You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

We have our 1000th registration. And I am morally opposed to serial commas.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Serial commas ... I can see the problem.
But I think the suggestion was for an Oxford comma, which is a whole 'nother vibe.

There is no reason other than blind prejudice not to use serial commas. On the other hand, there are plenty of situations in which they are absolutely necessary for a sentence to make sense, so one might as well be consistent and use them all the time.

What's up with the lack of a serial comma?
To cause debate.

It's also not a complete sentence
Not that I care. Well, not as much as I care about proper comma usage. Don't let any potential (or actual) visually-impaired Buffistas think the show is called Angelland, I implore you.

Why should it be a complete sentence? "All the news that's fit to print" isn't a complete sentence either.
