OnlyTzaras: Social Commentary and Riotous Amusement
"a dangerous procrastination time-sink"
Studying for my
GPATS exam coming up this Wednesday was becoming incredibly tortuous. I wasn�t
sure if my eyes were going to fall out on the fourth time going over the tiny
print of the Milhamoth Hashem, but I
certainly didn�t feel like chancing it. And then, an instant message containing
a link to OnlyTzaras
popped up on my iBook screen.
Like almost all MO females of my age and social position, I spend a fair amount
of time reading and posting on
OnlySimchas. I�ve seen
otherwise erudite and composed young women (including myself) lower to the
superlative-laden depths of multiple exclamation points and question marks and
fervent wishes that your seminary roommate/camp counselor/person you met on the
subway/ex-fiancee be �zoche to build
the best BNB ever!!!!!!!!�
It's the kind of satire that makes you think, "Why didn't I think of that?" My
own streak of social commentary and desire to skewer the OS madness and to
somehow turn the phenomenon to advantageous humor was balked by my
less-than-objective status regarding the usefulness and desirability of OS.
Thankfully, someone did it for me.
I could detail the rapier wit and sarcastic incisiveness of the mock posts, (not
to mention the ads!!!! Best�. Social commentary�. Ever�) but its more fun to go
make you, the reader, check it out yourself. One caveat: don�t blame me if you
can�t get your work done, it is a dangerous procrastination time-sink. A very,
very funny one.
