That crazy SAPIGŪ

SAPIG Trivia:  Way back before the Internet was cool - like in the mid-90s - SAPIG had a website called PRoNG - the People’s Republic of North Garneau.  The PRoNG itself was about 120 feet by 60 feet, contained one house with a variable population, and was the location of many famous house parties.  I believe SAPIG currently subsidizes their formidable alcohol budget with the monthly extortion payments extracted to prevent publication of photos from those parties.

Sadly, PRoNG was conquered by a local real estate agent, sending SAPIG into exile in their current (undisclosed) location. 

I think SAPIG should create a new PRoNG blog.

  1. I agree, I also think SAPIG should publish those photos promptly. I mean Marc, how am I going to throw a proper house party, if I don’t know how it’s done right.

  2. Marc, we’ve been through this.  It is *never* acceptable to write “ its’ “.  Period.  There is no occasion in which that is the grammatically correct choice.  Do not *ever* make that mistake again.

  3. Bah, humbug.  I think its’ should be the proper plural possessive form of it, like “the singers’ voices”.  You should be sympathetic to my futile crusade, being that it is a) a crusade and b) futile.

    That said, the form of its in use above is a bit tricky to determine, as it’s hard to figure out if SAPIG should be referred to as a plural (the mythical 7 members) or a singular (1 group).

  4. "Their” is the proper plural possessive form of “it”.

    Here’s the end result of having 300 of your closest friends over for a Hallowe’en party circa 1989.

  6. Ah, their. Right.

  7. Despite my efforts, I was never invited to one of those parties.  *sniff*.  But I do trade in incriminating photos.  Perhaps the extant members of SAPIG would like to trade some early “I’m still learning photoshop and I need pics of one strange-looking dude” handiwork for unretouched party snaps.

  8. SAPIG’s location, while undisclosed, is not unknown.  Incidentally, any luck renting out that basement suite yet?
