Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Studio 60 is on Sunday's for me. Last night I taped Heroes, and I watched back to back Deadwood episodes on History Television. I had a headache and somehow, Deadwood seemed reassuring to my pounding head.

Dunno, but it stalls out if you don't get off the clutch properly.

Grammar - punctuation question. Does anyone have an opinion (or cites) on using a comma v. a colon in the the salutation of a letter, e.g., Dear So-and-so : or , ?

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've always thought that the colon is for more formal (business, etc.) letters.

See, this is the power of the hivemind: I'm poking my aching head in here to whine about said ache of said head, and even before I type a single letter, somebody comes up with an answer.

Of course, it's not an answer that's available to me, but still.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think colon is formal, comma more casual. So Dear Mr. Smith: or Dear Bob,

I am in a frenzy of travel planning. It makes me queasy. What if I pick WRONG?

Yeah, I hear that. I just booked flights, and was confused by how easy it was, and so somewhat afraid I screwed something up.

Of course, it's not an answer that's available to me, but still.

We could just say cocksucker a lot? Maybe that would work?

That's my thinking, and my practice, but now New COO has decided that, with all the shit going on around here, resolving this is our first priority, so I'm trying to find a cite.
