Well, without all the details. The joke generally starts out with three men already breaking out of prison and on the run, so it's just basic joke telling. They get chased down one by one by the hounds, but manage to get up the tree and make a noise like a bird or cat. Then, of course the last guy moooooos. :)
I know it's been around for at least 30 years because I'm sure I've known it for that long, if not more.
I think there's also a variation of it featuring a redhead, a brunette and a blonde. :) I figured using the prison one would be safer.
hahaha! yes the prison one is definitely safer, good choice. wise choice. hey I think you told me that most of the users on Steemit are real young like in their twenties, you told me that right?
Because noname thought it was mostly older people and that's what I thought until you told me that. somehow me and noname just found the old guys!
I think us older guys tend to gravitate toward one another, along with the younguns who are more mature. And it could be that the demographics are changing somewhat, too.
My main point is that the place is dominated by, if not by sheer numbers, in opinions, in aggressive manner, in lack of maturity, in lack of experience, in subject preferences, etc., by a younger male mentality.
I think we bump into that all the time, and we end up back with those who are older because it's what makes sense to us. I mean, we were all younger once and we so we understand that mentality (the mentality of thinking you know enough and what you don't know can't hurt you), but since we've been there and done that and largely grown out of it, there's more of a repulsion than an appeal to it.
So, anyway, I'm sure there's plenty of us around and No Name is finding them and so are you. Our generation should actually be leading the charge on this new technology based on decentralization and freedom anyway, because we've seen where the current state of things is taking us.
howdy again Glen, yes sir we should be leading the charge and I think our generation is..well I'm older than you but close enough.
there isn't data on demographics available anywhere about Steemit so we can see the age percentages?
that would sure be interesting. I guess I have no clue then, I had thought that you told me that the majority were younger but now I see what you were saying.
I believe the majority are younger, but regardless, the younger mentality is what's leading the charge, be it through the devs, Steemit Inc, the witnesses or whoever else. That 25-35 year old male mentality is what's causing things to happen whether they are the majority or the minority. As it is, if you go to the introduce me page, you'll see a lot more younger folk than me or you coming in more often.
All that said, my knowledge on the subject is all observational and circumstantial and you can take it for what it's worth, which might not be much.
Unfortunately, there isn't any place that I'm aware of, because the signup process doesn't ask for age. If people are using pictures of themselves, you can estimate that way, but many use something other than their face. Some use other people's faces.
oh so that's what you did isn't it? that's not your real face. lol. it's a noname strategy but in disguise. lol. so this is a good thing right, to have the 25-35 year olds driving the changes?
I think your observations are wise and are worth a LOT sir Glen.
well sir, with most things in life if I heard that 25-35 year olds were going to be making the major decisions and driving the changes it would be terrifying but with Steemit I don't know.
are the ones driving the changes that young?
I'd have to know who they are before I could give a good answer but just in general no it sounds scary.

Do you think it is a good thing to have the 25-35 year olds driving the changes? I'd like to hear what you think on this first, before I answer.
That would be a pretty major bait and switch if I was using my face as a decoy. :)
