20061012 This goes to 11

This goes to 11

Maryland Bloggers Alliance grows to 11 members.

October 12, 2006

Remember “Spinal Tap,” and the scene where - - oh, heck; there is a cite from “Spinaltapfan.com,” that explains it better:

Nigel’s key to keeping Tap among England’s loudest bands. In "This is Spinal Tap," he pointed out to director Marty DiBergi that the settings on Tap’s Marshall amps could extend beyond the standard 10 mark.

Nigel: "You see, most blokes will be playing at 10. You’re on 10, all the way up, all the way up...Where can you go from there? Nowhere. What we do, is if we need that extra push over the cliff...Eleven. One louder."

DiBergi: "Why don’t you just make 10 louder and make 10 be the top number, and make that a little louder?"

Nigel (after taking a moment to let this sink in): "These go to 11."

… Nigel's now famous phrase has even been recognized by the Oxford English Dictionary.

Well, with the Maryland Bloggers Alliance: “These go to 11.”

One can only imagine Attila at the Pillage Idiot talking with Soccer Dad and saying: “These go to 11.”

In the last week, the numbers in the ranks of the Maryland Bloggers Alliance has grown by two additional authors, for a total of eleven.

Please join me in welcoming Wade at Free State Politics (http://freestatepolitics.com/fspb/) as the newest member of the Maryland Blogger Alliance.

And just last week, we added Stan at blogger1947 (http://blogger1947.blog-city.com/).

Please take a moment to check out their web sites and enjoy even more points of view and thoughtful insights.
