Took me nearly a week but I finally finished listening! If only I had been taking running commentary
I vaguely recall things getting kind of sexy halfway through. Unintentionally so, but sexy all the same.
I think Tommy Lee Jones did some heavy lifting in people thinking you were old. I wanna say Muffins was one such member who portrayed you as a senior, which is funny because you're probably the same age (maybe he's a year or two younger).
Speaking of ages, when I was first joining forums and such, I was also someone who assumed everyone to be older than me, even though I was 18 and in first year of university. I eventually came to learn that I was pretty much the average, if not slightly above average. David Knight I recall being born the same year as me (1991), and folks like sterling, Scotty, and Brooks I think are only 1-3 years older. Then we had folks like you, Sandro, Tyler, and DGFX who I think were all in that 14-17 range when I joined. Slobo, Bushito, and the Funks were more of outliers, they were full on adults with families even in 2010, so they must be pushing retirement age by now
So yeah, in conclusion, the VHL has historically been run by teenagers.
