Index</B></I></FONT><BR><B>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:</B><BR><BR><I>From Master Yehudah of Nuremburg:<BR><BR>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..<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>The Old Fart Index (OFI) Rule states:<BR>OFI is the person's
chronological age in years (commencing at birth), aggregated with their years
in the SCA. Mathematically this is represented as:<BR><BR><B>OFI = MYr +
SYr.</B> (Where 'MYr' is Mundane Years and 'SYr' is Society Years.)<BR>(Please
note that the OFI is gender neutral...)<BR><BR>When applied to the following
table, the index will precisely indicate the appropriate title to be applied
to someone completely irrespective of OP awards.<BR><BR><B>OFI -->
Title</B><BR>------------<BR>Under 40: Fodder<BR>41-49: Smart Ass<BR>50-59:
Lifer<BR>60-69: Old Fart<BR>70-79: Neanderthal<BR>80-89: Dinosaur<BR>90-99:
Fossil<BR>100-109: Primordial Ooze<BR>110+: Gas (hot
air)<BR><BR>Example:<BR>Count Sir Denis of the Titans' OFI is 91 (54 + 35). He
is officially a 'Fossil'<BR>Lord Vallawulf Rurikson's OFI is 57 (36 + 21). He
is a 'Lifer'<BR><BR>Use the index on your friends.... and those not your
friends... Enjoy!</I>
