re: '¡No pare, sigue, sigue!' Feb 21
2008, 09:58:58 PM
I understand all of that, my confusion was as to why one verb was an Ud. command ("No pare") and one was a "tu" command("sigue"). However, that assumes they are both true commands (I figured so because of the context) and not just part of an idiomatic expresion, in which case anything goes!
What javero was saying also makes sense, but I guess I wasn't expecting to see it on the shirts since the s-dropping is a spoken nuance, and it's not universal.

Thanks, all.
I didn't think anything of it when I heard the expresion spoken and sung in the show, as "pare" and "sigue" slur together regardless of whether there's an "s" or not. It was when I saw the phrase printed on the t-shirts that I started thinking about the grammar of it.

"¡No pare, sigue, sigue!" Feb 21
2008, 04:07:18 PM
I saw IN THE HEIGHTS last night and ADORED it, but I have a question about the tagline.
Isn't the correct command -if we're sticking with "tu"- "¡No pares, sigue, sigue!" ? Or, perhaps, "¡No pare, siga, siga!" if we're dealing with "Ud."?
Or is "¡No pare, sigue, sigue!" just a colloquial expression?
I know this is nit-picky, but I was curious...

Leaving SALTIMBANCO (one of Cirque du Soleil's touring shows) last night:
Man: That was good! You know, I think Cirque du Soleil has another show...
Woman: Oh really? There are two? I wonder what the other one's like!
(Inlcuding both resident and touring shows, Cirque has 14 currently playing productions)

re: CORPORATE WHORE - Susan Blackwell Love Thread Dec 8

I saw her last night at the High Fideity opening! I didn't realize it was her until afterward though. I remember walking by and thinking, "That looks like Susan Blackwell..."
Now I wish I would've gone over and talked to her.

LOOOOVE your Megan avatar, Soapy.
I've always been tempted to use that pic as an av, but it's not truly Karen so I decided against it.

It goes to b'way in December after it's run in Boston.
I've never seen the movie however, so I couldn't tell you if they're bastardizing it or not, Spidey! I'll have to watch it now...

Jimmy Fallon... Mar 20
2006, 09:01:37 PM
I like this:
"Jimmy Fallon is going to play as..."
and
"We interviewed him and this is what he said:"
If you're going to fake a press release, as least phrase it to sound somewhat professional.

I'm about a 3 hour car ride from Cinci, but I'm not able to make it down there while Company's running.
So close, but yet so far...
