Re: Ever have a celebrity come into your work?

In 2005 Bruce Dickinson came into the flight school I was hanging at and rented a Cessna 172. We hung out and talked airplanes for 45 mins or so. Then I had him sign my CD of Chemical Wedding that was in my car. He was actually super chill and surprised I had the CD right there. Great experience and...

Re: Unearthed Van Halen live video from England '84

Same thoughts here, Roth' stages "moves" are completely fruity.

I was a little too young for the Roth years but always heard "In his prime he was the ultimate frontman." Yeah, no. That's all cringe.

The rest of the band was on point though!

Re: Bengals are going 14-3 this season

If the Bengals make a run, this is the year. Core intact, Burrow having his first real off-season, and they're still young and hungry.

Most HoF caliber QBs really hit their stride years 4-8. It's prime Bengals time!

It's amazing.

Injuries are piling up for the Bengals O-line. I don't think they'll get past Buffalo. Their run game is non existent and that's killing them. Every defense just plays 2 high and makes Burrow and the big 3 receivers work in close.
