Coffee With Rossini

I think that this bulletin board could be created in two basically different ways. The first way would be to use the dialogue written on the coffee cups as a question and answer type thing. So each cup would have an interview question and an answer. The second way to do this would be to put Rossini quotes at each of the cups. I suppose if you had extra time, you could design each quote separately with unique colors, fonts and pictures so it looked like a real novelty coffee cup. For those of you with less time, you could just write or type them on plain paper. For neat 3D effects try stapling an empty donut box to the bottom, a couple of packs of artificial sweetener, maybe some empty cups and napkins from your local coffee shop and ...voila!

Some Rossini quotes that you may find suitable:

"Give me a laundry list and I will set it to music."

"Thou knowest, O Lord, as well as I, that really I am only a composer of opera buffa."

"Delight must be the basis and aim of this art. Simple melody-clear rhythm!"
