I am flittering like an electron that found the good Sudafed stash on Kat's question. Technically it needs the comma but the comma looks wrong. I can't choose just one.

Exactly. I think ... I would have to put it on there.

It's friday night and I'm not only home and on the computer. I'm making CHEERLEADING shirts. WTF? (But it does mean I get to use my new silkscreening machine this weekend) I wish my school had money to spend on any of this so I wouldn't have to do it.

Visually, the non-comma version is best.
I wonder if the comma is necessary, could it be a little smaller, with a bit more space behind it?

Maybe "Let's Go, Falcons" would look less weird?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, but the fact that everybody is doing it that way doesn't mean it's not wrong. Hee.
But maybe smaller, like bonny says?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
As you know, Bob, I love commas, but I say leave it out. You're trying to convey an emotion.

Just because it's common, it's still technically wrong to skip the comma.
