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
Give Charlie my love.
Sorry Tim's results weren't magically stellar - but it sounds like a very workable prognosis! Hang in there.
In completely shallow news, I have Michael Penn's "No Myth" stuck in my head and if you're going to have an earworm that's the earworm to have. Alas, listening to it didn't make it go away. Watching the lyrics on YouTube didn't do the trick. I think its there for good.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I still use semi-colons regularly.
But I'm also put to mind of a stand-up bit from the 60s where one guy is describing his week, and the other guy has a verbal tic of punctuating aloud the first guy's description, and all the jokes are built on that conceit.
Like...
"I couldn't see my girlfriend that week because it was her time of the month."
"Period."
Anyway, the best joke was...
"So the doctor said that I had to have part of my lower intestine removed."
"Semi-colon."
