@InvidiaRedWhat was your problem with the ending?
In any case, this story takes place after the finale.

You have a cannibal phone… 
 

I think the 2nd one is the best one.

Just throw in some earthquakes, and you could call Australia “The Southern Southern California.”

The worst thing is a colon in the wrong place. Such as in your lunch.

I’ve had a cup of tea and a nice lie down since my rant, and now I’m feeling more calm. lol  Basically, whatever feels right for you is what you should go with.

For me, it’s definitely the second.  Semicolon’s are much more of a pause than a comma is.  You’re describing a list of things that are directly related to each other, so they belong in the same list.  Semicolon’s – basically just a step up from a full stop - essentially break it up into several, less related items.  Besides, if you’re saying something like “This is my daughter, Evie”, you should always put a comma after the word daughter.  The comma has become unpopular in recent years, for some baffling reason, but comma’s make sentences more readable, not less readable, if done right.  Nothing infuriates me more than a lack of comma’s!

@BronxWench A semicolon slut? Where have you been all my life?
@JayDee This isn’t so much about grammatical correctness as readability. Which sentence is the most quick and easy to understand?

At first I went with the first one, but I totally see BW’s point with the third.Second feels a bit too stop/starty although I couldn’t honestly say which is most correct.

I’m a total slut for a good semicolon. Sentence #3, please! 

Part of me wants the strong response, and the sane part of me knows that I don’t get sick days.
 

My first shot just left me with a sore arm. With relatives dead from covid now I have zero tolerance for the anti-vaxx anti-mask bullshit.

Most people I know who’ve had the immunization didn’t have much reaction to their first shot. Reaction to the second shot varied substantially; I felt a little off for a day, my wife had a fever for 3 days.

He’s braver than my corgi, who wants to make friends with the local skunks… 
 

I’ve been watching Helluva Boss, and I must say I was disappointed by this song. A song titled “Vacay to Bonetown” and performed by a succubus should be WAY more fun.

It’s the bloody mimics I don’t like. Took me ages to realise one had replaced the beer compartment in the fridge. Every time I’d put beer in there it’d disappear and hit me with some magic to give me a bad headache.

So we know @GeorgeGlass got replaced then. Okay

Nixon: Creates EPA
Trump: “We got anywhere we can pollute even more? I’m just going to take a bigly shit all over Alaska. Right over it. yuge!”
...the only thing I can ever remember about Spiro Agnew is someone pointing out it is an anagram of “grow a penis”

Ah, right, I’d forgotten that Nixon managed to quit before the House could impeach him. That’s an even better argument for him being a better president than Trump. Frankly, if I had to choose between the two, I’d take Nixon in a heartbeat. But he’d have to bring Gerald Ford along, not Spiro Agnew (who was all too Trump-like himself).
