I look more rad than Lutheranism

In other good news, guess what's on my block??

Jesus?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I would go with an m-dash or colon. But I find the longer I teach, the less I correct individual grammar errors in student papers. There's usually bigger fish to fry. Speaking of which, I should get back to grading.

(Tim was reading over my shoulder and just asked, "Did you just threaten meara over punctuation? Isn't that...excessive?"

"You should read the conversations about muffalettas," I said.)

Yay for good news, Scrappy. Here's hoping your mother has a good recovery.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesus?

Also Jesus. He's crashing on the sidewalk.

Put out a box filled with straw. It's like home.

I got some hummus, but maybe straw also.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That "usually" is fucking everything up, which is why no punctuation is good.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

The comma looks fine to me, actually. Not super formal but totally acceptable.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I agree. The colon is valid but a total rewrite would be better. Words, so complicated.

I have a chunk missing from my finger because my favorite corkscrew snapped tonight. I loved it so much that I don't have a backup waiter style anywhere. It was my One True Corkscrew. And terribly branded so I don't really know if I can replace it. No corkscrew and a bandaid over a little chunk of missing finger. My pinot grigio is not worth this.
