For once I'm hoping Cupid doesn't start paying attention to me. Getting hit with an arrow would mess up a great thing I got going on right now.

I hate, Hate, HATE it when the Oxford comma is not used! In my mind, it is never acceptable not to use it. I think the final comma was first dropped to save ink when printing but come on! You can't save that much money. Just use the comma, please. APA requires it. I looked this up for my dad once in my APA manual and there are times when punctuation should be inside quotes, and times when it should be outside of the quotes. Your usage was correct and I totally agree with you about the internal logic of the material.

Yeah, I pulled "natzee" from the graphic Scary Guy posted. Plus, I know some people get offended by the word "nazi" when it's used to describe anything other than the actual Nazis from WWII.

Share your pet peeves, tips and hints, etc. Here's some stuff from a couple other threads to get us started:

This afternoon an awesome woman came over and gave me a foot massage. She spent 45 minutes on each foot, then 10 more minutes on both together. So I'm definitely feeling ...

I'm crushing on Rick's brand new Colt .45 old fashioned six shooter.

Had a kid?

It's spelled right in the first poster, just not the second one.

You should see The Ritz show on the 16th as well. I like the stage better. It's elevated higher and there's more room to move on. I'm really worried about doing the weaponry at The Works. I'd hate to accidentally hit an audience member especially considering how much I stress safety.

How about "Our DJ Staff" instead of "Our Staff DJs"? And I still like, "Multimedia Entertainment Wizard Scary Guy".

That's bloody brilliant. I'm going to start keeping a tally then donate quarterly or something.

Heck, only a couple hours north and you could see this:

Yeah, that is a good one. I'm glad you had someone to look up at that night.

Ooo, that reminds me ... how about Monica Bellucci in "Brotherhood of the Wolf"?

Your hair is awesome. What she said.

Swords. That's all I have to say. Swords. Oh, and guns.

I'm short. Probably why I like short. I think 5'4" is the maximum for a girl to get short points and that's being generous. 5'0" is better and then there's 4'10".

A second date? Wow! That's farther than I have gotten in over a year. Until recently. Sort of.

Sandy struck me once ... it was great.

I posted this in my LiveJournal on March 1. Figured JynxxxedAngel would appreciate it.

I went to the doctor today and it turns out I have the leading cause of death in the nation and it's highly contagious. Influenza. Ugh.

It appears we are on different sides of this issue. My side has cake though.

You could always move to the UK with your dad. But we'd miss you here.

I wish I could find the quote, or knew off the top of my head, but Bruce Willis said something to the effect of, "Why should we trust an actor's viewpoint on anything just because they're on TV?" Doesn't make them any smarter than anyone, but often dumber. Canadian radio is decent and you can get an English translation of Der Spiegel on the internet that has some good reporting.
