I read that NYT article and thought, "I'd bet money that was billytea's therapist." And I was right! I win at, um, something!
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That's really quite impressive. What gave it away?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Random, trivial question that probably nobody knows the answer to:
If you drop a bottle of soda, how long should you wait before opening it (so it won't foam all over the place)?
Maybe we could guess, and then see who's right....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I saw this linked to with disdain on LJ. well, liked to a page that reproduced it, but everyone on that page seemed suitably horrified. The originating site, however, has a great deal of commentary (3000+ comments).
It's weird, because I don't think of blogs as communities, since they're so driven by the entries, but it's clear that at least for this one entry there is one--not sure (and don't have enough time to find out) if it's the same community that spans more entries of the same blog.
All that having been said, I have a hard time believing the blog entry is serious.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Tommy, give it at least three minutes. When you open it, do it very slowly--just break the seal first to see if it's going to fizz all over.

"Obviously, God does not want us listening to flute music."
This is *clearly* why I never made it as a professional musician.

Also? Open over a sink.

My dad picked up the flute a few years after I gave it up. He was,um, enthusiastic. No pianissimo for him. I'm pretty sure any and all dieties were cringing. Goodness knows the cats were.

Well, if you're gonna argue about the phallic nature of the flute, you also have to look at the trombone. And also the harmonica, which was named after a non-procreative sexual practice....

You don't even put the end in your mouth! Clarinets and oboes are way more phallic.
... It's possible I've had this knee-jerk reaction before.
