Any takers?
Hit me. I'm feeling all ambitious now that I've beta-ed with Lizard.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Hec's a wonderful beta.
David "Hecubus" Smay: What is this love affair you have with the colon?
David "Hecubus" Smay: You are the colon's bitch. I think a comma here.
David "Hecubus" Smay: Why must you torture me with this idiosyncratic colon use?

Thanks for the heads-up, RL. I expect Hecubus would give me a hard time about my passive-aggressive relationship with the semi-colon. *grin* Oh, and the comma splices. I do them on purpose, and I can't stop myself.

The semi-colon is a beautiful thing. IJS.
I feel very strongly about this.

(And then, Hec, we watched two episodes of Angel on DVD, so you get it tonight. My bad.)

Comma splices are very organic. Semi-colons are like a swinging door, sure, it's easy to get past it, but you've still got to push through the thing.
Oh, look, another comma splice. Neener.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's fine, Ple. I can't wait to stick my hands in your grammar and pinch your commas until they stiffen and turn red.

If I only had a brain...
Man, I gotta cut back on the pseuds, don't I?
Yes. Keeping track of all the various incarnations of Buffistas (Consuela, Dana, and Vee, I'm looking at you) can drive a woman to Excel.

Hey! I've only got...
Three. I think. Well, four. Kind of. And only one that I use in fandom. (not counting the p.m. marcontell one.)
