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

Just goes to show that all the things you think obvious never are.

I figured the Biblical reference was one that if not in pop culture almost independent of the Bible (like the 3 wise men (they are, aren't they?)) that most people would know it anyway--in a country where "In God We Trust" is on the money (it is, isn't it?) I forget where the line falls.

What is even happening?

If FNL would move to Fridays, I would remember to watch it. I've had the worst cognitive dissonance with that show, and any night on which it is scheduled. I know Friday's a sucktacular night for an hour long drama, but I think with their name, they could make it work.

But wouldn't part of their expected audience be out on Fridays?

(this is where my knowledge gets Swiss cheesey)

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

That's the reason I heard it's not on Fridays.

Well, in most places high school football is done.

Probably, ita. I just can't remember to watch the damn thing, and it only ever occurs to me on Friday, then I do the d'oh headslap, and forget all about it, until the next Friday, when it's also not on.

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

My big weak point for reference is Roman stuff -- which is only ever a problem when, like, I am reading 1926 adventure novels that quote Cicero in the original, assuming that everyone who can read can read Latin.

You know, I've done that in fic, I think. Quoted Cicero in the original, that is.

Without providing translation.

I felt kind of bad about it at the time, and went back and forth on if I should footnote it before deciding, to hell with it, and leaving it as it was.

Isn't this the third time it has moved?
