clemlaw Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I guess that's pretty much what it boils down to. With regard to epi...epi...ep.....threads with someone's name in them, do we allow a little bit of clemency? Or do we follow the letter of the law?

NJCubScouter Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Clemency for the poster, not for the threads. Nobody is being punished here. And yes, I do "get it", but I think this little joke has run its course. Either that, or I am too tired to think of some clever wordplay about Cub Scouting in New Jersey.

OldGreyEagle Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Clemenza, wasn't he one of the Godfather's lieutenants? Along with Sal Tessio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJCubScouter Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Yes, OGE, although Clemenza and Tessio are specifically referred to as "caporegimes" (or "capos") rather than the more generic "lieutenant". I'd also note that although Richard Castellano (Clemenza) is no long with us, Abe Vigoda (Tessio) is still around at the age of 89 -- old, grey, but as far as I know, not an Eagle. (I know I said the joke has run its course, but as long as we're still punning here, I couldn't resist.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGreyEagle Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 and still fading back to toss a pass to Betty White in the Snickers commercial as far as being sadistic, hippophilic necrophiles, we do it so often perhaps there should be an unwritten rule against it? a written rule? Nah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acco40 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Anyone know Italian? caporegimes (or "capos") To effect guitar tuning, one uses a capo. Does anyone know the word origins for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJCubScouter Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I don't know Italian, but through the magic of the Internet I know that "capo" is Italian for "head". It's clear enough that "caporegime" is head of the regime (or organization). For the relationship between "head" and the thing that goes on the guitar, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capo.
