    Plan for when I’m taken hostage by terrorist group / state actor:

    • As. Soon. As. I’m. Taken. Start. Talking. Like. Shatner!
    • When the hostage video comes out with me spouting whatever script they gave me, the world cracks up laughing.

    I feel like with Walken it would be more like:

    You know! Bob Sue and, Greg! They? Came to my house!?

      It gives a way to distinguish between “Sue, and Greg” (two independent people), and “Sue and Greg” (a couple).

        I actually do like the Oxford Comma a lot, but there is a Vampire Weekend song like what I quoted above.
