Quest! (Sonnet) by ?-Dave_Mysterious-?

Upon this wand'ring quest, For which I wear a vest, Should those who show bare breast, Be under house arrest. I'll always do my best, To proudly sport my crest, To East or to the West, With ne'er a falt'ring zest! I'm always fully dressed, It's nudeness I detest, For if you had not guessed, With clothing I am blessed! My inner pain shall forever my burden be.

Dear Angel in Flux,
Regrettable, the way you got stuck in Nethertime. Perhaps if you’d listened to sound advice and not set your flux capacitor to that ridiculous 3.1gw, you’d be dining with King Arthur right now instead of floating about like some poop-stuffed raven over the Fields of Doggerel.

As I was about say when you rudely went off on your ill-fated trip, 1.21 is 1.21 regardless of anybody’s phrasing of it. And to show how wrong you were, I was leading up to the European reversal of comma and decimal point, 1,21, and the omitted and unnecessary zero, hence 1,210 gigawatts, which is far more than 200% in error. It’s too late now, of course, and I do wish time were kinder, but perhaps next time you’ll reconsider your insinuation that girls can’t do math. And, really, “gigawatts” does not become some new-fangled word just because somebody mispronounces it.

Really, DA, I’m shocked. But if you ask nicely, I’ll try to rescue you by deriving an input algorithm for your misfluxed capacity.

Regards,
Dovina
