Resurrecting history pt. 1

January 16, 2005
Tauaarau Marae, Ruatoki
Tame Iti, wearing what appeared to be a skirt, a trooper’s cap and a FREE TAME ITI tee-shirt (or is that t-shirt, one can never remember), discharges a double-barrelled shotgun into the New Zealand flag. He then calls in his air support -- the DragoAngel of Attractive Home Lighting Solutions -- which arrives, swoops down and lifts Iti into the sky, allowing him to reload and get in another couple of good shots at the destroyed flag. The DragoAngel then whisks Tame Iti away to their base deep in the Ureweras.

UPDATE: Note (to self, as much as anyone), it's TAME Iti, not "Tama Iti". Sheesh.

I really like that, especially the "Free Tame Iti" t-shirt. But is the DragoAngel of Attractive Home Lighting Solutions a deus ex machina thrown in to save the day, or is it secretly the hero of the piece?

(One properly spells it T-shirt, but I like a lower-case t, and I think tee-shirt is an acceptable variant.)

Definitely not a deus ex machina. They're friends and comrades in war and karaoke.

It's a style thing. There are many acceptable variants, but t-shirt with a lower case t fits best with the modern style that limits initial caps.
