Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Aha...yeah, scrolling down the comments on the original Hairpin article, it looks like a parody. Well that's a relief.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

It makes me think of that article where Vinnie Karthaiser has no toilet

I didn't know it came from the Hairpin. Okay, thank goodness.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yes, parody is a better word than hoax.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

On the fondue discussion from earlier, my mom got me a fondue pot for Chanukah. When we went out to dinner for my birthday, my sister and I got fondue for dessert, and my mom says that I seemed really fascinated by the fondue pot. I don't recall being all that fascinated by the fondue pot -- I was mostly interested in the melty chocolate and things to dip in it. I think I'm going to return the fondue pot -- there's really not much point to fondue without a bunch of people, and I don't have a bunch of people over often enough to make it worth it.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Ha! I did wonder.

I think my favorite comment is this one:

The only thing I was skeptical about was the rent.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I don't doubt there are people living in illegal apartments without plumbing in Brooklyn, but I don't think they would be bragging about it on the Internet.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

For those undecided or shopping, Gizmodo compares the best small tablets.

Looks at Nook, Kindle Fire, iPad Mini, and Google Nexus 7.

Comprehensive and seems fair.
