How Old Are The Members of The Fedora Lounge?

So how was it serving under Stonewall Jackson? Oh, I'm sorry. I meant Andrew Jackson.

That Peggy Eaton Affair took up far too much valuable time. That assasination attempt also made him much more paranoid for the rest of his term but Old Hickory persevered.
God help you if you challenged him or his honor. He killed the Second Bank of the US and smashed Congressional disapproval of Martin Van Buren by appointing him as his vice -president when they turned him back as ambassador to England. Van Buren suceeded him as president as a continuing thumb in the eye to Congress. He got what he wanted and as long as you knew that, you could work with him just fine.
How was your tenure under Andrew Johnson?

Martha or Mary?

 

[PrettySquareGal]

Oh, so it's the 4th anniversary of your 38th birthday. I celebrate the anniversary of my 39th à la Jack Benny.

Yes, I do the Jack Benny thing sans one year.

 

[Widebrim]

Martha or Mary?

I don't know. I just called her "M."

Were you also a senator from Tennessee who voted against your father-in-law's impeachment?

 

[Widebrim]

Were you also a senator from Tennesee who voted against your father-in-law's impeachment?

Are you kidding? I don't even know how to spell the word...:eusa_doh:

And on a positive note for those "older" FLoungers, the 45+ crowd is leading in the stretch!

Obviously neither do I.
That's because you voted more than once.

 

[Widebrim]

Right, for me and for you as proxy...

 

[jamespowers]

Right, for me and for you as proxy...

I thought you just voted twice to get your actual age in.

Smoking jackets? Now there is a good use.

Naw, you'd need too many...

I am 34, was born in the decade of bell bottom pants and grew up in the decade of really big shoulder pads and hair.

Remember those days well, and although I have "nostalgic" thoughts about them, I hope they don't come back...

 

[Warden]

Ho no I am in the old folks category.

I wholly support this viewpoint! Sadly, it'd seem that, as with many other forms of popular culture, what the younger set call a 'mash up' is happening with clothing - I see clothing from different decades inappropriately mixed and worn without any sense of style all the time.

Current bugbears:
'Jeggings' - shurely, all these teen gals aren't Max Wall fans?
Skintight jeans - akin to badly-fitted sausage casings!
Unlaced 'combat' boots - usually cheap, pre-distressed, plastic-soled approximations, especially horrible when combined with the aforementioned articles, giving wearers the silhouette of a golf club...

For US FLers, this is the late, great Max Wall, noted comedian and thesp:
