BILLY BONES Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 1953 for me. My time's coming. Capt. William Bones Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum. This, when it was brought to him, he drank slowly, like a connoisseur, lingering on the taste, and still looking about him at the cliffs and up at our signboard. "This is a handy cove," says he, at length; " and a pleasant sittyated grog-shop. Much company, mate?" My father told him no, very little company, the more was the pity. "Well, then," said he, "this is the berth for me." Proprietor of Flags of Fortune.
Rumba Rue Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Whoa! Billy you're the same age as me..... good thing I look better.
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I always miss out on the clever titles. I was born a year after the Baby boomer cutoff (1961) and way before the Generation X crew. Guess we could be "Tweeners"
Red-Handed Jill Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Actually, the Baby Boom generation was from 1946 to 1964. The fact that you just reverse the numbers is the way I remember it.
Silkie McDonough Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Heh ...I was thinking the same thing. 1961 I heard the same thing. but I guess I was wrong ...I am a boomer ...
Red-Handed Jill Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 Apparently, if you go by the actual record of births, the end of the baby boom really is 1964. I've seen other years used - don't know where they came from, but they've never had any numbers or records or such to back them up. 1964 is a good demarcation for other reasons as well. At any rate, I have friends at the early end, but I don't think they are collecting Social Security yet...
Silkie McDonough Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 Yep ...and we have even longer to wait to collect full benefits. Good thing old is younger than it once was.
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 WooHoo! I didn't get left out after all! I may not get to collect, but at least I get to go BOOM! Bo
