Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

It's been an hour since I requested information from them that should be all of 2 words, and nothing.

Ah well, if it doesn't get done, it's because they ignored my deadline.

Because books.

The media coverage of this is ridic. hey look, Iran, and Honduras, and China, OH and the TWO WARS we are still fighting.

Seriously, it's on *every* channel. He's not a head of state, people. I just don't get it.

All I can say about the funeral coverage is thank God for BBC America!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'd do it with just the exclamation point since the question is rhetorical and not meant to be answered. It's more like an interjection. That is, you say it with excitement (or emotion) rather than as a query.

That's certainly true in that case. Sort of a bad example since the question is rhetorical. Maybe I should have gone with "Is it the blue wire or the red wire!"

Oh dear god. QUESTIONS GET QUESTION MARKS, people!!! Don't make me bust out a ruler and rap your knuckles!

Steph has no artistic soul.

Actually, just no soul. I loaned it to a vampire and he never returned it.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The exclamation point's role in life is to follow exclamations and interjections, e.g. Frak! Oh, no! It's alive!

If it's a question, it's a question, no matter how excited you are.

Remember, dear readers, if you haven't gotten them excited with the nouns and verbs, the punctuation isn't going to do it.
