Please tell us you are not planning on taking this one out for a trail run!!! 
You have a peculiar definition of “backpedaling”.
I was simply disputing what you claimed to be a fact: that I’m old.
And, no, I haven’t confused this site with Facebook.

In that case, I should be invoicing you.
^Sigh…dad joke.
I’m torn, the savage unprovoked attack was quite humourous but then those puppies are cute as [he]ck.
Hi torn, nice to meet you. I’m dad.
I believe that that’s _ Mr. _ Torn.
Rip to his friends.
I’m guessing at least 50% of the people here had to Google Rip Torn, and then went “oh yeah” when they saw his picture.
I actually remember him because I thought that was the funniest name I had ever seen. (From Men In Black, ~1998)
I did google him so I could see if his real name was Rip. Alas, it is actually Elmore (I think).
You should watch the Larry Sanders Show. A gem of early HBO sitcoms.
I do sometimes forget which Rip is which, Torn or Taylor.
I think I would rather my posts were deleted completely rather than being changed to ‘heck’

We have a president who admits to grabbing women by the p, but we can’t say the f-word on an anonymous forum…
