    awesome tune from my teens, ro ....

    Hey, but the rule is

    => "post one of your cool coins with your cool tune", my friend


    c'mon man => you must have at least one cool ancient coin with an eagle on it, no? (it's a gimme)

    I don't want them to shut-down my cool ol' thread ...

    I like you

    Cheers

    Awesome tune, Jwt ... Rob Zombie wasn't in my direct wheelhouse, but I'm pretty sure that I did buy a cd with "Dragula" on it? (is that a song?)

    *flashback tune*

    Ummm, do any of you dudes remember one of the original "Disaster Movies" that were so popular during the 70's and 80's when I was trying to grow-up!!




    ... I watched this Poseidon Adventure video and basically took a time-machine back in time to when I used to "love" going to see movies with my friends!! (sadly, I don't go too much anymore)


    Yah, sorry ... the tune kinda sucks

    Oh, and here is today's coin offering ...

    Pontos Amisos Mithradates VI Pegasus.jpg

    Ummm, I'll try to go find a better tune (I got caught-up in the movie clip)

    :oops:

    I occasionally take my son to the movies. Gets us out of the house.

    Dragula is a Rob Zombie song. Saw him live back in 2000. Heck of a show. He was followed by Slayer then the complete, original line up from Black Sabbath - my favorite band. Ever.

    Today's favorite. Well, to be honest...I wanted to post the same coin over again but I decided to wait until there's a new page.
