Last summer there was something going on in the park and during soundcheck the guy said "TEST.... 1... 2.... syphilis.... syphilis... test....". It was extremely confusing... :shock:


Either you mis-heard him or he was making a joke based on Tom Hanks' appearance on Saturday Night Live about twenty-something years ago. Hanks played Garth's cousin (Wayne & Garth of the "Wayne's World" skit), who was a roadie for Aerosmith.

He set up the mics and checked them by saying, "Testing...Testing...1...2...sibilance, sibilance..."

Sibilance is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibilant_consonant

Actually, it's a pretty good way to test a mic--the word "Sibilance" has so many plosives and frictives that you can tell if the mic is going to make you sound like Sylvester the Cat (Sthufferin' Sthuccatash!") when you say "s" or "p" sounds.

Since you are a teenaged Australian, I have no idea if you have ever seen the old Saturday Night Live skits...the time of Hartman, Myers, Carvey, Spade, Miller, Dunn, Hooks, Rock, Farley...greatness.


I' not Australian.... and yes, 90s SNL was the greatest. Chris Farley had some of the greatest skits of all time.

100% positive I wasn't mishearing him though, the several friends with me also heard it, and a few people there also had this "wut :shock: " look on their faces :lol:

BTW: when is someone going to complain about everyone hijacking this thread? I think it's a disgrace.

Wow, what a trip from New Zealand. Great you enjoyed München that much.
Some places on earth are definitely worth a trip, New Zealand is on my list.
