Spinal Tap Fans

[RallyeMike]

If you are a fan of this movie you may recall the scene where the marquee had the puppet show billed above Spinal Tap at the low point of their popularity.
When I raced with MKM at the last Gamblers run, I nearly fell down laughing when I saw this marquee outside the hotel.....

" I told them, Spinal Tap on top, then Puppet show..."

"These go to eleven... that's one louder."

Okay. Trivia time. How did the first three Spinal Tap drummers meet their ends?

1 gardening accident
2 choked on vomit, (although it was never determined whose vomit it was, as "you can't really dust for vomit")
3 spontaneous human combustion onstage, leaving a small green slime on his drum throne.

1. Spontaneous combustion,

2. Drown in vomit (his own or anothers?)

3. uh.... fell off his drum kit?

Well it was more of a globule, really.

I have to admit, I have seen the movie about a million times.  I dressed up as Nigel Tufnel (with cold sore) 3 times for halloween over the years.

Nobody ever remembers the first drummer. Technically, I believe it was "some sort of bizzarre gardening accident".

It's probably been ten years since I've watched it.

No, but there was another band - don't remember which one, one of those horrible REO Totosupply-types - whose drummer died from an allergic reaction to a pesticide he used in his garden. A bizarre gardening accident indeed.
