It's the 11th! Today is Spinal Tap Appreciation Day!!!

[quip]

From now on until the Rapture, the 11th of every month is designated Spinal Tap Appreciation Day (as so decreed by DUstrange)

On this day we want to remember the, the sights, the sounds, the smells, of a hard-working rock band on the road. And we'll get that. But we'll get more, a lot more.

But hey — enough of my yakkin’. Whaddaya say? Let’s boogie! :thumbsup: :hi:

[Fire Walk With Me]

1. I support this movment!

[quip]

2. Heavy metal’s deep, you can get stuff out of it.

:thumbsup:

[Fire Walk With Me]

4. Things and stuff? Sweet!

[Cabcere]

10. It's like, you know, when they're onstage playing their music it's like there's this sort of...

...connection, and the music unifies everyone and it's like there's no barrier between us and the band - you become one with the band! :crazy:

(I'm paraphrasing because I can't remember the exact quote right now, and I'm too lazy to look it up.) ;)

[quip]

13. That's really good!

It’s like you become one with the guys in the band. I mean there’s...there’s no division, you just...the music
just unites people...with the players.

:hi:

[Kutjara]

3. May their amps always go to 11. n/t

[quip]

6. What's kind of funny is that Fender amps go up to 12,

one better than Marshall amps (the amps used by Spinal Tap).

But 11 is really the magic number! :thumbsup:

[FloridaJudy]

5. Hear that reverb?

Well you could if I were playing it...

[quip]

7. AAAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!

:rofl:

[FloridaJudy]

8. It can't be played

It can never be played.

Don't even look at it.

[quip]

9. No, you’ve seen enough of that one.

:rofl: :hi:

[MrSlayer]

11. He choked on vomit.

We're not quite sure who's vomit it was.

[quip]

14. They don’t have the facilities at Scotland Yard....

:rofl: :hi:

[Aristus]

18. There's no way to know, really, whose vomit is was...

You can't, you know...dust...for vomit...

[Cabcere]

12. As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock 'n' roll.

:hi: And with those words of wisdom from Mr. Mick Shrimpton, I'm heading to bed - it's nearly 3 AM here, I have a headache, and I have lots of work to do tomorrow for final exams. :scared: Peace - I mean, ROCK AND ROLL! :P :hi:

[quip]

15. You rawk Cab!

Good luck with finals!!!!! :hi:

[DS1]

16. I'll turn on Dubly on my cassette player every 11th

Except 9/11, that's Rudy Day

[Dr. Strange]

17. I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down.

I think that the problem may have been...that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object.

Another chance to quote the Tap:

19. I really think you’re just making a much too big thing out of it.

:hi:

[Dr. Strange]

20. Making a big thing out of it would've been a good idea.

(That's what Janine told me to say!)


Edited to clarify Janine's intentions.

[quip]

22. I told you once....

Cabcere gave me a drawing that said eighteen inches. Alright?

(Mixing a little argument sketch in with Tap!) :thumbsup:

[Initech]

21. I think that 11/11/11 should be officially declared Spinal Tap Day!
