About Me
- Scenester
- I'm a comedian and writer for The Onion and Someecards, based in New York most of the time. When I told people I was going to be living in Botswana for a year, they thought it would be a really good joke to mock the comedy scene in Botswana. It was a mediocre joke, but an excellent blog name.

I humbly disagree; having just learned the semicolon rules, I love them heartily.
What's your beef with the semicolon? Can you recommend a better method of connecting two closely-related independent clauses not conjoined with a co-ordinating conjunction?
i like semicolons okay.
who really wants a world in which 'It was the best of times; it was the worst of times' no longer exists?
'It was the best of times. It was the worst of times' ? Nonsense.
'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times'? Even worse, a comma splice!
i love DB's stories, and Kurt Vonnegut too (he had also dissed semicolons at some point). but fuck them; they are so wrong.
