I have to go to the opera tonight

[terry78]

One of our customers, basically my customer, is flying in today to look at the corporate office, and is a fan of the opera. My boss suggested that we set up tickets for them to go see La Traviata at the Lyric Opera House here in the city, and decides, "Terrence, you need to go with them since they're your customer."

Not really a fan of the genre, nor have I ever been. But she wants to go, and it could mean much more money for us if she enjoys it, so whatever. Wish me luck.

"I'm surprised to see black people going to operas."

 

[terry78]

As am I.

M-effer, where's my Playbill?

 

[Carcharodon]

???

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Ah man, that's depressing.

 

[AhabTheArab]

isnt that a conflict of interests? taking them to the opera and what not...

 

[WorthyStevens]

Just remember to tell her that the money goes on the dresser drawer when she leaves.

 

[Jack Rabbit]

Don't yell advice to the characters on stage, terry. They can actually hear you.

 

[Abaddon]

make sure to wear a monocle

[Addendum]

Scalp your tickets

 

[KevanG]

Make sure to bring the big fuzzy finger and foghorn to show your support. Also if you get a balcony seat you have to drop things from above onto people below you. If you don't then they'll kick you out and give your seats to other people... And most importantly don't forget to sing along.

 

[terry78]

If it means more money for me, then I'll do it. Yes, I am that shallow.

 

[Addendum]

Bring a pillow and blanket

 

[Jack Rabbit]

Are you going to dress up? Is it seriously a formal thing?

 

[Kritish]

"I'm surprised to see black people going to operas."

Me too.

Are you going to dress up? Is it seriously a formal thing?

Nah, people these days go to the opera in faded jeans and Metallica shirts.

 

[Addendum]

Where are these happy people going to?

The local anime convention? Hell no! They're going to see Parsifal bit*h!

 

[Jack Rabbit]

Nah, people these days go to the opera in faded jeans and Metallica shirts.

For reals?

I don't have any nice clothes anymore.

Just, like, dress uniforms.

****.

^I'm pretty opened minded, unlike the rest of this Philestines in here.

I'll end up talking like Niles and Frasier.

"Your mother is so corpulent, that when she sits around the magnificently appointed Tuscan villa, she sits AROUND the magnificiently appointed Tuscan villa."

 

[MYSTERY]

God help you!

I'd love to hear someone use that...and then the crowd would go "OOooooH...That's cooold!"

Just make sure you take your beer in a can.

Tried to find the clip where Bart and Homer make fart noises and joke about the fat lady, but here's something close enough....
