Is Opi the plural of Opus... Point of Latin trivia: the plural of opus is opera, which works pretty well in the FR opus sense. In opera, a character walking around with a knife sticking out of her chest will be singing her lungs out for the next quarter-hour.
... and if so, is it any relation to Lutefisk?
Both would seem to be acquired tastes.

We haven't seen a good opus in a while.The last one close was a"non opus" by a long time poster who dropped in after along absence to post a fun thread...It was wonderful.A lot of inactive old posters dropped by with the usual insults.(Don't let the door hit you on the way.. in,this time!)

The primary difference between Film Noir and Grand Opera is that in Film Noir, when a character is stabbed, he (or she) dies, in Grand Opera, he (or she) sings.
