My name is Joy.
I live in Maine.
I've never met an exclamation mark I didn't like.
Sometimes I host impromptu dance-offs in the middle of the street.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
You know who doesn’t give a fuck anymore? The University of Oxford styleguide:
As a general rule, do not use the serial/Oxford comma: so write ‘a, b and c’ not ‘a, b, and c’.
This topic came up on a conference call today and I screamed, “VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Yes, I vocally used that many exclamation points.
