Well, who wouldn't miss all that gold? It was fun for a while.
Glad to have you back!

What ever happened to that station wagon?!
Lord M' good to see you again!
The vest is also still in the closet, in a garment bag. Also denuded of coins since I sold the collection around 2012-ish.

Nah, I heard a rumor that the one with the cane is dead.
Not to the extent it once was, but I've got some love tokens and such to hang back on the hat.
