#15
I'm old. My memory is fading. Is that an acceptable excuse? The 5/2/1 was a "Fletch thing", wasn't it? A formula..Oh, never mind. I shouldn't have started this. You've jiggled my memory, but not quite enough. Anyway, I'm glad I'm here.

 

[Karen G]

How about telling us the answers or explaining some of them rather than just giving the numbers of the items you remember?

 

[pjrose]

Oh wow, I thought I would do well till I read the items. I only remember a very few....and not well enough to be sure of them.

and Karen, I'd just as soon people not put in explanations yet, as then the list won't be as much of a memory test.

 

[3kids4me]

I still don't agree with #15.

[Kay H]

I remember 1-3-4-5-6-7-10-12-13-14 rings a bell but not sure why-15-18-19

Does that make me old?

 

[Mimi39]

For me it's: 1,4,5,7,9,13,16,17,18 & 19!

If TUG had a "like" buttonlike Facebook I would have pushed on this!

 

[jlf58]

Still early yet but nobody remembers

2. What Basil did for a living
8. Who still doesn't have an email address
11. Why TUG was started ( no cheating )
14. Tracey
20. a 714

I will give a little backround on all 20 in a few days !

8 will be easy once he reads this. The rest will fall into place, the only
tough one might be #2 but I know some oldies will remember. Brian Rogers, you are not allowed to answer 11

 

[jlf58]

I still don't agree with #15.

You would still be wrong LOL

 

[Weimaraner]

Ok I've been following TUG since 2006 and don't know the answers to any of these. It's like one of those nightmares where you go to take a college exam and haven't gone to class the entire semester.

Among other aliases. G

 

[DebBrown]

I remember most of those. Didn't Wonka have a contest to choose his name? :whoopie:

Fletch, you are sure bringing back alot of memories! Looking forward to your explanations.

Deb

 

[LisaH]

Where is Maz these days?

 

[jlf58]

Where is Maz these days?

Probably Mexico. He was buying it up in small pieces

 

["Roger"]

1
4
5
6
7
8 (easy)
9
11 (easy - also part of the reason why I am so skeptical about how great timesharing used to be in the old days before Crystal deH sold out)
12
13 (currently having a love in with SFX in Haight Ashbury)
15 (used to be the 1/2/5G rule. I suspect it would now be listed as the 1/2/5K rule unless one is buying a Disney. Then it would be 26G)
18
19

and (as suggested)

21 G__ G__

I know the names for 2 and 3 but not the full answers.

 

[Ginny]

#11 - The founder of TUG (Bill Rogers?) exchanged into some properties that were awful and he wanted to make sure that didn't happen again.

#14 - It seems to me that some of the guys had a virtual crush on Tracey, but I don't have the background on that, or can't remember.

I remember #1, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19.

I don't know the answers to 8 & 20. Guess that makes me an old timer. Here's another one -

Name the 4 Johns. Two of them ended up with nicknames that they use on TUG to avoid confusion.

 

[jlf58]

John Chase
John ( Wonka )
John Cummings
not sure of the 4th ( could have been me since I am a John )

Jeez. I'm like Weimaraner. Been hanging out here for five years, and this stuff predates me, too. I've heard ABOUT some of these, and I think I know the answer to a few, but I can't say I was here when the topics actually happened. So I disqualify myself based on hearsay.

Kind of like moving to Hawaii: You can live there for years, and still not be considered a "local."
