Let's Write an Opera in Which All Characters are Names of Drugs

[Ellen Forradalom]

Headhead and I started it:

Act I
The good Lord Propecia did gyre and gimble in the attic with his secret mistress, Cialis. But the deed was uncovered when Zyrtec, the maid, caught them unawares in the midst of their tryst. Even worse, Zyrtec soon passed the news onto the evil Count Vicodin, who secretly desired Cialis, though he was married to her sister, Xanax. But Xanax is hopelessly in love with Sir Seconal of the King's 2nd Cavalry...

Act 2
Sir Seconal is killed defending his king and country against the rebellious Earl of Buspar, Warfarin. Xanax wanders aimlessly across moor and heath, over hill and dale, eventually drowning herself in the river Prozac. Count Vicodin joins forces with the Earl of Buspar and opens a full attack on King Thalidomide.....

1. Act 3 starts...

King Thalidomide's mage casts a spell on the citizens of Buspar that causes them to bear children with no arms or legs, just hands and feet hooked to the torso like a set of flippers.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. thanks to the magic of the wizard Effexor the citizens of Buspar

are able to remain relatively calm throughout it all. Sir Valium has also had an effect of magnificnet proportions ;)

[Elidor]

2. If I wasn't currently enthralled by the insidious Benedryl, I would add more to this right away

I foresee a stage play, perhaps off-off-Broadway to start. But the Benedryl is making me quite loopy at the moment. Perhaps you can write him in: Ben Benedryl, a good man of healing who - alas! - makes people quite sleepy at the same time.

4. Every soap needs a brown nose -- Proctofoam is just that guy.

[Aristus]

5. What is this? Joseph and the Amazing Depakote of Many Colors?

6. Lucy, Al, Mary, Nick, Harry, Benny, Barb, Opie, and Cokie went to a party.

7. The battle ends with the birth of Cialis' child, Midol.

[Ellen Forradalom]

8. And there was much Celebrex.
