Ben Hur will have an orgy and music by Stewart: Times Online

Postby Susan on 02 May 2009 02:02

An article about Ben-Hur Live, and a good example of why a serial comma is a good idea. Stewart is mentioned in the fifth paragraph. I just might have to circulate this around at work.

Ben Hur includes "an orgy and music by Stewart Copeland"????

I may be able to scrape together enough money to visit Europe this summer after all.
In Dallas, the only game that really mattered was in the word gamelan.

I am so in for orgy and music by Stewart.

I might even give up the serial comma for it.
Dramatic highlights & a unique musical cosmos. Guaranteed.

Kellie: NO! Do not give in! If this was any one else, we'd be begging for that comma.

But yeah, I'd find the money to get to Europe for an orgy by Stewart.

What Susan said ^. I had a chuckle or two over the left out comma.

Can I just say that I love how pedantic we are? Between that and the Stewart thing, I feel like I've truly found my peeps :D .

ETA: sorry, I split an infinitive (just had a really nice single malt, feeling relaxed ...). Should be "I truly feel like I've found my peeps."

There. I defy you to take my pedant badge away from me.

It is not every crowd that can discuss grammatical rumors in the same conversation as an orgy. :D

What exactly should one wear to a musical orgy???

I also liked this descriptive phrase:

"an arena show of demented ambition." Sounds about right!!

Yesterday someone undangled his participle for me. I didn't even have to ask. Total turn-on.
