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.How long have we known each other, like 15 years now? ...and I never knew that.
I'm glad I started this thread.

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.

Good thread, good read.
Mine is a self explanatory play on three heavyweights. Certainly inspirations at one point. But, alas, just for fun.

Reminds me of of queuing the record and tape, putting the tape one pause, turning the recording volume all the way down, lowering the needle, taking the pause off and increasing the volume and hoping everything is good but not knowing until the end of the song so you can rewind and listen
Oh yeah. For sure. If you’re old enough, we’ve all been there done that. Not that far removed from taking your cheap portable cassette player into your car and holding the mic near the speaker so you could record a tune off the AM radio.

I became a huge fan of the Rolling Stones around 1970.
I remember shortly thereafter when the film Gimme Shelter was aired on TV, (probably around 1:00 AM!) and VCR's were unheard of, taking my cheap portable cassette recorder and recording the audio portion of the entire film.
I had to pause whenever there was a commercial, and I had to hope there was a commercial right around the time I needed to flip the cassette.
If I looked thru all my stuff. I might actually have one of those cassettes. Just nothing to play it on right now. Last cassette deck I had for my old stereo died.
Been there, done that.
