Just to let everyone know I was able to play all of my active PBEM turns last night but due to Yahoo Mail not responding not able to ship out the saves to the next player. I'll get them e-mailed out when I get home tonight - Sorry for the delay

 

[denyd]

Cyc: Would you please re-send the file - Norton isn't letting me download it

 

[Cyc]

That sounds like a line off the old Jackie Gleson Show. I'll go resend it now.

 

[denyd]

You can't possibly be old enough to remember "The Honeymooners"

Thanks, I'll play later tonight

 

[Cyc]

Ever hear of syndication? Gilligan and the Skipper/Ginger and Marianne? I bet you never saw an original "Gilligan's Island".

If I was old enough to remember the "Honeymooners", I probably wouldn't remember...

Not only saw the debut of Gilligan's Island, but remember the John F. Kennedy Funeral on TV (in 1963)

EDIT: Yahoo would not attach the file to the e-mail, so I attached it here

Hey Gramps... I bet you used to watch the original Star Trek shows too.

 

[denyd]

You betcha you young whippersnapper, plus Outer Limits, Twilight Zone & Lost in Space (Danger, Will Robinson, danger,danger) and all in black & white.

 

[Cyc]

Good man, Gramps! It's easy to see where you got your training. No wonder you're such a Civ Whiz.

Denyd, I watched nearly all of those programmes when I was young, but as re-runs. Will you give us a number? How old are you? I thought I was in the elderly catagory in this community coming in just shy of 40.

During that year the minimum wage in the US went from 75 cents to a dollar
The Dow Jones Average closed at 488
Yamaha Motors builds it's first motorcycle
Boeing flies the first 707
Ann Landers & Dear Abby premier in newspapers
Lord of the Rings (Return of the King) is published for the first time
The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson premieres along with Gunsmoke, the Honeymooners & the Mickey Mouse Club
In Sports the Brookyln Dodgers win their first World Series defeating the Yankees (4-3)
Cy Young & Honus Wagner die
The first McDonalds opens selling Hamburgers for 15 cents & fries for 10 cents
For the first time tractors outnumber horses on farms

And now (drumroll)

I was born on December 13, 1955 and contrary to popular belief not in a manger in Bethelem
