Look up and meet the members of my riotous, badass posse  … I’ve spent so much time with these little guys. I’ve even given them nicknames. Here are some:

• I call the parentheses “Smiles A Lot,” in honor of that kid in Dances with Wolves. 
• I call the question mark “Confucius.”
• I call the colon “Gollum” (from LOTR), because it has no idea what it is. 
• I call the comma “Dimples.” 
• I call the period “Shel Silverstein,” because it’s where the sidewalk ends.
• I call the apostrophe “Lil Freckle.”
• I call the semicolon “Fassy,” after Michael Fassbender, because it’s sort of the big dick in the punctuation world.
