I'm glad I flipped over in time to see that. Also, I don't know which dress I'm more dying for, Plimpton's or Poehler's.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Do not rain on her parade Jesse! They just gave her a crown and roses in addition the the gd Emmy and it was fucking awesome!

Joe Morton! Cool.
I had no idea Matt LeBlanc was on TV again.
I don't care what Melissa McCarthy won for. I want her to win Queen of the Universe. I adore her.
I'm trying to find a good example. OK I think the original example from Language Log was two sentences. "A Panda enters the bar. He eats shoots, and leaves." Is this still a case where the Oxford comma would not be used? If it is, then I'm trying to come up with a case where the Oxford comma would produce a problem. The "Ayne Rand and Jesus example" is a good case for the opposite that sometimes leaving out the Oxford comma can go wrong. But I'm having trouble coming up with one where putting in the Oxford comma would cause a wrong reading.
Typo, it's a 2-item list. I've never seen anyone advocate a comma in a 2-item list. I have, however, seen silly people put commas between a verb and direct object (this confuses me greatly), which would be "he eats, shoots and leaves"
Oxford comma issue would be "He eats, shoots, and leaves." vs. "He eats, shoots and leaves." Assuming an attack panda. The author used the sentence to show the importance of punctuation because actually he eats shoots and leaves. No comma IRL.
I don't think that's an Oxford comma situation either, TB.
What's the deal with Cobie Smulders? Who is she and why do geeks love her so much?
She's on How I Met Your Mother and is super pretty?
