Congrats Gary ! Great work my friend.

Thanks Don for an awesome challenge !


Considering how badly I rolled this one out, perhaps it is better to be lucky than good.

On the script side, I really hope to try my hand at producing one of these scripts myself

My most well received script so far (for how short it was) and I didn't even break the Top 5? Guess I gotta keep trying.

Gary, dude! Awesome. Congratulations. I got quite a few laughs out of your script.

LC, your script was my top scorer. I thought it was fantastic. Not to take anything away from Gary, but I thought yours was the runaway winner for sure. Really well done.
