Intro 

All right, I apologize straight up. I promised everyone a look at the spring of 1985 this month, culminating in the Second Annual Parade of Champions, and have failed to deliver. That article will appear next month, just shy of the 18^th anniversary of that big show. This month I just needed a change of pace, something more lighthearted. Thus, we have the World Class Book of Lists, a trivial look at some of the points of interest in our favorite promotion. Enjoy!
