Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Happy birthday, Hil!

I can't believe I had to explain watersports to someone on Gawker. Don't they have interwebs orientation anymore?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Birthday Happies, Hil!

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

Happy Birthday, Hil!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Jess! Do you have a relative in the Cincinnati area named Sally? A friend apparently knows her. (I found this out last night, and when he said her last name, I was all, "Waaaaait a minute. WORLDS ARE COLLIDING.")

Because books.

Happy birthday, Hil!

If it's the same Sally, that's my mom's first cousin. Does she have a sister named Lela?

If it's the same Sally, that's my mom's first cousin.

Has a farm? Or lives in a rural area? (I didn't catch all the details.) My friend has his own machine shop, and I think he builds things for her.

t edit I don't know about a sister. My friend just mentioned her name and that she lives out in a rural area, sort of off the grid.

That sounds like her! [edit, and she spells it Sallie]

Here's a mention of her farm in Cincinnati Magazine (scroll down):

That has to be her, based on the location. Small world, man. (Also, I eat at several of the restaurants she supplies. That's pretty cool.)
