,;:)

In lunching with the ever shaggy Magicjohnsonmadness the other day, I got the definitive argument for using a comma with the title, Bugles, sing! His reasoning: the rules of grammar cannot apply since the phrase is a transcription of a purely oral phenomenon. In order to find the answer, I'd have to look to see what other authors did in similar situations (yea, like I have the time for that) and then make a decision. Since magicjohnsonmadness and nederlands both know each other well, I recommend they get together and have a punctuation battle royale and let me know how it goes.
