JoannNo way this one beats the NYC dinner thread. It's a mere shadow of that breathtaking train wreck.
This one got a lot of it's momentum by lots of random O/T comments - people just spraying verbal buckshot about the place. Any thread can be "classic" if people just want to type random musings.
See, the NYC dinner thread managed to run itself off a cliff all while staying mostly on topic. People largely confined their posts to suggestions for where and when to have dinner, every eatery in NYC was named at least once, people were being accused of jamming personal preferences down others' throats - it was magnificent!
Just my opinion, but I don't think music, TV and food random posts really cut it for building a classic train-wreck thread (unless, of course, the topic is food as in the NYC).
My vote - no. NYC is still the winner and champion. For staying on topic, having incredible arguments, and still managing to not get anywhere (very important characteristic, that last one).

Edited to add: Oh, and I am interested to see how this one comes to resolution. We'll see how Bobby responds.
