Who says I'm silent?

Maybe he meant salient.

Late Jurassic.

That's how I feel, anyway, watching the monthly latest generation of smart phones.

I think I saw you coming out of court the other day, in your grey suit. A good choice given your coloring.

The demographic profile of attendees at WCBB games:

• Females outnumber Males 56% to 44%
• 53% are 30 and older (of which 30% are 60 and older)
• 71% are Caucasian
• 53% have completed college or graduate school
• 70% earn less than $70k/year

In terms of games televised on ESPN2 during the past 4 years:

• 62% are male
• Strongest audience is men 55 years of age and older

Baby Boom in danger of losing its majority status -- slipped to 51%. Meanwhile, after getting challenged by Gen X & Y, the Silents have reestablished themselves as #2.

I've always heard it referred to as "the great generation."

 

[Vowelguy]

I've always heard it referred to as "the great generation."

"Greatest" is typically applied to the generation before (1901-24), since that was one that fought in WWII.

 

[Vowelguy]

Gen X fading fast...

 

[itsasport]

Those concieved during WWII are called "War Babies." I am a one of those, whereas my younger brother is a baby boomer.
