I love the serial comma, and am frustrated to no end here at work when I have to edit unemployment insurance state regulations, which never use said serial comma.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

On an unrelated note, while verifying that THE DAILY SHOW and COLBERT REPORT are in re-runs this week, I saw that the George Lucas / Green Screen Challenge winner Colbert episode is on Weds/Thurs. Which means the Salute to the American Lady is on as well (I think that's tonight/Tue, but I'm not 100% sure).

I hate today. I'm very sleepy, even though I slept just about all weekend (all that stuff I was going to clean in my apartment over the weekend? Nada!), have a nagging sinus headache and accompanying stuffed up nose, the Diet Coke I just drank has not kicked in and woken me up yet, and my boss is on vacation and I therefore can't claim wooziheadedness and take a half day off.
Damn.
Four more hours, and I can't concentrate worth a damn.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
No serial, it's often redundant to "and."
