What would the first line of YOUR opus be? (Vanity)

Posted on 07/03/2012 12:49:54 PM PDT by Luna

There have been some dull opuses here at FR. It’s no wonder they’re met with such contempt and ridicule by other Freepers. No one likes boring. We like to be entertained, for crying out loud! Opus people, if you’re going to write an opus, make it worth our while.

(”About Last Night”, 1986. Screenplay adapted by Tim Kazurinsky from SNL and Denise DeClue, from the 1974 play “Sexual Perversity in Chicago” by David Mamet, so the gloriously-filthy-language warning is implied. You have been warned. You’ll have to watch pretty much the entire thing to hear the line, but you’ll know it when you hear it.)

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit I already wrote an opus many years ago. It was the days before 9/11 and the place was crawling with Nazis (they were getting booted off one by one, but there were always plenty posting). I ventured back to FR on 9/11 and have been here ever since, though there were anti-Semites here for a long time after that date as well.

I have no plans to write another opus and sincerely hope I never feel like leaving FR again (and sincerely hope I don't get banned for my misfit opinions), but if I were to do it again today . . . hmm . . . I'm not sure.

Wait a minute . . . I've got an idea . . .

Mashiach HaMelekh is crowned King in Jerusalem and it's not You Know Who. And I say:

NYAH!!!

Hmm...

If you are reading this you already know that the rogue planet is headed directly toward Earth and that every man, woman, child, wombat, and weird-looking bug (hereinafter WLB) is going to die from the complete disintegration of the planet and the subsequent loss of oxygen and water to the vast, implacable vacuum of space. I have only a few seconds before the Mother Ship arrives to beam me off to my home world, but before it does I want to leave the information necessary for you to save yourselves. It's really simple - all you have to do is

That was one the most pathetic opus’ I have ever seen. it was boring and I never got to my own posted response because it was so boring.

Did it get pulled for a lack of entertainment? /S

The best wasn't even an opus, it was a response to an opus:

Ban me to asshole!

Lol! I remember that well!

I remember that. I actually welcomed him nicely.

Didn’t want his preordained genetic disposition to go off like a bomb.

Considering Independence Day is tomorrow, why not copy the greatest Opus letter of all time:

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one person to dissolve the political bands which have connected him with a website and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle him, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that he should declare the causes which impel him to the separation.

And them I express the outrages which King JimRob the First has thrown against me including:

"He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Moderators without the Consent of our legislatures."

"he has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Viking Kitten Savages whose known rule of Zot, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions."

Ping me when you post that, mm-kay?

On second thought.... If you do post that - there’ll be no way to read it. This place will be no place without you.

No, it got pulled because...

Well, you better ask the mod why it got pulled. I’d better not say.

We used to have a FReeper who lived in Iran. He had interesting comments about the Iranian military. Can’t remember his handle now, but haven’t seen any posts from him in years.
