So, I went back in my email and found a notification of a comment. 'Twas a comment on the five things meme, but that comment doesn't display when you look at the post. Or at least, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. I don't remember it being there, and I'd think I would.
Anyway, here's Five things that can't be made into an opera.
1. Changing the litterbox. The problem with this challenge is that most things you suggest, the immediate reaction is either, "No, I could do that! It'd be lame, but I could do it!" or, "I think that's already been done." I'm pretty sure that even still, you can't make changing the litterbox into an opera.
2. Decomposition of bodies. You might be able to make the spiritual reaction to such decomposition into an opera, and I'm sure you could make the process of becoming bodies into one, because, dude, the entire history of opera. But the actual stages of decomposition? Not so much.
3. The IRS. I put some thought into this one. I'm pretty sure you could make a pretty kitschy musical comedy out of it (called April the 15th and containing at least one Friday the 13th reference), but an opera? I just don't think it would work.
4. The life of a mime. Because, um... Do I really need to explain this?
5. Cardboard. You cannot make an opera out of cardboard.
Not without duct tape, anyway.
