How long have we known each other, like 15 years now? ...and I never knew that. :blink:

I'm glad I started this thread.
Back in the Gain Junkies days someone started a similar thread. My reply was a clip from the movie where Viggo was winning the race in the Arabian desert. Interesting side note: Viggo loved the horse he used in the movie so much he kept him.

I had that movie on DVD (or maybe it was VHS) back when it first came out. I watched it a few times before letting my aunt borrow it and she loved it so much I told her to keep it. I haven't seen it since and I barely remember the movie. I did know that about the horse, I even read something about it recently that refreshed my memory.
 
I wish I had an even mildly interesting story to tell about mine, but I'll try these:

Mine is a reference to the fact that I graduated non compos mentis from Public School 37.

No, that's not it.

It's a reference to the fact that I was the world's 37th purchaser of PlayStation.

No, that's not it.

How about when I was 37, I knew Paul Smith before he became Paul Reed Smith?

No, that's not it.

Pete Seeger / Paul Simon / Patti Smith / Paul Stanley still owe me $37?

No, that's not it.


It is, in fact, an important part of an important Book to me.






(But I did actually enjoy getting an opportunity to use the phrase "non compos mentis." :) )

Wav as in a .wav file which is an old school audio file. Mixer as in sound board mixer. Once upon a time I used work in theater production. I had a cassette player wired into the PA system to play sound clips. Some productions I could have 30 or more separate cassette tapes all queued up ready to play at a designated time. After that night's show while the actors were going home, I'd be in the sound booth queueing up the tapes for the next show. This could easily take 1 hour. This was back in the early 1990s.

With the introduction of laptop computers and Microsoft Windows 3.11, I recorded all my sound queues on to my laptop which replaced my cassette deck formerly used to play sound queues. Now while the actors were getting changed into their street clothes, I'd close the lid on my laptop and be the 1st one out the exit.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
