14. I'm 69, and I'd still flirt

with any woman who was open to it. But, like you said...

I could swear I made the Greatest Page once with a Lounge post. When Enron CEO and convicted criminal Kenneth Lay died, I riffed on it a la Monty Python's "Dead Parrot" bit. The OP went "I wish to complain about this Ken Lay I purchased not 'alf an hour ago from this very boutique!" Other Loungies did the Michael Palin lines from there, and I'd do the rest of John Cleese's lines with references to stock fraud. It was hilarious.

But, that was 19 years and five days ago, so I must be misremembering.
