The first thing a good opus needs is that beginning line. The Opus Headline. Perhaps we can all come up with some real doozies in an effort to assist those who might be contemplating an opus in the future. After all, opus people, you have to consider your audience. You don’t want to bore them. “I am leaving Free Republic. Good bye,” is a headline that just doesn’t do it. It doesn’t excite us. It doesn’t pull us in. Go out in a wild, blaze of glory of hugh (yes, I meant hugh) proportions! Come up with something clever! Something amazing! Something that will get you a high score!

I kinda like this (picture Khan): “…from Hell's heart, I stab at thee! For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!”

Now that’s dramatic! That shows feeling!

So, Freepers, what would be the first line your opus (if you ever decide to write one)?

Disclaimer: this is for purely entertainment purposes to get away from the doom and gloom of the news for a while, and should not in any way be construed as a real opus.

I’m fixin to saturate this place with my absence.

For me... an appropriate one from Hamlet (to Ophelia)

I did love thee once.

A wise man keeps his mouth closed and is thought a fool.
A fool opens his and removes all doubt.

“This is not an opus, but ...”

[razorback-bert]

It was a dark and stormy time.

Hold my beer and watch this...

[alarm rider]

My opus would begin:

Goodby cruel FR. Nobody actually loves me, I am not getting enough respect, I have had it with the magic underwear jokes. The give and take has become the bump and run, the birdie has become the bogie, I am done.

I don’t want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

[publius911]

“Freepers! Look at me when I talk to you, and lend me your ears, you blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!

[PastorBooks]

It was the worst of times, it was the worst of times.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

First (or maybe last) line of my opus.

Sometimes it's better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness.

I am through cursing.

[fatima]

I like I’ll never be back and then you answer every post that responds:)I mean this in good faith.I understand frustrations but most always come back.

“I should never have fallen asleep in the Religion Forum. I woke up packed in ice with a note pinned to my shirt saying my kidneys had been removed.”

[Revolting cat!]

Come smell my carcass, I’m dead.

“I’ve been a member here since 1867 and it’s never been this bad. Jim Robertson is out of control. This is worse than Hiroshima. I hope Obama declares Marshall Law”

What a Long Strange Trip It’s Been

[patton]

“it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”

(Probably already taken.)

[contrarian]

My Opus.....By CONTRARIAN....... STOP ME IF YOU HAVE HEARD THIS ONE....

[DainBramage]

After careful study of the Higgs Bosun particle

I have come to the conclusion that matter doesnt size

and that there is much more value in the motion of the Bosun

therefore I have chosen to move on

and use my now highly valued talents elsewhere.

Goodbye to those less talented here on FR.
