ages of people on this forum?

[Argoscflguy]

one of those questions nobody ever likes to answer! lmao just wandering what are the ages of most of you argos fans?

[AngeloV]

You can't ask a question like that. Us older guys (soon to be 44) have a tough time with things like that.

1argoholic and I, are over forty. In fact, we are closer to fifty than we are to forty ... and the beauty of that true expression is, that it can be said, even when we get up into our sixties and beyond.

Mind you, we do not live together; we would drink ourselves (even more) silly.
He lives with his Wife, and I see my Girlfriend mostly on weekends.

Old enough to know better.......

To quote Bryan Adams "18 'til I die...."

And then my wife and kids remind me that I'm in my 40's and that it's time to grow up.........sigh....

[1argoholic]

50 in Oct. But people are very surprised so I guess I don't look it. I act 12. Have to admit this is hitting me more than I expected it would. How the hell am I going to turn 50. Like where did that time go? Plus I'm really down about living here and want to move back to Ontario.

[Nob]

1argoholic - I hear ya' caller. I too moved from Ontario to BC. Let's just say there's no place like home...... We too miss Ontario.

[1argoholic]

Nob where do you live? I can tell you that this Duncan/North Cowichan area has been a very hard nut to crack. People are strange and real flighty. We've decided to move to the Peterborough area in the next few years. I'll have to start my landscape company from scratch again and my wife is in bookkeeping but would like to become an accountant of some sort.
I just don't like so much about BC from the F'ed politics to the strange people. The attitude is so different.

[ticatfan]

40s during the day, 20s at night, 60s the next morning

[bluto]

been celebrating my 29th birthday for quite a few years now...

[Nob]

1argoholic - I'm in Maple Ridge. Agreed. This is one weird, somewhat f'd up place. In addition to being 3 hours behind in time zones they are so far behind I everything else. Plus the education system for the kids has been disappointing.

I miss Ontario. Fortunately I landed a terrific job with a fantastic company (which is what broughtme out here). I am greatly indebted to them. It is a strange fate, but the Ontario economy let me down when I needed it. London's unemployment spelled my end in the heartland.

[Deerkeeper]

Well I am 20. In fact I enjoy being 20 so much that I recently celebrated the 33rd anniversary of my 20th birthday.

[argofandave]

I've been 20 since 1978.

[1argoholic]

Nob you have got that right. Too many screwed up issues to mention them all. Behind the times is right. People out here wish they could go back to the days of no law. You can't tell anyone that backyard burning is something we did in the 60's in Mississauga. They burn it all out here. Beating women is a past time here. Drinking and driving is a sport. Hell they take underaged highschool kids into the woods to drink at grad time and then pick them up. What the hell is that! I'm an educated landscaper watching butchers get work because they are from here and got laid off from the mill. Tree topping is a dumb assed logging practice that guys do to landscape trees all through this valley. Basically like chopping off human fingers because your nails grow. Education was obviously not a big thing in this valley. Believe me I could go on and on. Now I'm depressed!! haha.
I do love Victoria but I can always visit there in the future.

what have i started? asking a bunch of crazy, over the top football fans, who crack open a cold one for breakfast, there AGE!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!! haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! im 35, but drinking beer, watching football, eating wings keeps me young! ( dont tell anyone its my secret)!

[1argoholic]

Are you sure your not Midnight Blue using another name?

[DanTheFan]

I turn 27 this year.

[jerrym]

I guess I'm the old geiser here at one month from 64 (Argos fan since '59 - I'm not telling you if that's 1959 or 1859).

[ArgoGabe22]

Are you sure your not Midnight Blue using another name?

I thought his secret of being young was some chamber from Star Trek.

[marcwagz]

I wonder if I'm actually the youngest guy here at a true 20

[ArgoGabe22]

^ i'm 19 Ha!

[1argoholic]

Oh to be young again. Enjoy your youth kids. hahaha. Actually I'm kidding. I might be pushing 50 but I act 12.

[ArgoZ]

I am 34 years old :snack:

[Midnight Blue]

The thing is, to never lose the fire of your youth.

Being Football fans, we're already a little nuts.

Staying a little crazy all the time, keeps you from going crazy.

However I'm more into a band like The Mahones who are also doing a gig there. When we move to that area I'll need a place that should have my type of music at least four or five times a year inbetween hitting TO.

It was a great time for music, partying, and life. It still is.

Iargoholic, that's hilarious!

Imagine the whole Skydome chanting:


"Meow, meow, meow, meow,

Meow, meow, meow, meow,

Meow, meow, meow, meow,

MEOW, MEOW, MEOW, MEOW !"



And hey, I hear ya when it comes to Punk Rock !

Although I'm mostly into the the Head Bangin', Kick-Ass Metal,

the Music has evolved to the point where there were and are, elements and influences

of all the genres, mixin' and groovin' and grokkin' off each other,

and bringing us new wicked tunes every day.


Rock will never die.

It's just that the Musicians, and Fans, will eventually run out of time. And Beer.

But new ones will take our place.


Cheers ! And, Ka' Pla !

Cloest I come to a metal band is Nashville Pussy. Will be seeing them and The Supersuckers rock a bar in Vic and the next might in Van in April. Check them out on youtube.
Nashville Pussy has a great line in one of their songs. "I'm gonna drive down to Cinncinati and kick the shit outa your drunk daddy."

[Midnight Blue]

I will definitely check out Nashville Pussy on You-Tube. And if you're up for a half-hour or so, I'm gonna try and find a video of AC/DC (1977), which to me is Punk. Now, either they're copying Punk, or just playing Punk, or just doin' their own thang, but it effin' Rocks! I'll try to find it (it has been deleted many times through the years, for copyright sensitivities, blah.).

Take it from me. And I'm a member of the Conservative Party of Canada.

OT :


1argoholic, and others who may or have not been following the life

of John (Ivan) Demjanjuk :


He died yesterday, March 17, 2012, in an elders home in Germany. He was 91.


Some believed he was a part of the Nazi, and/or German extermination machine in World War II (2).

Others thought he was just a Man trying to survive, and not starve to death.


The fact that evidence was hidden by prosecutors in his first, and second trial,

which may have proven him innocent, suggests that he was scape-goated,

to take the fall for Nazis, who have conveniently been avoided trial.


This is not the place to deliberate his guilt or innocence, but as a Ukrainian, and a Canadian

(I am both - equally), I must say that for me, March 17, no matter what year in the future,

will be a day to remember.



Midnight

[Midnight Blue]

Anyone interested in learning more about John Ivan Demjanjuk, can do an internet search of his name.

Peter Worthington, and Pat Buchanan have a lot to say.

As do many others.


The Man had most of his life taken away from him. He deserves a read.

And yes, many Jews and others were exterminated in WW2.

They deserve a read too.


Personally, I have always believed, that if Demjanjuk was some violent, heartless monster,

then he should HANG.


But if he was simply a prisoner, forced to work where he was sent,

then he was only a prisoner, forced to work where he was sent.


BTW, he was not convicted of any crime. It was only suggested, that he was probably there.



It was never proven. And even if he was there, he was a prisoner, and should not

be held responsible,

for the horror,

of the Nazi Regime.

Girlschool kicks!! If your anywhere near Oshawa Nashville Pussy and The Supersuckers are playing the there. I mentioned the name of the bar in another post. Something like the Aria or something like that. I love seeing bands at bars. Colose to the drinks, band and can. The only way to see live music. I'm not into the huge Arena or stadium stuff.

[argonaut11xx]

Those bands look like they might be worth the drive to Oshawa (The Atria is the name of the bar)

SWEET....

[1argoholic]

That is a classic. My buddy Fred used to play it over and friggin over in his car as we'd cruise around getting up to no good.

Supersuckers are GREAt live and this will be my first time seeing Nashville Pussy in April. I have one of their cd's that kicks.

I totally agree. Bars are the best places to see Bands. Just let me out onto the patio for an occasional smoke between sets (or at half-time, for Argo games). BTW, I hope you don't mind my spelling corrections of part of your post, but someone has to preserve civilization from Punk Rockers, and, unfortunately, it has come down to us Head Bangers. Who'd have thunk it? Cheers!

[Midnight Blue]

what ridiculous yet offensive band names :snack:


Yeah well, we all know what Punk Rockers are like....

They need to grab attention for themselves, with silly names,

so that people won't be distracted by their slavish devotion to lyrics, and precision

scales and chords. Not to mention harmonics. Or grammar and punktuation.

(Just kiddin'. Ha!)

[1argoholic]

Nashville Pussy has two chicks in the band so I don't know if that's where the name comes from. Got our Tics for April 11th in Victoria yesterday. We were there for three nights and I must say as much as I rip Duncan, Victoria is a KILLER little city. If you've never been it's worth a visit. Restaurants with great food everywhere and brew pubs, bars entertainment for everyone. KILLER TOWN!!! If your a single guy Vic is the place for you. Sweet ladies of all ages.

[ArgoRavi]

Hey, 1argoholic, while your Ukrainian and Belarus ancestry is certainly very hip, I also have some cool roots.
From the Western Ukraine, specifically the Carpathian Mountains, my ancestors are Hutsuls.

“They are Ukrainians, but a bit on the wild side.”

Hutsuls : http://www.wumag.kiev.ua/index2.php?param=pgs20052/70



Although I was born in Canada, here is some footage of a Hutsul Wedding.
While these are not necessarily my direct relatives (though you never know),
they obviously like to Rock It Old School.

Not exactly Def Leppard and Motley Crue, but the dance in the last link, is said to have
eventually crossed Europe and inspired the Tango.

Welcome to the over Forty club !

I have read somewhere in the past, that the words Slav, and Slave, are related. "Slava", means "glory", in Ukrainian. Whatever. The Kozaks fought for their freedom, and for the freedom of the rest of the people in the area, and apparently they somewhat succeeded, since there are at least a few of us around, to keep up their drinking traditions. And yes, sometimes we like a "wee puff", of the good stuff.

I always wondered why anyone would want to live with the hillbillies around North Cowichan -- I thought you must have family there. Sorry you made a bad choice ! If only you'd chosen the Okanagan -- we split our time between Kelowna and Thailand now, with the occasional visit back to ON. Age ????? - my wife is 38.

[1argoholic]

I did have family here and that's why we moved. My parents bought a place in 88 in Shawnigan Lake. They rented it out until they could retire but on Oct 20th 91 on the Skywalk on the way to a Calgary/Argo game my dad died of a heart attack. My mom decided two years after that to move here anyway. Being an only child on visits I could see my mom wasn't getting any younger and we decided to move. Every area has issues but they've added up in a big way over the years for us to really hate it here. It really is like moving to the 1960's. It's also very funny that the folks here are both friendly yet they don't let you in to their lives. Not nearly as welcoming as in Southern Ontario. It's like you poise some sort of threat. Strange vibe..really strange vibe. Backyard burning, litter, tree topping, abuse of women,animals, booze, drugs and hippy bullcrap to name a few. BC politics especially in a very NDP area of this valley sucks. I could go on and on. We've met some great folks but one couple moved back to Ottawa, another two couples to Alberta and one couple to Montreal. I will miss Victoria as it's a great city.

Hey - it's not you and it's not them -- you're just very different from them, and you will never get close to them. BC is full of pockets of folks who are 'different'. Rednecks, hillbillies, survivalists, religious zealots - the list is endless. I think they move there together so that they can stay different, which is exactly what they want to be -- and they don't want to change anything. . You see this phenomenon even more so in the western USA.
Decades ago, we moved from Calgary to BC, and bought a beautiful oceanside property on a gulf island - two years later, we moved into Vancouver, where time had not stood still. Visited the island about 2 years ago and nothing had changed -- flower power, headbands, bell bottoms and lively discussions about Karl Marx over a few joints.
You are to be congratulated for holding out so long.
By the way, the most redneck place I have ever lived was a small town north of Lindsay, ON - very like North Cowichan but ultra right wing, but that's another story !

[1argoholic]

It's different. Right now we have a huge debate over backyard burning. They just don't get it. They'll burn anything because when given an inch they take ten miles. I still can't believe we have a backyard burning season with regs but no one follows or enforces. I hope we can sell next summer and get the heck away from here.
