Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I, however, suck.
Only when you post things like the above quoted thing.

It's kind of...gooey, and I *don't* think that's spinal fluid.

The way I feel right now, a third of a brain would be better than none.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Well, I favour them, but I suspect they appeal to only a limited audience. For maximum clarity and accessibility, I'd probably recommend varying it with dashes, or apostrophes, or SOMETHING else (even though I quite understand the temptation [irresistible at times] to use at least two [if not three {or even four, were it but viable}] different kinds of parentheses).
