Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

erin_obscure: Embrace the hysterical laughter. It brings power.

Aims: Twenty. Twenty girls. All of them best friends and mortal enemies.

And one girl who is, I believe, emotionally impaired leading them all. That would be me.

billytea: Lead them to Mordor!

Aims: Nah - terrible snacks and the orcs make for some ugly camping.

OTOH, it *would* earn us the Middle Earth Exploring petal.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

TomW in the delurking thread: You will also note that I use the Oxford comma. If this displeases you then I can provide a list of awful places where you can go, but I must warn you that this list will also feature an Oxford comma.

I always want to COMM Tom, but I feel like it is unseemly in a "STFU Smug Marrieds" sort of way.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Olympic Natter:

Barb: Rio got it.

Matt the Bruins fan: That made me envision an Olympic stadium with a huge "WELCOME, FUCKOS!" banner hanging over the entrance.

Sue: "Just eat a muffin, Whitey!" could replace "Faster, Higher, Stronger."

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

OK. I know it was only two posts ago, in this very thread, but I'm COMMing Nora, on principle:

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

In Delurking, Buffistas get sex-ay with puncutation:

Una: ...In conclusion, the serial comma is a moral imperative. Semicolons also rock my world.

Zenkitty: Una! I've posted with you before, I know! Probably in Firefly. Here, let me rock your world: ;;;;;;;;

Amy: Here, let me help:

The serial comma is elegant, necessary, and useful; I love it.

How's that?

Zenkitty: oooh, Amy. Talk punctuation to me!

Amy: I feel like there's a "show me your dangling participle" joke there, but I'll restrain myself.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

The delightful billytea in Delurking:

As a matter of interest, are there any Americans here opposed to the serial comma? I don't use it; it's simply not the standard in Australia. From my perspective it's just part of the list of American freakiness, like the attachment to Imperial measurements (despite the national mythology being tied up in an act of revolt against the British Empire), a random loss of vowels, a willingness to use peanut butter for anything short of a personal lubricant, an apparent loss of fine motor skills in your left hand whenever you pick up a fork, and the governership of Illinois. (As you will note, this list of American freakiness does indeed include the serial comma.)

I saw erika's dog violate a plush toy so I want extra credit for that.
