Marty: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel: These go to eleven.
okay, this is getting a bit ridiculous. it's incredible to me how far this little bit of trivia from the christopher guest mockumentary, this is spinal tap, has travelled. first it was the hipster handbook, whose "top-10" lists go up to 11 and now even merriam-webster is getting in on the comedic action (cached here, if they happen to change the homepage).
my roommates and i joke sometimes about how one day all these catch phrases we throw around are going to lose their connection with some actual event or piece of media, at least in our minds. then they'll be like the phrases that our parents use whose source no one can remember.
(thanks to 50cups for the heads up)
Posted by andy at September 12, 2003 09:00 AMHey Andy... what's your email? I was wondering if you could do me a (small?) favor... but I thought I'd send you an email about it rather than type it here.
sorry I can't seem to find yours.
my email is: ideolog-AT-mail-DOT-com
