Today is the 11th, which means: Spinal Tap Quotation Day!

[quip]

Straight from hell to you, this is your chance to the catch the sights, the sounds, the smells, of a hard-working rock band in teh Lounge.

And you'll get that. But you'll get more, a lot more. But hey — enough of my yakkin’. Whaddaya say? Let’s boogie!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

1. We've got Armadillos in our trousers. It's really quite frightening.

[quip]

3. Funny you should mention that....

[RoyGBiv]

2. This one goes to eleven ...

Okay, too easy, but it had to be done.

[quip]

4. Thanks for getting that one out of the way!

Iconic as it is.... :hi:

[HuskerDU]

5. Luv 'em.

"This is Spinal Tap" was the very first movie we ever rented way back in 1986. Mom had to rent the damn VCR too. The bummer thing was that I had already heard a few of the jokes!

"Stonehendge was in serious jeopardy of being crushed by a DWARF!"

[Cabcere]

52. I really think you're making much too big a thing out of this.

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

[lligrd]

6. Phew, I Thought We Were Going To Get A Spinal Tap

and listen to Bush Quotations. I much prefer the band.

[quip]

11. Perish the thought!

x( :hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. I'll see your Spinal Tap (the imitators)

and raise you a Rutles (the originals):



Stig, meanwhile, had hidden in the background so much that in 1969, a rumor went around that he was dead. He was supposed to have been killed in a flash fire at a waterbed shop and replaced by a plastic and wax replica from Madame Tusseaud's. Several so-called "facts" helped the emergence of this rumor. One: he never said anything publicly. Even as the "quiet one," he'd not said a word since 1966. Two: on the cover of their latest album, "Shabby Road," he is wearing no trousers, an Italian way of indicating death. Three: Nasty supposedly sings "I buried Stig" on "I Am The Waitress." In fact, he sings, "E burres stigano," which is very bad Spanish for "Have you a water buffalo?" Four: On the cover of the "Sergeant Rutter" album, Stig is leaning in the exact position of a dying Yeti, from the Rutland Book of the Dead. Five: If you sing the title of "Sergeant Rutter's Only Darts Club Band" backwards, it's supposed to sound very like "Stig has been dead for ages, honestly." In fact, it sounds uncannily like "Dnab Bulc Ylno S'rettur Tnaegres." Palpable nonsense.

[HuskerDU]

8. Was the follow up called, "All You Need is Cash"?

I've been meaning to check out that sequel.

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. That was the first one

Full title: "The Rutles: All You Need is Cash."

The 2002 sequel was "The Rutles 2: Can't Buy Me Lunch."

I wish I could get my hands on DVDs of the "Rutland Weekend Television" episodes they were on. That'd be a major score.

[HuskerDU]

10. Great stuff!

Ok, I knew they had made a follow up recently. I luvs me some Beatles but they were ripe for the pickin' by the late 60s. Rutles nailed 'em.

[HuskerDU]

12. Great stuff!

Ok, I knew they had made a follow up recently. "Cash" is the only one I've seen.

I luvs me some Beatles but they were ripe for the pickin' by the late 60s. Rutles nailed 'em.

[Dr. Strange]

13. We’re not going about to do a free-form jazz, uh, exploration in front of a festival crowd!

[quip]

21. Spinal Tap Mark II

I hope you enjoy our new direction.

[mikeytherat]

23. On the bass: Derek Smalls. He wrote this.

mikey_the_rat

[Dr. Strange]

Is it just me...

or does it sound like David is trying to pass the blame?

[mikeytherat]

25. The way he says, "He wrote this" is definite blame-passing.

mikey_the_rat

[quip]

31. So tonight’s the last show of the tour. How’s that feel?

You know, is like this your last waltz, are we talkin’ the end of Spinal Tap, or are you gonna try to milk it for a few more years in Europe, I mean....

[mikeytherat]

33. Who wants to be some fuckin' 45-year-old, fartin around the stage?

It's beneath us.

mikey_the_rat

PS
"You're a naughty one, Saucy Jack! You're a haughty one, Saucy Jack!"

[quip]

38. ...cranking out some kind of mediocre head-banging bullshit, you know, that we’ve forgotten...

So true, so true, yeah....

[darkstar]

132. One of my favorite lines

as, oh, two dozen or so folks kill time in between the next dolphin show.

[Pierre.Suave]

14. WOW

What a surprise.

A Spinal Tap Thread...

In a million years I NEVER would have guessed I would see one of those here...

:hi: :P

[Dr. Strange]

15. Here, smell this.

[Pierre.Suave]

16. Do I want to?

it looks a bit strange?

[Dr. Strange]

17. Well, it could be worse.

You should have seen what they originally wanted you to smell...
it wasn't a glove, believe me!

[Pierre.Suave]

18. In that case...

I will count my blessings.

[TZ]

43. Thats a sexist post

and will never fly here. I demand you remove it!

[Cabcere]

46. What's wrong with bein' sexy?

:shrug: :P

[quip]

50. Absolutely one of my favs!

[Dr. Strange]

63. Sexist? Come on, this is the eighties!

No wait, this is the ... what the hell is this? The zeros?

[Cabcere]

67. We're not in the sixties, we don't have this mentality anymore.

[quip]

19. Doood, every 11th of the month! Eleven is a special number....

;) :hi:

[Dr. Strange]

20. Exactly...'cause it's one louder, isn't it?

[quip]

29. It’s not ten. You see, most...most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten.

You’re on ten here...all the way up...all the way up....

[Cabcere]

68. Well, why don't you just make ten the highest number and make ten a little louder?

...


...


...


...These go to eleven.

[Pierre.Suave]

22. Damnit

I need to see this movie.

:P

[quip]

24. Because you're a great guy Jason, we'll spoon fed you with YouTube:

With respect to "11"

http://youtube.com/watch?v=AhVWJgIzftE

AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! :rofl: :hi:

[Pierre.Suave]

26. LOL

ok, I will watch it later.

Thanks.

[Dr. Strange]

27. No, no, watch this one!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=At887GsraAQ

[Pierre.Suave]

28. Can I watch them both?

is that ok with you?

:rofl:

[Dr. Strange]

30. I suppose.

And then watch this one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=f2b1D5w82yU

That should catch you up on the whole "eleven" thing.

:patriot:

[Pierre.Suave]

35. thanks

I appreciate your permission.

[Dr. Strange]

32. I have a small piece of bad news. Although it may not be that bad.

We’re, uh, we’re canceled here.

[quip]

34. At the hotel?

[Dr. Strange]

61. No, we’re canceled - the gig is canceled....

Uh...it says “Memphis show canceled due to lack of advertising funds”...

(Personally, I blame Fufkin!)

[quip]

71. The last time Tap toured America,

they where, uh, booked into 10,000 seat arenas, and 15,000 seat venues, and it seems that now, on the current tour they’re being booked into 1,200 seat arenas, 1,500 seat arenas, and uh I was just wondering, does this mean uh...the popularity of the group is waning?

:shrug:

Edit:

Blame me????

[Cabcere]

74. No, no, no - I think their appeal has just become more selective.

(Kick this ass for a man.) :rofl:

[quip]

77. C’mon, I’m not asking, I’m telling with this, kick my ass!

[Cabcere]

80. Go on, kick my ass! Enjoy!

It's the timing, that's all. I fucked up the timing. I got no timing, got no timing.

[quip]

90. That reminds me-- T-shirt idea: Disk an' Dat

:rofl:

[quip]

36. Now, during the Flower People period, who was your drummer?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

37. He died. He choked on... the official explanation was

he choked on vomit.

Nigel: It was actually, was actually someone else's vomit.
It's not....
David: It's ugly.
Nigel: You know. There's no real....
Derek: You know they can't prove whose vomit it was...they don't
have the facilities at Scotland Yard....
David: You can't print, there's no way to print a spectra-photograph
Nigel: You can't really dust for vomit.

[quip]

39. You can't really dust for vomit.

Classic line! Hi, you! :hi: :rofl:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

40. Hey!

:hi:

[quip]

41. Now, if you want to take a more sophisticated look at Tap quoting, throw out a line

and let the next bloke continue it! :hi:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

42. This twisted old fruit here tells me that you have fucked up our reservations.

[quip]

44. I’m just as God made me, sir.

:rofl:

[Cabcere]

48. It's not that kind of hotel, sir.

[quip]

54. ???

Oh-ho-ho don’t - don’t tempt me, sir.

[Cabcere]

56. Well certainly, in the topsy-turvy world of heavy rock

having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is often useful. :evilgrin:

[quip]

58. Kind of totemestic thing? Bahhh!!!!ELEVENS

:spank:

Mhmh.

[Westegg]

110. "Well, I don't know - wh-wh-... what're the hours? "

[Dr. Strange]

115. The End.

Spinal Tap sequel?

[quip]

45. Oh, no! If I told them once, I told them a hundred times:

put “Spinal Tap” first and “Puppet show” last.

[Cabcere]

47. Well, we have got the bigger dressing room...

[quip]

49. It’s a morale builder, isn’t it?

:hi:

[Cabcere]

51. What's that on your finger?

:) It's my gum.

:shrug: What are you doing with it on your finger?

:think: I might need it later.

:eyes: Put it on the table, that's terrible!

:P No, I might forget it on the table!

:banghead: Fucking awful, can't take him anywhere.

[quip]

55. BAAAAAAH!!!!ELEVENS!!

I was just watching that scene again last night. It's even better with your smiley interpretation! :rofl:

[Cabcere]

60. I so love that scene

:rofl: My best friend and I are convinced that our friendship can be perfectly summed up in those few minutes. :P (Although we're not sure which of us is David and which of us is Nigel...actually, we're pretty sure we're both Nigel, lol.)

And I'm glad you liked the smilies! :7 :rofl:

[Cabcere]

53. Hello Cleveland...

HELLO CLEVELAND!

[quip]

57. Well we’ve kept ‘em waiting long enough. Let’s do it to them. C’mon Mick!!!

"Let’s do it to them" :rofl:

[HuskerDU]

62. ROCK-N-ROLL!!

[quip]

83. You’re authorized. You’re musicians aren’t you?

[Cabcere]

95. Yeah, we've got guitars...

:rofl: Something about the way David says that just cracks me up. :D That whole scene is great!

[quip]

99. We’re in the group. We’re in the group that’s playing tonight.

They really reveal their inner childs in this scene (confused!)
:rofl:

[HuskerDU]

105. Cleveland backstage has always been my fave scene.

And of course the outtakes where Tap does a radio interview in Chicago.

Questions for the band? *crickets* Caller: How many career shutouts did Ferguson Jenkins have? lol

[Cabcere]

106. LOL, and then Mick answers and goes into all the details and everything...

:rofl: Good times, good times. :hi:

[flvegan]

59. 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.

[Dr. Strange]

64. So it became a comedy number.

[Cabcere]

65. Yes, it did.

Yes, it fucking well did, and it was not pleasant to be a part of that comedy number on stage! Perhaps backstage, it was very amusing...

[quip]

69. Maybe we just fix the choreography. Keep the dwarf clear.

[Cabcere]

72. I *don't* think that's the issue.

[quip]

73. It’s not exactly the first time you’ve messed things up is it?

(ooh, it's getting juicy....) :D

[Dr. Strange]

75. “Not the first time”...just a minute. Excuse me.

This is a band meeting. Right? Are you here for some reason?

[quip]

79. Don’t worry about it. Don’t worry about it. She’s, she’s with me.

[Dr. Strange]

126. No, but is she now in the band. Is she singing backup or something?

[quip]

127. I care what happens to the band.

[Cabcere]

78. What do you mean?

x(



(At first I was tempted to just skip straight ahead to the "Well, fuck you, and fuck all of you, because I QUIT!!elevens!!" :P But this works too, I think.) :hi:

[quip]

82. Well I mean...I mean when you build the actual piece.

:thumbsup: :hi:

[Cabcere]

84. But...this *is* the piece. This is what you asked for...

:shrug:

[quip]

88. Are you telling me that this is it? This is scenery? Have you ever been to Stonehenge?

The triptychs are...the triptychs are twenty feet high. You can stand four men up them!

:mad:

[Cabcere]

93. But...but, look! I have the drawing - see, right there! It says eighteen inches!

I was given this napkin...

(all together now, boys and girls: FUCK THE NAPKIN!!!ELEVENS!!!!!) :rofl:

[quip]

96. ...

:rofl:

[Cabcere]

98. Nigel gave me a drawing that said eighteen inches.

Now, whether or not he knows the difference between feet and inches is not my problem.

:rofl:

[quip]

101. But you’re not as confused as him are you? I mean it’s not your job to be as confused as Nigel is.

:rofl:

[Cabcere]

108. I love those lines.

:rofl: And Nigel's expression when David says that...OMG, priceless! :rofl:

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

66. "What's wrong with being sexy?"

[quip]

70. Sex-ist

-ist. More than sexy.

[Chiyo-chichi]

76. We say "love your brother." We don't say it, really.

Nigel: We don't literally say it.
David: No, we don't say it.
Nigel: We don't really literally mean it.

[Dr. Strange]

81. We’re anything but racists.

[quip]

86. uh...one thing that puzzles me

...um...is the make up of your audience seems to be ...uh... predominately young boys.

[bunkerbuster1]

85. "Can you play a bass line like Nigel used to on 'Big Bottom'? Can you double that?"

You might recall the line's in fifths.

Viv Savage: Oh yeah, I've got two hands here.

[quip]

87. So, that’s good, you can play that one.

[Rambis]

89. Hey! enough of my Yakin lets boogie! Marty DiBergi

[quip]

91. Hello. My name is Marty DiBergi. I’m a film maker. I make a lot of commercials.

That little dog that chases the covered wagon underneath the sink? That was mine. :hi:

[bif]

92. Boston cancelled.

But don't wory about it. It's not a big college town.

[NoGOPZone]

94. how much more black could it be?

the answer is none. None more black.

[quip]

97. I think, like you’re, like rationalizing this whole thing like into something you did on on purpose.

I think we’re stuck with a very, very stupid and a very, and a very dismal looking album, this is depressing. :hi:

(worked for the Beatles) :D

[Cabcere]

100. This is something you wear on your arm - you don't put this

on a fuckin' turntable.

[quip]

103. It’s like a black mirror.

[Cabcere]

104. You can see yourself in...BOTH sides.

:rofl:

[quip]

107. Does look a little bit like, you know, black leather...

Hey turtlezoot, you snooze, you lose! :rofl:

[Cabcere]

109. Where is Her Turtleness, anyway?

Working or something? :shrug:

[quip]

111. Yeah, she had to pee in a cup today (drug test); she might be shagged out after a long

squat squawk. :D

[Cabcere]

112. Ahh, I see.

*snickers* You're demented, you know that? :hug: :hi:

[quip]

113. And I'll take that as a compliment!

:hug:

Must go do some work now...x( :hi:

[TZ]

116. You have NO idea what I went through

to get that pee in a cup today..Worth its weight in gold, really.
And after being at the docs for three hours I had work to catch up on. Unlike others here who OBVIOUSLY have too much idle time...:P

[quip]

118. Not at all. I completely blew off all of my work to idle here

and I deserve, well, a spanking really..... :evilgrin:

[TZ]

122. ...

Well since I am home now, and you did mention black leather..somehow this seems perfect for this thread. Here you go you naughty boy.....

[quip]

124. ...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=WSHGT9bATdc">Hello, Kitty

[TZ]

117. I'm here.

Had to catch up on stuff after being at the docs all morning. Get a break now waiting for a call back from IT.
Besides, its really tiring to be bad,wicked,evil,and naughty full time.:)

[Cabcere]

134. Hooray!

:woohoo: :bounce: :bounce: :hug:

Sorry I missed you earlier - I took a nap that ended up lasting about 4 hours. :scared: Lots of students are all in my campus with disease, and I feel like I might be starting to get sick, so I'm trying to prevent the worst of it.

(And yes, it is tiring to be wicked, bad, naughty, and evil full-time - even if you don't light the grail-shaped beacon!) ;) :hi:

[Cabcere]

102. Well, I think it looks like death.

x(


David, every movie in every cinema is about death. Death sells!

[TZ]

114. *sigh* this thread makes me sad...

I don't know the movie well enough yet to play....:cry:

[quip]

119. Suck it up, soldier!

(now you reply, "Nice post, Hookstratten") :rofl:

[TZ]

123. Nice post, Hookstratten

:shrug:

[quip]

125. Brilliant!

:D

[TZ]

133. okay

but could you please kindly explain what is so brilliant about it (whoosh--over my head):o

[Initech]

120. Spinal Tap on the Simpsons

We salute you, our half inflated dark lord!

[quip]

121. That's one of the ways you know you've "made it"

Simpsons worthy. :D

[Initech]

130. Harry Shearer is a member of Spinal Tap

He is bass player Derek Smalls. He also does the voices of Principal Skinner, Dr. Hibbert, Ned Flanders, Mr. Burns, Lenny, Otto, Kent Brockman, and a bunch of others.

[DarkTirade]

135. And he's also a frikkin' genius, IMO. :P

[robertpaulsen]

128. Treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

129. "You know, it's just that people like this... you know... they get all they want so...

...they really don't understand, you know... about a life like Frank's. I mean, when you've loved and lost the way Frank has, then you, uh, you know what life's about."

[NC_Nurse]

131. Sir Dennis Eaton-Hogg. He started a summer camp for pale young boys.

"Tap Into America!"

[Dr. Strange]

136. What's this? A Spinal Tap tribute band?

[quip]

137. More like a rip-off

"Smell the Glove"???? That's dumb. They should have riffed on one of the older band names, like New Originals, or something. The Thames bois. I don't know. I don't like it. You kids get off of my yard! :grr:

[Dr. Strange]

138. Well, they could have called themselves The New Originals, but what's the point?

Personally, I like Spinal Cap.

[quip]

139. I forgot to post my new favorite Tap quotation, so I'll do it now:

David: ...sort of look, this is Nigel. He’s...he’s uh... Capricorn. Sort of a goat look.

BAAAH!!!ELEVENS!!

:rofl:

[Dr. Strange]

140. Oh hell, how could we have missed that one?

:evilgrin: <-- Capricorn horns

:thumbsup:

[quip]

141. Well, it was in the stars

And that devil grin smilie can doble from being "Jim", to a pev goat! :thumbsup:

[TZ]

142. I just noticed something

How funny is it that you are talking about a goat, and then to express your humor you go" Baaah"?!
You really are a randy old goat (and a twisted old fruit too).:)

[quip]

143. Me:
