Your post proves nothing but discipline.

He took several shots like that to the head multiple times before penalties were called. I know it backfired cuz the power play went South on us but I challenge you to stand there and take that kind of punishment for your team rather than reacting like most meatheads and feeling you have to hit the guy back just cuz he's huwting yo pweety wittow face

Hi, I'm Pascal!

I think it's time to add more german people to this thread. And I also have to check my language skills. It's been a long time (many many years) since I've said/written something in a foreign language

I hope I still know more english words than

City/country:
Frankfurt/Main, Germany.

Age (optional):
32

What first got you into metal?
Starting with rock bands in my teenage years (Guns & Roses, Bon Jovi), then checked the older stuff (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin). And soon discovered bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Metallica. So I jumped from 90s to 70s and 80s. I got "back to the future" around 1998 with new (european) bands like HammerFall, Nightwish, Lacuna Coil (I should ask Cristina to share a pool with me

) and (my local heroes) EdGuy. Too bad I couldn't get on the last cruise. The line-up filled my personal wishlist.

Play any instruments?
I can play every kind of air guitar

Top 5 bands?
Guns & Roses (1987 - 1993)
HammerFall
Rainbow (DIO era)
Nightwish
EdGuy

Top 5 new bands I discovered the last two years

Unleash the archers
The Agonist
HolyHell
Unisonic
Alestorm

What do you do?
I'm working in public/civil service in a health resort of the KVB. KVB is the insurance company for the workers of DB (Deutsche Bahn). DB is the german national railway company. But NO, I'm not working in the medical part of the resort. Just the administrative part.

What deck are you on?
H (Cabin 2526)

Checklist:

- Tasting 2 drinks I've never heard of before...one of them filled with worms
- searching the sports deck on one of the biggest cruise ships

Sounds like a big challenge. I'm in

What part of that are you reading??? They are referred to as worms, but they are clearly NOT REAL WORMS.

"A mezcal worm is an insect larva"
"the caterpillar of the Hypopta agavis moth."
"The other variety of "worm" in mezcal is the larva of a weevil"
"They are not related to edible maguey worms of central Mexico"

And actually most mezcales don't have 'worms'. The ones that do are the ones that are mostly aimed for tourists.
