She was the only 18 year old that I can remember from DU and was a prominent one here. Most I seem to remember were between 30 to 50. Rarely +60.
Uh, you have that wrong, Ptarmigan, sir.
To digress for a moment, the lil heiferette Ava, the chinless wonder, is now twenty years old, probably closer to twenty-one.
But to get back to you, sir, it's obvious most of the primitives are ancient hippies, hearkening back to the dawning of the Age of Aquarius in the late 1960s. One needs to only glance at their photograph album, to get an idea how old many of the primitives really are, and they're pretty old.
And even if they don't post photographs of themselves, many primitives frankly admit their ages in writing on Skins's island--or inadvertently betray their ages in the "remember" or "nostalgia" campfires. Always interested in vital statistics, franksolich heads for those sorts of campfires ("remember the Kennedy assassination?" "remember when candy bars were five cents?" "where were you at when John Lennon was shot?" "what was the lowest hourly wage you ever made?"--those sorts of things), as primitive responses provide useful statistical insight.
Anne Pritchett, for example, is 57 years old, not too many months away from 58.
And Anne's practically a spring chicken, compared with many PoP.
