It’s like 1 cm square but it counts. It’s part of the Krayt Dragon skeleton. She got her dad a piece of the actual Apollo rocket. Her dad worked for NASA. That's pretty dope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan since a Fetus Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I just got Devin Townsend to blow me a kiss from stage. All I had to do was pull up my shirt, tweak my nipples and blow him one first. It was incredible. A highlight of my life. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Speaking of, I’ve always watched old music videos from the 80s and wondered what happened to the women in them, especially those hair metal videos where the band is live and in concert and they have crowd shots. Like this girl who’s singing with Vince Neil, what are the odds that she peaked in 1985 in this moment? No chance she went on to a distinguished career as a lawyer, right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan since a Fetus Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Also saw Animals As Leaders. I’ve seen them about 6-7x. This performance was fantastic though. They played a more laid back set but it was incredible. The highlight was Brain Dance Dream Theater closed out the night. I haven’t listened to them much in the past 15 years. After seeing them, I won’t purposely see them again. Very boring. No smiling or anything. They were just going through the motions and looked like they were working the counter at the local Burger King. So uninspired 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Trees trees trees everywhere I look 🌳 On the 70 west headed to Pittsburgh. East coast so much more lush than the west. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Anyone ever been to Disney Paris? We are planning a first trip to Paris next May and our resort for a few of the days is nearby (10 minutes). Also any recs for Paris and or France for a first time? I'm guessing Eiffel Tower and Louvre are easy slam dunks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small world though, back in the day, I had a buddy from Springfield & his dad worked on the space station program for NASA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Heavy Metal Parking Lot is a classic. There's so much to like about it, so many great moments. But my all time favorite is how they're running around the Capital Centre parking lot telling everyone that they're with MTV...and all these stupid white kids are all like OMG!!! But the one big black dude is like BULL****! And he says it in a way that I've forever tried to emulate but never will. It's perfect. Another favorite part, aside from the DC 101 shirt guy: The girl who says she'd jump Rob Halford's bones if she saw him. Pretty hilarious in retrospect. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreatBuzz Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Is this the appropriate thread? So tldr is we have our camper on consignment at a dealer. Some dude contacted me saying he would rent it out, blah blah blah. I said thanks but no thanks. He went on to badmouth the place I have it. Part of the conversation below. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Picking up kids from New daycare center, and ill be honest it's one where I hear a lot of parents, hmm, talking disrespectful towards their kids. All the sudden it really hit me that we need to be really honest with ourselves in the conversation of why kids are "so disrespectful these days"... 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it all the time as a teacher. The way you talk to your kids, and the way you talk around your kids matters. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 A not-so-random thought that I've had for my 20+ yrs coming here. Y'all are a great group, this is a great group. Very intelligent, knowledgeable from a wide breadth of life. I find that when news breaks, I come HERE. a friggin' football message board. I come HERE to read about it. And i do so because we get it from many sources. (Where is Visionary, by the way? Did I miss something?) Somebody here has the news from one source, and someone else will bring it from another, and likewise, the commenters and analysts who's segments and columns we bring here to augment or source an argument.. I find that i get a very well rounded picture of what's going on, with multiple sources from which i can delve deeper. And then the discussion that follows, I have learned much from all of the folks who have been here over the years. Cheers. ~John 7 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
