    Is EdEx better now vs a year ago?

    Does it still cost money to enter?
  4. https://www.tmz.com/2026/01/23/francis-buchholz-dead-scorpion-bassist/ Beloved Scorpions bassist Francis Buchholz, who also played for Michael Schenker’s Temple of Rock band, has died. The German rock star passed away Thursday following a private battle with cancer, his family announced on social media Friday. They noted he "departed this world peacefully, surrounded by love" and thanked fans for their unwavering support over the years. Francis was a lifelong musician, who started playing bass in a high school band. He got together with Uli Jon Roth, Jürgen Rosenthal and Achim Kirschning in the early '70s to form a band called Dawn Road ... and they eventually joined Scorpions, alongside Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker. Francis' first release with Scorpions was 1974's "Fly to the Rainbow" ... and he was involved in every one of their projects through 1990's "Crazy World." They're best known for their 1984 rock anthem "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and the 1990 ballad "Wind of Change." Francis stepped away from the band in 1992 but teamed up with Michael Schenker's Temple of Rock to play bass in their 2012 tour. He contributed to Temple of Rock's 2013 album "Bridge the Gap" and 2015’s "Spirit on a Mission." He was 71. RIP

    Beards

    Yep... I have had one for at least 35 years... I have had co-workers ask why I have a beard... I tell them "it helps hide the ugly"...
  11. https://www.tmz.com/2026/01/22/nfl-player-kevin-johnson-dead/ Former NFL player Kevin Johnson -- a member of the Philadelphia Eagles and Oakland Raiders -- passed away this week, TMZ Sports has learned. He was 55 years old. Details surrounding his death have not been revealed at this time. Family members and childhood friends mourned the loss on social media, including his son. Johnson was born and raised in Southern California ... and started his college football career at Los Angeles Harbor College before transferring to Texas Southern. The New England Patriots took Johnson with the 86th pick in the 1993 NFL Draft ... but he was released in August of that same year. He eventually made his debut with the Eagles in the 1995 season ... and he made the most of his 11 game appearances -- earning six sacks, 19 tackles and a fumble recovery for a touchdown. He suited up for the Eagles again in 1996 ... recording one sack and 14 tackles in 12 games before being released in December of that season. Johnson also spent a year with the Oakland Raiders before taking his talents to the Arena Football League. He won a championship with the Orlando Predators in 1998. RIP

    Men that don’t like beards is because they can’t grow a nice full one…

    Who really puts stock in random polls?

    They probably don't know how to create one...
  20. The Mavericks have the best record in the ECHL at the moment... They reached the Kelly Cup finals two years ago and last year lost in the semifinals...
  21. What about the Kansas City Mavericks? As for Kansas, you only need football and men's basketball, cmh doesn't talk about anything other than those two...
  22. Now that would be interesting, of course most of the obvious morons would just ignore it...
