Got this from a new Yahoo Group I joined for SCA'ers over 40. if anyone else is interested the group can be found at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SCADIAN_ELDERS

Domhnall

The age I feel is in direct proportion to the amount of blood diluting
the caffeine in my veins.




  Old Fart Index
  I've seen this passed around on several mailing lists recently. I'm not sure what the origin of this is, but it's quite amusing:

  From Master Yehudah of Nuremburg:

  I had this half-baked idea at the beginning of the war and I let it ferment. I now believe it is fully baked and ready for public consumption..

  For years a fair number of our senior members of the society have been given and earned various unofficial titles regarding their age. I wish to standardize the terminology and therefore, I developed the Old Fart Index based on a simple axiom.

  The Old Fart Index (OFI) Rule states:
  OFI is the person's chronological age in years (commencing at birth), aggregated with their years in the SCA. Mathematically this is represented as:

  OFI = MYr + SYr. (Where 'MYr' is Mundane Years and 'SYr' is Society Years.)
  (Please note that the OFI is gender neutral...)

  When applied to the following table, the index will precisely indicate the appropriate title to be applied to someone completely irrespective of OP awards.

  OFI --> Title
  ------------
  Under 40: Fodder
  41-49: Smart Ass
  50-59: Lifer
  60-69: Old Fart
  70-79: Neanderthal
  80-89: Dinosaur
  90-99: Fossil
  100-109: Primordial Ooze
  110+: Gas (hot air)

  Example:
  Count Sir Denis of the Titans' OFI is 91 (54 + 35). He is officially a 'Fossil'
  Lord Vallawulf Rurikson's OFI is 57 (36 + 21). He is a 'Lifer'

  Use the index on your friends.... and those not your friends... Enjoy!
