The old saying is that an Opera isn't over until the fat lady sings.

I quickly scanned over that article... made me larf to read several quotes from Opera blaming her weight problems on a galaxy of wrong theories she's had.

Oi... LARD-ARSE! Do some goddamned EXERCISE and eat correctly - that means lay off the carbohydrates, ya mangy man hating land-whale.

Cut her some slack. The poor woman is referred to as "Opal" on OFF and is referred to as "Opera" in this ng. Isn't that punishment enough?

Going off at a tangent...

If OTOH, you like slim, extremely attractive opera/classical singers, watch out for Katherine Jenkins who will be attempting to break the US market next year...

Are you sure it isn't something else growing? In your crotch?

Those "Celtic Women" on PBS, who should be called the "Cleavage Women", turn me on.

Your sarcasm detector may be in working order, but your double entendre locator seems to be on the fritz.

Yes, yes - in my crotch!

Yar, didn't Captain McAlister once refer to Selma and/or Patty as "land whales"? I cannot find the reference at www.snpp.com.

Yar, I don't know what I'm doing.
