Scones, we have talk of scones in Bitches.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I will get a taser and start using it, people.
And deprive of the world the future generation of the analytic philosophers of the comma?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And deprive of the world the future generation of the analytic philosophers of the comma?
Yes.
We can just link them to the above conversation.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
See, when I woke up and saw the explosion of posts here, I actually thought people had delurked! I thought Sying had caused a small avalanche of delurkage overnight!
Nope.
I love you guys, though. Never change. (And I love that there is talk of scones in Bitches too, apparently.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Come to Bitches, Lurkers - we have scones. Also, bonus points for singing that to the tune of "Kenya".

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, great, now I have the Kenya song in my head.
Also, I must give you all great thanks, for my lifelong indenture to "proper" punctuation has finally been broken. I no longer give a crap, fuck or damn about the serial comma. I am free, liberated and released! Sorry, Tep...
(I still love ellipses, though.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec, I'll prouldy support you and order a t-shirt in size large, please!

Who gives a fuck about the Oxford comma?

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
Oh dear lord, people, do whatever you want but be consistent in the effing document.
You're not going to be there to explain your comma ethos and justification of use or not use of each specific comma to individual readers. It'll just look like your editor and/or secretary were crap at their job.

Ah, the heady heights of 1000.
I'm Pete. I'm married to Jilli. I do art. I spend my spare time cursing Cylons in the gaming thread.
I am not adorable. Do not question this.
G'night.

Also, he lies.
Adorably.
