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

Did you know jengod got married? Perhaps. But *I* got to see the ring. Oh, and her.

Your taunting means nothing to me today, ita.

Also, I'm watching Anchors Aweigh (Gene Kelly/Frank Sinatra from 1945), and there's a really cute little kid in it, and the little kid turns out to be Dean Stockwell! Har.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Congratulations, Jesse! You rock, cowgirl!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Congratulations, Jesse! All around great news.

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

Okay, I'm trying to help a friend who is asking fo r a raise. if someone is making 29,120.00 and they get a raise to 35,000.00, what percentage of a raise is that?

Should I know this? Yes, I certainly should, but I know I am doing the math wrong and don't have time to figure out how to do it right.

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

You'd want to look at the difference in pay as a percentage of the original pay level. So, (35000-29120)/29120 = about 20%

(35000-29120)/29120=.201923

20%
