Hey Max, New TV show idea. Remember the Timex commercial?
“We took this Timex digital LCD readout watch and strapped it to the bumper of a...” before crashing the car into the side of a train or whatever?
Same thing.

This guy, Devon Staples, was a Disney "actor" at the Orlando theme park. Played Gaston from "Beauty and the Beast".

I feel very sad. It makes me very sad whenever I see young lives suddenly tragically end long before they should.
God have mercy on his soul.

I wouldn’t think they would have enough power to crush your skull. I’ve seen people hold them to their waist when they launch.

"I wouldnt think they would have enough power to crush your skull. Ive seen people hold them to their waist when they launch."
Frank "Cannonball" Richards could stop a cannonball with his stomach. Don't think that'd work with his head.
