The Anti-Opus
Original Content | 11/4/2026 | By Laz A. Mataz

Posted on 11/04/2026 11:04:05 AM PST by Lazamataz

Hi folks. I'm Anti-Opusing, that is to say, I departed FR for a while, and this marks my return. I'm not a big believer in Opusing. I consider it a demonstration of outsized ego. Opuses are routinely mocked, and they should be.

So instead of Opusing, I just quietly stopped posting (while contacting everyone on my ping lists so I could stay in touch).

Frankly, Anti-Opusing might show outsized ego, too. I mean, who the heck am I? The forum did just fine without me. And another frank admission: I actually enjoyed my time away from the forum. I've been a consistent poster since 1999. This is the first time in DECADES that I stayed off FR. It was refreshing, really.

I won't go too deep into why I bailed for a while, except to say there is one Admin Mod who was quite insulting. I don't need to put up with that.

This Anti-Opus has a dual purpose: One, to inform my friends I'm back, and also to relay a meme I created as regards yesterday's severe and surprising defeat. Yeah, I expected we'd get destroyed in an explosion, but I expected TNT, not a nuclear weapon.

Okay. On to the meme. Enjoy and pass it around.

Hey Laz, good to see you back here. I’m hoping that this election debacle will lead to some more civilized discourse instead of what has been the usual banter lately.

Okay, but the big question is ... did you ever hit it?

Good to see you back. It will clear a few things up.

New FR members saw the common phrase “Would Laz hit it?” and were wondering if this Laz was some kind of mythical creature.

😀

We can only hope Trump does what he said, and veto every single thing they send him

We could have hoped. But then Trump said this last night....

“We'll work with the Democrats, and we'll, you know, look forward to working with them. We'll probably work something out,”

The riots next summer should be spectacular. They just need to find their ”sacrifice” to get things rolling.

Thank you for this timely anti-octopus.

Now that everyone knows more about you, it’s clear that even Laz would not hit you.

Unless “hit” is meant literally.

There were many posts up with photos about “alledged women” and there was no expert “hitability” grade. I almost lost my connection to reality. I am not sure what disorder that would have been called, Maybe “Bad Feline Recognition Disorder”.

I was wondering why all the women were more available?! Of course…Laz was not here! Looks like back to celibacy now that Laz is back ;-(
