Hell, no. You can also get one if you evolve a great deal, or produce children who have. Very rare, though.

This has been green lit at least twice. The last one I saw was red lit shortly afterwards.
 
2010-02-09 11:52:31 PM
This is not only old news it is repeat green news. Liters only get a few threads a day, now we get the same threads over and over. Did you hear the one about...

Verizon blocking 4-Chan? Wow, they don't know what they've gotten themselves into. My friend has Verizon and can still get it tho...

Why no green light of that story?

Since it's SC I'd guess some moonshine was involved.
*note to self, 62 is the cutoff for drunken stupidity*

It was actually alcohol in that pack if I remember right.

When I'm 62, you're damn right I'm going sledding. But I'll leave the traditional accompaniments of booze and rockets out of it until after I'm down the bottom of the hill.

dan_in_oakland 2010-02-09 11:58:47 PM Why in the holy fark is 62 too old go sledding?
=======================================

I don't think I've ever seen a 60+ year old sled. Not that I don't think they could, though. I mean, Sly Stallone is almost 64 and he could probably sled ride off a huge ramp if he wanted to.

But again, never seen it.

Not sure if once you get to that age you don't want to risk the chance of hurting yourself or if people that old just think it's a kids thing. I don't know... But I've never seen it.

seeing as how you've commented in the green light thread of that story, there is no need to link it, but I get your point. The attention span around here is gnat-like.

which leads to the question, if the admins aren't expected to read their own site, why should anyone else?

I know, I know, nobody is forcing anyone to come here, but the same stories just constantly circulate between Digg, Reddit, and Fark.

Even if one of those runs it first, the MSM and the other 2 will pick it up, then it will be repeated by the first one, based on the buzz.

I digress, I'm not one to tell Drew how to run his blog.

He was being sarcastic as that story must have gotten green lit several times as well. I replied to him as well before I realized why he posted that, so don't feel bad.

Gosh, you're brilliant. Perhaps you should start up your own website that has the ability to scoop everyone on the Internet without fail.

So what are you calling your scoop-the-world website, genius?

You may even want to consider 42 as a cutoff. Not that I would know or anything *cough cough*

If gasoline/gun powder powered muffler rocket sledding is wrong, then I just don't want to be right

why? when I'm 64 is a Beatles song, or is Elton John turning 62, or better yet is he sledding with a firecracker up his bum?

My bet is on the last one. Without the sledding.
