OK, ctown28 mentioned this in one of my other threads, about wondering whose the oldest Sleuth. Now, it's got my curosity aroused as to whose the oldest Sleuth that joined this game, and also the oldest playing todate? If there's already a thread addressing this, I humbly apologize.

lol DaRu, I'm not far behind at over 1200 days myself. I still get mad at myself when I make those "rookie" mistakes. Did one today and forgot to do the favor I was holding before travelling!

If I ever start rambling on with stories like, "We'll I remember back in the day...." then you know it's time to put me away!

ctowen, when I was growing up I never thought that I would grow old.... but, the years are slipping by so quickly. It just seems like yesterday when I joined Sleuth, yet here I am, three years later, still playing this game. Where does time go? It's getting to the place where gravity is starting to play havoc with the body, hair's turning grey and getting thinner, and the eye sight isn't what it use to be..............man, "What's going on?" Just have to roll with the punches...lol! OK, just for the record, so all of you know............I still have all my teeth, look young for my age, and in no need of a wheelchair anytime soon.......and I'm talking.......way in the future. With that said, I'll say no more.....lol. *DaRu, looks around the office to make sure no one is listening, then calls her plastic surgeon*

Welcome back DaRu!!!

I hope life is treating you well and it is nice to see a familiar face reappear from the shadows.

I agree about Reda (way to go teammate!!!), I think she is the oldest still active.

Hi! Reese Withers, and LilRach. It’s nice to know I was missed, Wish I could have stayed and played the entire1302 days, but had to leave for various reasons.

Reese, I do hope you get a computer for Christmas. My hubby finally bought me a new “Dell XPS Gaming Computer.” It’s huge, but great for playing any game for Windows XP. I started to have Vista Windows installed, but I wasn’t sure I’d like it.

I’m glad to be back among great folk from all over the world. LilRach, you have good reason to be proud of Reda, and your agency. I too am partial to Fat Kitten Detective Agency, and Chicago.” When I first joined Sleuth, I was befriended by Detective Fat Kitten, and other agents within both agencies, who helped me when I was stumped.

Last, but not least, Chicago, was the first agency I joined, and right off the bat I won my first trophy, then soon afterwards got to experience the thrill in being the number one agency in New York. Those were the days, anyway, good luck to all agents and agencies:)

I'm still a little Sleuth baby! I think I'm 59 days old. :-)

BTW: "Go Granny, go Granny, go Granny, GO!" Is from the song "Little Old Lady From Pasadena". She drives like a speed demon, thus implying your reference, DaRu. :-)

Hush little baby, don't say a word. Crunchy's gonna teach you about the music you heard. And if that music don't sound good, Crunchy's gonna swab your granny's gums with vodka and implicate her in his next speeding ticket.

Absolut perjury.

Anyways - before Jan and Dean penned that incestuous lyric, single-handedly causing all and any parents of children born between the years 1960 and 1989 to search their parents bedside drinking glass (and, where applicable, dentures) for fledgling pubic hairs, there was Chuck Berry and a little song called Johnny B. Goode.

Go Johnny go!

Kevin, I love this song and I relate to it in real life. When I drive I have a tendency to have a lead foot, so Texan rarely lets me drive, ha! However, I’ve been driving since age 16, and I’ve never had a speeding ticket, but I have had a few close calls. Texan doesn’t have such a clean slate. Due to his wild and crazy days while growing up his driver’s license were suspended. Since married life he’s slowed down, and I mean….way down. Now I beg him to at least go the speeding limit, ha!

*DaRu, runs over and knocks on wood* OK, I’m not really superstitious, but I heard it helps, ha!

Hey, crunchpatty, those songs really brings back memories, and if I keep referring to them, people will figure out my age. But, then I was just a baby, or was I even born yet? Sorry, I think I’m beginning to feel the affects of that disease called: “Alzheimer’s.”

PS: Oh, and then there was “Wooly Bully.” But then these songs were before my time….ha!

Quite far too long have I been playing this game. I believe we do indeed need to charge Ben with possession of an illegal substance with the intent to sell. How else then could he have kept us all around this long?

Nov-21-2007 13:28

HEHE... I know the songs in which crunch and DaRu speak of... hmm... am I showing my age? Maybe, maybe not... lol...

*runs off singing "Wolly Bully"*

*comes back singing "Louie, Louie"* hehe... there's that song too...

*runs off again singing "Barbara Ann"*

*giggles* I know too many of them.
