My Dad always told me, “If you’re going to write an opus, be sure it’s the best opus you can write.”

Actually, he was talking about washing the car...


I like it!

One should refer to Libbylu’s opera, it is the gold standard.

You are all freaking low class jerks. The Heidi thread has been pulled multiple times. Free Republic has become trump derangement central. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BUNCH OF CONSERVATIVES SO PICKY, PETTY AND STUPID - STUPID FREAKING LOSERS YOU DAMN DEFEND TRUMP AS IF HE WERE A FREAKING BABY BECAUSE HE IS! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL.

The plural of which would be Pria

Put on some sad music. I recommend "Mandy" by Barry Manilow. If you don't have that, then put on "Muskrat Love". That one always makes me cry.

A great song to stimulate opus writers on FR would be Mean to Me by Ruth Etting

You're mean to me.
Why must you be mean to me?
Gee, honey, it seems to me,
You want to see me crying.

I think I might enjoy the picture you posted a lot more if I understood it. Is that a military training exercise, and what are those things he is rolling on? Those look like raw hamburger patties on the top of the smaller green discs.

“maybe a lil body english for style points tho”

That generated a hilarious mental image.

Also made me think of a scene from the movie Six-Pack. I believe Terk was in the scene...

To me, opera is just some people putting themselves on a stage and waving their arms around and screaming something that nobody understands.

Seems to me that you would fit right in with Obama's Administration putting down Western Civilization and Culture.

A most=needed tutorial!

If you’re going out, why not go with a flourish of well-chosen words rather than just smarting-off in a random thread and getting the zot?

A cardiac episode will visit her soon. She became exhausted from that outburst.

I have exactly two FR posts bookmarked, JimRobs dissertation on the conservatism of Trump, and LibbyLus “damnation” is the other!

Pesky thing keeps sneaking back in, like ants at a picnic...

I love a good Western.

Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Seinfeld.

The last time I bumped a vanity, I used charcoal on the bulletin board, and shipped it to Fresno Pony Express.

Bookmarked!!

Excellent post - thanks for the laughs. Unfortunately, I fear that the huge wave of opus writing has already passed. (Hence the return to civility around here.)

I wish most would follow dear libbylu’s opus - meltdowns like that are memorable! (And hilarious.)
