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

I don't even know what a drinking song is. You people are aliens.

I told my boss I would call him, and now I'm avoidy. Dude, you set yourself up for this. Bite the fucking bullet.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Our song is "The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You." It is as alarming as it sounds.

I'm back on an investigation to find good protien to include in CJ's lunches. He won't do sandwiches or cheese. He has been taking GoGerts, but those only have 2g of protien. I bought some Clif bars (10g) and am hoping he will glom onto them. He ate a couple happily when he was snowboarding. Beyond that, I'm at a loss.

Okay, Americans.

Who among you thinks "one hundred and one" means 100.1? I just read someone somewhere say "one hundred one" is 101. WTF? You can't do that. That doesn't make sense.

Also, my boss didn't answer his phone, and my head hurts. And my flowchart is either really simple or really complicated, and I don't want to get out my book on use cases. FUCK.

Of course it's 101. If I wanted to say 100.1, I would say "one hundred point one," or "one hundred and one-tenth".

Although if I wanted to say 101 I would probably just say "one oh one". As in the highway.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I would say 100 point one for 100.1 and "one hundred and one" or "one oh one" for 101.

If we were talking about the freeway, I would put a the in front of it too.

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

I just love this painting: [link]

It's from this exhibit:

Alex Pardee has an art show opening at Corey Helford Gallery on January 8, 2010 in Los Angeles. The gallery will give 500 mini giclee prints to the first 500 guests on opening night.

Coming off his work on the 2011 feature film release, "Sucker Punch", where Pardee partnered with filmmaker Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. Pictures to create original artwork for the film as well as art direction for the Comic-Con marketing campaign, Pardee has created "Vertigo", his most ambitious art exhibition to date. In his first solo at Corey Helford Gallery, the artist unveils the art of capturing nightmares with a collection of thirteen acrylic-on-cradled wood panel paintings, which are physical representations of darkly intense dream-state visions in the unique Pardee style. Each painting is accompanied by a framed document chronicling the nightmare's history, as related by world-famous nightmare hunter, Verti Parker, who inspired Pardee to create the exhibition. Also on display throughout the gallery will be a series of artifacts and evidence from the famous nightmare hunter's archive, including the actual music box he used to exorcise nightmares from patients, as well as an eight-foot taxidermy monster from Verti's very first nightmare hunt.

I was mucky in my post. One hundred one can be 101. It's alien to my ears, though. One hundred and one can't be 100.1. It's unclear.

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

I was taught that "one hundred one" is more correct than "one hundred and one" but they both mean 101.
