It makes another TV appearance as a permanent prop on NBC's popular sitcom "Silver Spoons", debuting in September 1983.

That would be me, except

* I was not a champion player
* The US champ - a girl from Colorado - was so flustered that I ended up demonstrating about 90% of the game

Really sucked because they flew her out to Hollywood with a friend, and had a limo chauffeuring her all over the place. I got paid the whopping sum of $50

BTW, the That's Incredible show was Thanksgiving 1983.

Well, Harvey did indeed take me out to lunch - and then stuck me with a huge bill... LOL...

But da man took pity on me and Loaded me up at 32Red, and I also took a ride on the Wheel of Wealth at All Slots. And the nice people at Trident gave me a birthday bonus as well but Harvey was there too... LOL...

Thanks again, everyone. Been a mostly quiet but good day!

Thats what all the old ppl say

Remember when it used to be party party....

On the subject of anniversaries, tomorrow (or today for some!) marks a year since the "most users were ever online" on the CM forum. Wonder what the killer thread was? Spear's last birthday?
