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.

Punishingly Intricate

Really was just about getting a good picture, not what the picture meant.

Absolutely. Was this your first one, Burrell? Did they tell you that they end up having to rescreen a lot for the first one? I had to go back and get one side redone. Ow. But they didn't find anything troubling.

Misused punctuation marks are always a reason for excitement.
