An example of why I love Tumblr

[rmd]

Over on Tumblr, a discussion of how the discourse around "Baby, It's Cold Outside" is the same as some of the discourse around Lady MacBeth's speech urging regicide in "MacBeth". And of course it ends in a filk. ("I really don’t know (baby stab his side) // King Duncan’s a bro (baby cut through his hide) ...)

I freaking love that post.

In general, I decided that my reaction to "Baby It's Cold Outside" discourse should be to make popcorn and enjoy, because it's just never going to end and I shouldn't let myself say "A pox on both your houses and HERE'S WHY", but that post was so glorious it might actually manage to be the last word on all that malarkey.
