In an effort to explain the name of my blog

  • Artikel

I tried to explain the name of my blog recently and failed miserably at conveying the humor.

I should have said "most blogs play on ten, mine's one louder". I guess my stand up career is over.

And I also can't explain why I think this is hilarious yet Napoleon Dynamite? Not so much. I'm pretty sure it was a moment in time thing.

    You could've said "goes to 11" It always amazes me how some things become a part of pop culture long after the move itselft fades from general consciousness.

    Maybe we could hear it if you recorded it in doubly.  Everything's better when you record it in doubly. If I remember correctly, HLH liked "One Louder" not only for the Spinal Tap joke, but also because her blog makes the blogosphere one voice louder.  A double entendre.

    Yeah, yeah, and because you can't dust for vomit. OK, now I need to stop.

    when this came across my reader, the video wasn't there.  and all i could think of was spinal tap! tell me, was the person you were trying to explain this to very very young?  because maybe something got lost in the translation there, surely. ;-) i love the spinal tap reference. what a great movie. i'm gonna have to go over to netflix now. all the best! deb

    No, not very, very young, but younger than me. I sounded ridiculous trying to explain it. It's like trying to describe the mona lisa (or Stonehenge...haha). Something gets lost in the translation. As for my own comedic skills, I'm more spontaneous funny than funny in my delivery. I shouldn't try to explain such a masterpiece as Spinal Tap.

    well heather, you and i are about the same age.  so to mr. almost-30, you're young.  maybe not very, very.  but still young.  (in my world, anyone younger than my baby brother, who is in his 30s is very very young.  ha) and i dunno.  the cowbell bit is really funny.  it's a toss-up. all the best! deb
