Does everybody fall into this trap?

Was playing CoD:MW last night with my buds and jumped into a room with another 6 playing as a group.  They were talking about a Weird Al song and one of them said, "That's before these kid's time".    I got to thinking, does everybody older than 14 fall into the trap of thinking every other player is a timmy?  They had us muted so they didn't hear my protestations of old age.  I'm only 7 years younger than Weird Al so  I bet he didn't make any songs before I came along.  It has been a mixed bag having to listen to timmy lately.  The almost continuous use of the n word bothers the hell out of me.  However, I'll treasure some of the comments.  After going 39 -3, I got a resounding chorus of "Alabama Oldfart is a retard".  I consider that an homage to my prowess and skill.  And, my rep is going down.  During WaW, I was 72 preferred or ambivalent and 28 avoided with unsporting being the main complaint.  Since MW2, 64 and 36.  I'm nowhere near Doctor52 level, but my goal is to get at least 51 percent avoided without glitching, trash talking, or quitting early, just unsporting.

On another note, my world here and my facebook world are beginning to merge in my mind.    Not the incessant "Don't accept friend requests from this person, it's a virus", but the "Post this if you love your mom" and "Post this if you think your kids are awesome".  Some of this started me thinking about old, trite sayings that don't make sense anymore

A penny saved is a penny earned.  No, it's not, a penny saved adds to the clutter on top of my dresser, and takes 15 minutes to roll 50 of them so the bank will take them and stains your fingers in the process.  $2 an hour is just not worth it.

A bird in the hand is just nasty.  They'll peck you, shit on you, and the mites crawl on your hand.

Early to bed, early to rise makes a man stupid and blind in the eyes.

Cousins are good for practice.

 

That last one isn't really in use much, it's just fun for me to throw it out there.

I know what you mean. I'm not as good a player as you and my rating has gone from 96% preferred to 85% preferred. Mine is 100% for language, which I don't curse generally on XBL, as I wouldn't want that going on with my kids.

Bama you should blog more often. Your one funny Bama boy. And by the way, I am happy to report that I have moved down to a whopping 69% avoided. For a guy who has everyone muted those timmie's sure don't like me. BTW-Would you rather have Mrs. ____ in U.
