I was watching TV at my friend Jay’s house last night when, all of a sudden, he blurted out, “Holy shit! Do you see that? Do you see that semi-colon?”

“What?” I asked. “What semi-colon?” But, then I saw it, this white semi-colon, all by itself, making its way across the top of the screen. It was so weird. It was like when a weather advisory is posted, except there was no advisory — there were no words. It was a just a white semi-colon. And it kept floating across the top of the TV screen.

So, we changed the channel, and there it was, moving across Conan’s forehead. So, we changed it again, and it was still there, making an appearance on Chappelle’s Show. Eventually, we turned off the TV and turned it back on, and the semi-colon was gone. But, I mean, where the hell did it come from in the first place? Silly semi-colon.
