View Full Version : 04.21 [Th weekly] DEUS EX MACHINA : ALIAS@Nation : DnB+Breaks : OPEN BAR
johntab
2005-04-15, 12:30 PM
in theater, an apparently insoluble crisis solved by the intervention of a god, often brought on stage by an elaborate piece of equipment. This "god from the machine" was literally a deus ex machina.
Few modern works feature deities suspended by wires from the ceiling, but the term deus ex machina is still used for cases where an author uses some improbable (and often clumsy) plot device to work his or her way out of a difficult situation. When the cavalry comes charging over the hill or when the impoverished hero is relieved by an unexpected inheritance, it's often called a deus ex machina.
and congrats to moody moore + locks -- 1st place and muramasa + hitoi -- 2nd place
next week's line-up includes:
john tab + darkenetiks
sunken funk aka nysus + moove
inflictz + isobaric w/ mc concept
deeper by design aka rich edward + joe l
see you guys tonite at cubik for spirit and felix da housecat....

ah, but check out a portion of this italian-american (not genuine italian) slang glossary that i found.
i think we should change the term "haters" to "sfacime". and apparently they didn't like guys of my persuasion too much either (see below) :ontome:-- at least in post-roman/pre-catholic times.... :velvet:

i think we should change the term "haters" to "sfacime".
so wait, how exactly do you pronounce that??
is there a silent f or a silent s???

I still stand by the 'tea at high noon' party theme. Scones, crumpets, petit fours, a fruit platter and....I don't know....long islands.
for an alias theme or another party? :ponder:
we could call it "tea at full moon" -- all sorts of references could be drawn from that plus how many words can you think that rhyme with "tea"??? :ANden:

i'm pretty sure you pronounce it "SFA-chee-meh"
everyone likes to overdo italian accents and put the emphasis on the last syllable, but i'm pretty sure you leave it on the first syllable. like for "focaccia" you say "FO-kach-cha"
so class, repeat after jessi, "SFA-chee-meh".....

actually the plural of sfacime i think would be "sfacimi" you don't add "s" in italian to make plurals like you do english, spanish and french.

:no: ...it's traditional to accent the second syllable, with some exceptions.
Anyway. This is how I feel about missing Alias again http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/traurig/sad-smiley-003.gif
