What’s Opera Doc?
After Keyser posted his piece regarding David Caruso yesterday (Keyser’s way in over his head, DC fans are rabbid), Dmorris commented something to the fact that he was excited because he thought the post was going to be about the great Enrico Caruso. Cudgel then chimed in, wondering if Enrico Caruso was the same man who starred in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Dmorris then responded that yes, Caruso was indeed that man.
For the record, Dmorris and Cudgel are out of their minds on Elmers glue. I’m nearly positive that Enrico, David, or otherwise, have never been associated in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. I’m also nearly certain that the Bugs cartoon Dmorris and Cudgel are talking about is called “What’s Opera Doc? (Kill the Wabbit).”
What’s Opera Doc? is a parody of a Richard Wagner opera. Sometimes it’s called Kill the Wabbit, from a line Fudd sang in the cartoon (Kill the Wabbit comes from Ride of the Valkyries.)
Other than What’s Opera Doc? is one of the best cartoons ever made, I know nothing else about it.
Dmorris was excited when he thought Enrico Caruso was being talked about on these pages, I’m sure he will now be spurting yogurt now that he sees Mitchieville is introducing operatic genius in What’s Opera Doc?
Thank me? No, thank you.

Well. First, let me say this is the finest post ever on Mitchieville, class, pure class.
Secondly, neither Cudgel nor I, get high on Elmer’s glue, which is water based, you silly person. No, we glue sniffing connoisseurs use Lepage’s Model Airplane glue, full of ketone and other chemicals guaranteed to fuck your brain cells.
Thirdly, the Bugs Bunny cartoon we were talking about is the one where BB gets into a conflict with an opera singer, then dresses as the Maestro, and conducts the singer in high opry, forcing him to hold the final note while his face turns red, his buttons pop, the stage setting start to crumble, and finally the whole building collapses!
THAT, was Caruso. Not “David the Stalked”, but ENRICO, the Man!
btw, if this goddamn site had more like the above, maybe I could hold my head up high at the bloggers annual ball again! “Mitcheiville?”, fellow bloggers will ask,”blog award finallists, were they?”
My shamefaced answer,” uh, well, not THIS year”, usually is answered by an utterly condescending,”OH, REALLY!, and I spend the night wallflowered, an associate of one of the many “also-rans”, while Raymi’s crowd laughs it up and swills the wine of victory!
