Kurt,
I took it to mean threads that are active today, meaning someone posts to them at least once or twice a month, with the oldest start date. There may be something older that falls into that category, but I think it's the Everyone That's Building a Car thread (Dave Severson posted to it most recently, with pictures of the righteous Olds that he's doing as a tribute to an old friend who passed away), and as jb points out, the Joke Thread is a close second in age.

A friend from my former work place shared with me that his Dad came up with a unique method of enforcing his curfew. He had an old "Big Ben" wind up alarm clock, the one with a raucous clanging alarm tone, and he set it for the designated curfew time, placing it on the floor outside their bedroom door. He made it clear that there was no problem with the time his son chose to come home. "....but heaven help you if that alarm wakes me up!!" He told of several times when he was racing through their neighborhood at high speed, sliding to a stop in the driveway, and rushing into the house to make a last second dive for that clock, but it never went off. I expect that his Dad often was laying in bed laughing, hearing his son doing everything humanly possible to get to that clock!!
