[quote:a5e9d8895a]Looks like I'm the oldest so far - 54. My wife, Heather is 29. [/quote:a5e9d8895a]
You wouldn't have added that because you are PROUD of that fact, would you have Frank Z.??? :P :P :P

I will be 42 on 9/11 (there IS a reason to celebrate that day).

48 and still raising elementary aged children, I fit right in! :lol:
30 year class reunion this year :o
1st Strat set was based on the 69 year. My brothers and I bought it and replayed the WS to help our then beloved Orioles win :oops:

I always wondered....did the fish move with the sea or were they stranded on the dry sea bed? :wink:

Had to wait 60 years for the internet to come of age. Just so I could play SOM on line. At 67 and retired, what could be finer? :lol:

I'm a 50-year-old newbie...

Played strat in my youth, when the dice were actually carved stones with painted symbols on them...the "cards" were small papyrus sheets with the stone-rolls stamped in heiroglyphs...

a mid-life crisis, combined with the fact that my #1 lady lives 14,000 miles away, caused me to revisit my occasionally golden memories...

(my favorite memory was when I rolled a 3-2 on the last play of the game and fullback John Brockington ('72?) rumbled 80 yards for a one-point victory and a trip to the playoffs, as opposing coach Warren Pino, who tended to throw things away, went absolutely ballistic, and began hurling cards, game parts and small pieces of furniture across the room, shattering two lamps and smashing an end-table...and it was MY house!)...

My mother was upset at the mess until i explained to her what happened. She found Warren sobbing in the bathroom and gave him milk and chocolate cake.

I know he is still haunted by the memory...hopefully he is in recovery and able to move forward with his life...

that's my main complaint about this game...you don't get to see the other guy go ballistic when Fernando Rodney (5R) goes 6 1/3 shutout innings at PNC for the victory against your eight-lefty lineup which includes Ortiz, Delgado, Drew, Utley, Valentin and Duffy...

(actually, that was MY eight-lefty lineup he was breezing through)...fortunately I don't throw things as much as I used to...

but it would be nice to have some sort of camera setup that monitors blood pressure and photographs managers as they review their boxscores with steam coming out of their ears, with the footage then available for the opposing manager to gloat over...

nobody likes to win in a vacuum...

27 here. Let me know when my hair's supposed to start falling out, guys. Is it proportionate to my winning percentage here? I sure hope not, 'cause I'll be ripping that hair out.

Hey... my wife is older than FrankZappaLives' wife, though not as old as Frank. 8) 8)
