				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is our extreme displeasure to report that we witnessed what was probably the greatest competition related tragedy since figure skating in the mid-nineties.  The Hippo House, delighted at her recent engagement took to the stage at the Rio Theatre to announce the nuptials only to be met by a callous and unfeeling audience.</p>
<p>The Hippo House did her best to maintain her composure but eventually the overbearing audience wore her down and she fled into the night.  Her whereabouts are currently unknown.  Anyone who sees the whimpering beastess about town is urged to not attempt apprehending her as she is wounded, frightened, and a slightly rosier shade of gentile aqua than normal and may lash out if approached.  Call your local animal control dispatcher and maintain your distance.</p>
<p>Baron Von Tone, on hearing about the behaviour of the plebes and parasites who inhabit the sticky cauldron across the street from Uncle Fatih&#8217;s pizza promised swift and disproportionate retaliation for anyone  he encounters at the wedding wearing skinny jeans and wide rimmed glasses.  So I guess we have a dress code now&#8230;. hopefully we still have a bride.</p>
<p>The following is a short clip taken by a concerned citizen before things turned brutally ugly.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Immaculately manicured inhabitants of the global pornography repository,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The Hippo House has made it clear to several staff whom are now in traction, that she desires not only your presence at the wedding, but your <em>presents</em>.  Her generous nature has also allowed us to offer a TWO DOLLAH discount on cover charge at her wedding.  The only stipulation is that the present <span style="text-decoration: underline;">must be either wrapped or have a pretty bow</span>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<address style="text-align: center;"><em>The following is an op-ed piece by Shandi Tackalier and in no way represents the views of OperaFeHk</em>.</address>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1><a href="http://www.operafehk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Shandi.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-67 alignleft" style="margin: 0px 15px;" title="Shandi" src="http://www.operafehk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Shandi.jpg" alt="" width="170" height="140" /></a></h1>
<h1></h1>
<h1></h1>
<h1></h1>
<h1>&#8220;To my not-so-esteemed colleagues&#8230;.</h1>
<p>&#8230;I write these words as I lay sweaty and naked beside one of the most breathtakingly bearded beauties I&#8217;ve ever had the good fortune of soiling a mattress with. Since last Wednesday&#8217;s upset at the Revenge Of The Debris, I&#8217;ve replaced said soiled mattress with several bags of hate mail directing me to alternatively kill myself, kill  Justine and THEN kill myself, and pick up my inheritance from my royal relations in Nicaragua. Here are some excerpts:</p>
<p><em> &#8220;A horrifying melee of exhibitionism. I&#8217;ve never seen such a disgusting spectacle.&#8221; &#8211; Anonymous</em></p>
<p><em> &#8220;That creature really should see someone about its deformity.&#8221;  &#8211; 9 out of 10 doctors</em></p>
<p><em> &#8220;The musicians&#8217; &#8211; such as they were &#8211; preoccupation with irrelevancies like </em><em>mustard, martinis, and the fate of the unlovable hippo house was detrimental to </em><em>the overall spirit of the evening.&#8221; &#8211; The Arkham Star</em></p>
<p>The mis-informed consensus seems to be that, somehow, the competition was rigged. Let me assure you that we had taken every possible precautionary oversight and any bias detected probably reflects the taint on the beholder&#8217;s own emotional jetsam.</p>
<p>The best advice I&#8217;ve gotten so far is that next time we must remember to kill the whole cast at the end of the show. After all, this IS Opera.</p>
