Uh... um... well...

OK, did I miss something? I know I'm air-headed, but this one went right by me.

Have you seen the "mockumentary" _This is Spinal Tap_? If you haven't,
you might want to, it's pretty funny. It's about a band (think Led Zep
or some other 70s rock band) and is supposed to be a slice of their
life... touring, making a new album, relaxing, etc... I haven't seen it
in a while so might be recalling incorrectly.

At one point one of the Tap is talking about setting up a studio to
record stuff and talks about how they are going to record in "Doubly".
Someone asks "don't you mean Dolby" and a big row ensues.
I think this is near the point where one band member proudly points to
his amplifier and says "this one goes to 11" which as you might recall
was the tagline to AucZILLA XI...

I can't explain why he spelled it with an R, I am not enough of a
Taphead to know. I do know it's probably in John's top five movie list
though.

Gotta 'huh?' this one too...

Ok, Huh back at you... what is THAT from?

(...) I think it may be because "Spinal Tap" was actually "Spinal Täp" (with umlaut). Or maybe I'm remembering the movie wrong, it's been a long time for me too. best Lindsay (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
