of stuff like this. What a funny joke. Hilarious. He should give lessons on being funny. I love rolling out the red carpet only to be made a fool of. Perfect.

Sorry - didn't mean to make a fool of anyone.

I thought the 6-month increment piece was the hint.

No more jokes from me this week.

I know you meant no harm. I would say, though, don't quit your day job. A comedy gig won't pay the bills for you.

Y'know, Graniteguy, you do qualify for a CUT, since you registered here more than ten years ago. Please feel free to choose one, if you wish.
