Gentlemen: Having studied and seen many opera's, I don't recall leaping men in tights and women in Tutu"s singing Italian Opera or opera of any kind. I think you have the opera mixed up with Ballet. As an after thought, maybe a Ballet written with the dancers
singing and hopping all over the stage branishing a Parker CHE shooting mock pheasants would be a blast. Off this Sunday to see the Makado by Gilbert and Sulliv an.
Thanks to Bruce and friends for the Anne Hathaway clarification- also some of the "re-issued" Shakespeare titles- Opera or Ballet, having some culture of an evening in SD during "Big Rooster" season can't be all that bad. After carrying such a fine assortment of Parkers in various gauges, grades and barrel configurations, plus the ammo exchange in the course of a fine day afield after John Ringneck(s), I know my body and mind would be taxed a tad just keeping things sorted out, so off to the Opera House we shall go. I had heard the line about "Killing the lawyers tonight" somewhere, believe Don Henley alluded to that in his song "Get Over It"-- something like "Old Billy was right, first thing we do is kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight"-but NOT Bruce Day of course-- Also glad James spelled it properly as "mock pheasants" who should be properly grateful to have met their "mock demise" vis a vis a fine CHE Parker- first class exit indeed. Had James spelled it "mock peasants" instead, I might have thought he had been watching old Mel Brooks' "History of the World" the scene with King Louis (you pick the numbers here, you've seen one King Louis, you have seen them all for my $) with a loader and a pair of hammerlock doubles, calling out "Pull" and a peasant gets airborne from a catapault- His Majesty fires off both barrels, the peasant falls, and the great line ensues: "It's good to be King"!!
