11/11/11 Nigel Tufnel Day!

[Phil O]

I worked with a guitar player who was ALWAYS too loud.

Band member - "Jeff, ya gotta turn that down man."
Jeff - "It's only on 5."
Band member - "Dude, that's why there's a 1 through 4."
Jeff - "So what's 6 through 10 for?"

And let's not forget the advantage of a 12 hour clock over a 24 hour. On 11/11/11, 11:11 will have both an am AND a pm.

You know, I joined the forum on 11-11 so either that day will include something amazingly unusual or it will go by just like yesterday without fanfare. Just depends on whether I'm awake or not. (Those darn naps get in the way, you know...)

It's part of a trilogy, a musical trilogy I'm working on in D minor which is the saddest of all keys, I find. People weep instantly when they hear it, and I don't know why.

It's not going to affect my performance, don't worry about that. I just hate it... it really, it does disturb me, but I'll rise above it; I'm a professional.

Frodo, if you'd been more careful, you would have rationed your posts so that your 11,111th post would show up on that day.

LOL!! Missed by, what, 3700+ posts? Bad pacing on my part. Still, it's that elevendy-first post that would still be in the way! One too many ones.

However, my Motunation "anniversary" is 11/11, so I'm good with that!

Party on, Garth. (Oops-- different movie.)

Can't sleep... it's 3.43am on Friday morning 11/11/11... it's really black outside. How much more black could it be? The answer is none, none more black.

[mhschmieder]

It isn't black here.

I'm holding out for 12/12/12.

I think we all knew that guy, James. He's most often the central character (or is that his girlfriend?) of the plot to bring about the band's downfall. It's ironic, I s'pose, that it's "never" the intention, but most often the result.

You've always been way ahead of the rest, Dave!!

Oh! It's almost that time again....

Today's technology outdoes that early 80's stuff. A none more black is now possible:

Nigel Tufnel: You know, just simple lines intertwining, you know, very much like - I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and it's sort of in between those, really. It's like a Mach piece, really. It's sort of...

So, do we all have our souvenir burritos? (Yes or no will suffice; no need to explain WHERE!)

My wife is the manager of a Radio Reading Service, which reads current print material - newspapers, magazines, etc - to the vision impaired over sub-channel FM.

She scheduled her monthly staff meeting for 11:11 today. Just to see if anyone would catch it, I think.

Not sure how to celebrate - other than watching my Blu-Ray of Spinal Tap. It's been a while.

If you haven't seen the deleted scenes - like the limo driver (Bruno Kirby) getting stoned and singing Sinatra in his tidy whities, you're in for a treat.
