No, Mellie, as far as opussies go (plural of ‘opus’ is what?) it’s not a bad one, even though it’s not particularly gay!

Technically it’s ‘opera’, but who cares about spelling on an opus thread?

First reflex would be 'opi', but that's the headmaster latin teacher smacking me in the head reflex.

I thought the plural of opus was pussy galore.

I have never encountered "racist" comments here, except when libs or Islamists are quoted. I think the Amish comments are great irony. Freepers are the most informed and smartest people I have ever met.

In Latin, it's "opera," but in English, "opuses" is OK.

I'm curious as to why a farewell message is called an "opus" on this board--perhaps it indicates that all of a member's postings are now a completed work. However, I would suggest that "valediction" be used instead of "opus."
