Fire Bad; Vidders Pretty. http://www.vividcon.com/auction.cgi Incidentally - does a semicolon belong up there with the whole "fire bad" thing? Unfortunately, grammar rules I once knew quite well, rules that were my friends, are deserting me in my dotage.
Weirdly enough, I just looked that up the other day... Strunk and White say that independent clauses should be joined by a semicolon, except for a) colloquialisms, and b) very short clauses that are alike in form; like "Fire Bad, Vidders Pretty." (Their example is "Man proposes, God disposes.")
