The rule of thumb I follow is simple: if the clause to the right of the punctuation mark is a stand-alone sentence, the mark should be a colon. If it isn't, the mark should be a semi-colon.

Is the money waisted when you squeeze it around the middle?

I understand colon usage pretty well.
I'm still not sure when you use the prostate.

Hi, Sneaky!

Recluse!!!

After using the smileys for 2 weeks now tell us what you think.
(it also helps us know when you are joking)

recluse · 10-09-2010, 08:37 PM

Actually, it kinda sucks.

It's screwing up my posting speed.

And I can't find a burping or puking smiley.

But it makes everyone happy.

Everytime I see one of them little guys I imagine that is the face you are making under your bandages.

recluse · 10-09-2010, 09:06 PM

Can you picture the finger I'm holding up to my Kindle screen right now?

kennyc · 10-09-2010, 09:14 PM

Invisible?

recluse · 10-09-2010, 09:25 PM

Give that man a cigar!

Now, for a chance to win an autographed picture of said finger and a lifetime membership in the Hair Club for Men, tell me....

which invisible finger?

GraceKrispy · 10-09-2010, 09:50 PM

I finally finished the book and review that caused me all the comma turmoil. Now I'm taking the kids and the husband to a random, deserted field to....

play soccer.

Hi, Sneaky!

Hi recluse

. You don't need your prostate as much as your colon.
