DownGoesFrazier Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Speaking of the Lady......I was in spinning class a couple hours ago, and the instructor played a recent-sounding song which I obviously didn't know, but really liked. I asked the instructor who the artist was, and he said Lady Ga-Ga. I've been hanging my head in shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM108 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 ...for clearing out all that Lady Ga-Ga nonsense! HUZZAH! HUZZAH! HUZZAH! Sepiatone Agreed, though it was kind of fun while it lasted, and as long as it only lasted as long as it did. And since it only lasted for a few hours, it wasn't nearly as annoying as those endless threads complaining about "non-classic" movies. *Those* threads are in sore need of a roving helicopter equipped with a giant electromagnet to pick them up and drop them in the Atlanta city dumpster as soon as they appear.

Sepiatone Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Finance, You'll have to explain what "spinning" class is. Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swithin Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Yes, Fi, are you taking up spinning on the old Spinning Jenny; or is a Spinning Bike? I hope it's the former. Regarding the Lady in question, I like her, she's a great artist and seems to be a great person. But that invasion of the Board yesterday was disgusting and dishonorable to her, and I do thank our Administrator. Based on what I know about Lady Gaga, I don't think she would want to have been the tool of sabotaging a board of classic film enthusiasts!

DownGoesFrazier Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 "Spinning" is a '90s invention. 15-40 special bikes that can be adjusted to replicate outdoor competitive cycling are put in a closed-off room at the gym. At the front of the room is an instructor on a bike, and the other bikes are filled by members of the spinning class. The instructor blasts loud music and tells the class what to do----e.g., increase the tension on the bike, raise or lower the cadence, stand up, sit down, etc. , for an hour.

Dargo2 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hmmmm...I wonder, finance. Was the inventor of this thing a big Blood, Sweat & Tears fan??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 The inventor of the spinning bike, and the whole concept of spinning, was an Angeleno named Johnny G. I remember that he showed up at a 10K race in Santa Monica, circa 1992, to promote the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo2 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 In that case, do you know if this Johnny G. guy might have AT LEAST been inspired to invent this thing while sighting a..ahem.."directing sign on the straight and narrow(Pacific Coast) highway" section of Santa Monica???

mrroberts Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Isn't "spinning" the same thing as they did in the old movies when an actor sits on a stationary bike and pedals like mad while they project a moving setting on the back screen? I think Red Skelton did that in one of his old comedies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Yeah, but Skelton never experienced the high of spinning to the sounds of Lady GaGa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds more like just "pedaling". Usually, when I go for a "spin" I wind up GOING somewhere! And now, I'm lost as to why it's called a "class". Unless you're learning the limits of your endurance. Anyway, thanks for clearing that up. Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tikisoo Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Good job shutting down spam or threads gone nasty. Only wish you'd "move" threads to their appropriate category like every other message board. I am tired of threads about a film in particular (ie REBECCA) in *General Discussions* instead of *Films & Filmmakers* and inquiries (ie Please ID This Film) in *General Discussions* instead of *Information, Please.* It leaves less room for true "Gerneral Discussions" that often fall to back pages rather than gaining participation as they should.

Sepiatone Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 > (and finance, I had no idea you spun....I'm assuming wool, not the dancing variety) Turns out it's neither, Tiki. Turns out it's riding stationary bikes. And since it's a "class", it must mean he's still learning HOW to! Of course I jest. I suppose calling it "spinning" is more efficient that calling it "pedaling bicycles that go nowhere class". Anyway, I can't really knock it since the most excersize I get is shuffling to the PC every morning to make wise-azz comments on this forum. AND shoveling the ton of snow we just got the last couple of days. Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
