Would you believe it if I told you I hadn't seen the first thread so I made a new one in a hurry to still celebrate the occasion? Ops!

 

And by the way Mr. Nowack, thank you!

Sadly the first thread was received about as well as the 1983 revival!

Hahaha, hopefully the reunion at Sardi's will spark more of a discussion.
