The Referenced Scene from This is Spinal Tap:
Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the
board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see,
most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the
way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where
can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra
push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the
top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause, blank look and snapping chewing gum] These go to
eleven.
"What's our little skeptic doing today?"
"She's frying the cat in new Nesson oil"
(Yeah, some of us DO remember _The Groove Tube_ and _Kentucky Fried
Movie_!)
Very nice construction details... I don't have cool enough words to describe
your project!
I look forward to hearing how it goes...
Cheers!
