This thread is for Buffista quotage. Posts that are profound, witty, or otherwise deserving of immortality go here. This is also Shrift's source for the BRQG, so be aware that if your words end up here, they'll also end up there.

Oh, what the hell, there should be more natter in COMM.
FayJay, the Chicago Style Manual has a big ejaculation type yay!!! thing over serial commas, so I interpret it as an American thing.
Which means I do it, because I'm an academic (can't you tell?) so naturally I write for American publications because there aren't any others! (Generally speaking)
Someone -- and right now I can't remember who -- is immortalized in the BRQG as saying the reason the serial comma will never die is the following sentence: "I'd like to thank my parents, God and Ayn Rand."
She is a silly cow. On all those points.
Forget the anti-serial-comma! Joinnn us!

DX, did you just hit the BRQG over and over until you got it?

Bwahahahaha! Damn, I love you. All of you. Mwah!

Because I still struggle with Buffista abbreviations, this is accompanied by a most wonderful graphic.
It's the Buffista Random Quote generator, aka Buff Dive. It's a lot of fun.
Thank you. I do know, really, but I don't have it off-pat without thinking hard, hence the time gap from production of visuals.
