Step No. 21 - Start a Twitter meme about modified opera names

File this under juvenile. Often while in my teens one of my brothers and I amused ourselves modifying music lyrics to be kind of dirty. We did the same with movie and book titles. Now that we're grownups we can work to modify other titles. We've a whole life of experiences with wordplay and assimilating the (somewhat) mundane opera culture in music school.

Recently I issued a challenge on both Twitter and Facebook to modify opera titles to make them more 'boring.' Take up the challenge with your cultural product of choice.

I've included the complete list of boring opera names after the jump.

Dristan und Isolde;
