Without Pirate Scum, I don't see the late 50s too well represented anymore besides grumbler;

Pretty sure Pirate Scum was born in the 20th century.  :P

I'm impressed - you remembered my birthdate!  :lol:

You and saskganesh and Grallon are all peas in a '67 pod, ain't you?  PeeDee's a '66er; I know we had Camper representing '64, and I think mongers is as well; and Yi from '63.  The mid-60's birthed a lot of solid posters, I'd say. :)  And then we jump a couple of years to the big wave of posters born in the early-to-mid 70s, probably the definitive age cohort for the site.  A light sprinkling through the late 70s but then another concentration in the early-mid 80s, I think.  Without Pirate Scum, I don't see the late 50s too well represented anymore besides grumbler; and we've all got to pay tribute to the active member who, the metaphysical grumbler aside, is truly our eldest -- KRonn, whose birth in '52 actually managed to get him conscripted during the Vietnam-era draft.

Wait, Yi was born in 1963?  I thought he was only 45.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yes, I overlooked Richard representing the class of '56 and Paul Atreides (RIP?) representing '59, if memory serves.

Listening to the new Opeth album, "Pale Communion". It's, shall we say, a bit of a break from their death metal roots. Actually, it sounds a lot like a 70s prog rock piece (not that that's a bad ... just not expected).
