Well you nose what you like.

Fist, Angry God, etc.

Can she "play some Skynyrd, man?"

Being married to an opera singer, i'm getting a kick out of these replies.

Being married to a kick boxer, I'm somehow getting opera from these replies.

well, fancy music related...

to thousands and all you can do is scratch it."

Tucci: Would hit like a stentorian low E from the mouth of Zarathustra himself.

Huh?

 
Wolfmanjames [TotalFark] 2008-01-26 01:17:50 PM  
I'd let her share some of Meyerbeer.

/Got nuttin!

Dougal: Here's one; how do you get to Carnegie Hall?
Ted: Practice.
Dougal: What?
Ted: That's that old joke "How do you get to Carnegie Hall - practice".
Dougal: Eh?
Ted: Oh, I see... You'd have to go to New York Dougal.
Dougal: Oh right.

Tucci: Figaro: huh?

stentorian |stenˈtôrēən|
adjective
(of a person's voice) loud and powerful : he introduced me to the staff with a stentorian announcement.

low E


Zarathustra |ˌzarəˈθoōstrə|
the Avestan name for the Persian prophet Zoroaster.
DERIVATIVES
Zarathustrian |-ˈθoōstrēən| adjective & noun

See also: Also Sprach Zarathurstra aka "Theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey".


I was just confused because there is never a singing voice for Zarathurstra. I thought you were confusing Zarastro with Zarathurstra. That and low e's are usually describe more as voluminous or rattling.

"Thus Spoke Zarathustra"

/finds it hilarious guy with handle "Figaro" wouldn't know an epic opera
reference if it struck him with his spear and magic helmet
//also ironic
///spear and magic helmet from What's Opera Doc?, the best Bugs Bunny
cartoon ever made, only one that won an Oscar
////you're on your own now, tiger, make us proud


What opera is Zarathustra from?

That's a tone poem not an opera.

Like you know the diff.

The question is, would you hit it? And how? (using operatic or claissical music references, please)

/huh?


I would teach her to raise her soft pallet with some meat baton swallowing exercises. I would then proceed on to performing some lip trills probably pitched to the aforementioned low e on her beaver. Finally I would hit her with repeated forte portamento in the cooter.

 
The_Pink_Pimp 2008-01-26 02:25:49 PM  
I would be afraid of damaging her vocal abilities.

But I would still hit it.

just not in the vocal area.

which is fine.


/If I put some tape marks on the bedroom floor will she hit them?

Trust me, lady singers really know how to swallow some cock.

 
LonMead 2008-01-26 03:25:16 PM  
I just wanna help her hit the high notes.

/Prolly wake up the neighbors, tho.

No, and that is why I love her so.

 
Rodeodoc 2008-01-26 05:23:44 PM  
Wow, she's going to perform with Opera Saskatoon! So, who did she piass off? I mean, no one ever asked "How do you get to Saskatoon?", right?

She has sharp elbows

Tucci: Figaro: I would hit her with repeated forte portamento in the cooter.

Thank you! Allow me to suggest a small improvement:

I would hit her with repeated forte portamento in the cooter bass clef with my treble staff.

FTFY

/the preceding bit was full of FAIL however
//so where'd you look all that stuff up exactly?
///you sick vile fahhhkuh
////heh


I am a former opera singer and a voice teacher. I didn't need to look up shiat mister tone poem equals opera. ;-)

From TFA:

There's an old joke about a tourist asking a New Yorker how one gets to Carnegie Hall. "Practise, practise, practise,""Practice, practice, practice," he is told.

I dated someone (many years ago now) that was an opera singer, who probably know this person (as everyone knows everyone in the business, especially when from the same city), and probably despises her for making it further than she did.

One of the most insane person I've ever known, but was model gorgeous at the time.

Who... this made me check if she's still in the business. (She had a web site, using pictures I took when we were together.)

(Here's a thumbnail that still shows in Yahoo...)re3.yt-thm-a01.yimg.com

Web site is gone, but just found a recent picture on another site... dear God...

I am SO glad I got away from that train wreck.
