But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Yes, there is such a point. Unfortunately, the first year it may be called "spring."

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

I really liked "Let's Get It Started" until I heard the original words. I still own it, I still teach to it, I still get earwormed with it. But I can't help but think of them as idiots or weak.

And then there's the pee thing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am a math idiot. How do I figure out what percentage 61.61 is of 205.37? Is it 30% or am I on crack?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Relatedly: this is true? Sure looks like she's confessing to another occurrence, not the one in the photo.

My god, when I saw the first picture, the only "Fergie" I could think of was the ex-Duchess of York, and I was really, REALLY, confused. Also, it occurred to me that she'd lost some weight.

Robin, it's 30%.

61.61/205.37 = 0.30

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Chatty cat is bugging me again...

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

The way I usually do stuff like this is to write an equation:

61.61/205.37 = x/100

and then solve for x.

You did get the bit where she said "math idiot," right?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm a math idiot too and I think tommyrot's idea is the easiest. As long as you don't call it writing an equation and solving for x.

I divide the little number by the big number and slide the decimal point over two.
