‘Hey, those ! and ,‘ -… are all ours, but we’re not able to squirt out a &

What’s rusty is the ole Twitter that they tweeted on.

all I can say is “‽”

“Punctuation Begone!” is what I spray on all my essays before submission.

It drives the AI editor crazy!

Apple at you mountains.

Alfred Hitchcock called., he loves it!

The formation of a flocken migration bird’s to spring forward, and fall backwards.

Leader of the ax.

Poo fairy and gay people for a Tinkerbell.

Look blog and see a fairy rumble.

Why do my comments keep disappearing?

At least it’s punctual.
