What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Barb, I found that but couldn't find evidence that it still existed.

Yelp found The Lookout, Salumi, and Belle Epicurean, which is your best bet since I can actually see it on the menu. It's on potato herb bread, though. Weird.

Tim Minear is amazing (not to mention Joss!)

Tim is Joss?

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Truly, any form of punctuation over which there is controversy is a source of joy.

One of our authors, on returning a galley to us, asked us why we changed commas in series to semi-colons, and asked us to double-check if that was correct, because it didn't "look right."

For a moment of blind rage, I wanted to punch them in the neck, yelling "NEVER question my use of semi-colons!!!"

Lord, what fools these authors be.

Keep breathing!

Two different aspects of the Creative Force. Let us praise them both.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hee!

May I tag?

But of course!

Hee. I read your post, Shari, and my two thoughts were "wait, I swear I've seen you post before!" and "Oooh, we have a real active Republican?!?! We DO have everything!" :)

How are you on the semicolons in these comics (following "Good" and "Wow," respectively)? I feel that they are excessive.

Cool! It's been an æon since I tagged a Buffista.

Wait, that sounds like I spray-painted graffiti on Teppy....

Teppy will know for sure, but they look correct to me, if you (in those examples) treat "Good" and "Wow" as interjections that can function as independent clauses.

Hi, Shari! I remember seeing your name before. Yay for re-delurking.

The muffalette debate was five years ago? Geez.
