It's Zen Monday, the day you experience the photo and give us your thoughts rather than me telling you what I think the photo's about.
I look for a photo worth contemplating or, failing that, something odd or silly. And I stay out of the comments box until the end of the day to avoid influencing the discussion, unless you people get totally out of control. So far that hasn't happened but there's a first time for everything.
There's no right or wrong, we're here to have fun.
If it was a van, I'd say the Van Goes.
ReplyDeleteGo to the IMDB entry on "This Is Spinal Tap" (click here). Check out the user ratings. The users give Spinal Tap an "eight" - but out of how many?
ReplyDeleteSomeone should write the numbers in the dust on the back window.
ReplyDeleteYou and Laurie are on the same page today.
ReplyDeleteCalifornia!

Spinal Tap.
ReplyDeleteI'm jonesing for a new Christopher Guest movie.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, my car was going to about 40 when we met.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a Spinal Tap fan.
ReplyDeleteStrange how similar you and Laurie are today!
Petrea and her J (aka Corky). Together, they performed only once (that's what Petrea told me anyway), and somehow, I don't think they would mind if I shared this, the only surviving clip, with you:

he he, Karin. Nice clip. So they never got to 11?
ReplyDeleteSpinal Tap lives! Nice find, Petra.
ReplyDeleteSorry. That's past my bedtime.
ReplyDelete'i, 'iker! 'ow are 'ou??
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Spinal Tap, last week I saw Harps and Angels, the Randy Newman review at the Mark Taper Theater. Michael McKean is one of the six-member cast. It was a good show, especially if you like Randy Newman. For me, the highlight was Storm Large, a great singer with punk roots. If you watch any of her stuff on YouTube, be warned, be very warned.
ReplyDeleteWV: imemis. No I'm not.
This looks like Spinal Tap to me; maybe this guy's named Nigel :)
ReplyDeleteThanks to enry iggnes, I can speak correkly.
ReplyDeleteboomer with limitations
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten about Storm Large. Need to go listen to that wonderful song again...
ReplyDeleteI used to go way past 11 on a regular basis, but now I'm lucky if I make it past 9.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video, Hiker. The one Christopher Guest line that still makes me laugh as hard as it did the first time (to tears) is the one J references: "'ello, 'ow are 'oo?" -- Corky and his Cockney accent.
Oh and thank you, Mister Earl. I had never heard of Storm Large and now I LOVE her.
Don't thank me. I'm not the one who brought up This is Spinal Tap!
ReplyDeleteWV: refessi. She's quite refessi, isn't she. And tall.
I've been trying to find one of my favorite This is Spinal Tap clips (the one where Nigel talks about working in "a chapeau shop or something") but no luck. This'll do:

Susan, I love the one you posted. I don't remember the "chapeau shop" quote. Does anyone? Maybe if we knew the larger context of the scene we could find it.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw "t11" I thought of spinal things. It's not "Spinal Tap," but it's realted, sort of...
ReplyDelete"The Lumbosacral Cord. The lumbosacral vertebra form the remainder of the segments below the vertebrae of the thorax. The lumbosacral spinal cord, however, starts at about T9 and continues only to L2. It contains most of the segments that innervate the hip and legs, as well as the buttocks and anal regions."
