We don't need any mouth, we need someone to scrub up and save this horse's life! Or at least one of the two. So tell me — are you the man for the job? Do you know your way around a scalpel and 40 ccs of floss? Or can you not operate your way out of a paper bag with a flamethrower, huh, punk? It's time to shut down or nut up, pallo. What's it gonna be?
With all that extra floss, you should reconsider what quantity of mouth you need.

The em-dash — because I can feel smug about the proper usage of a nonstandard but versatile character, that little to none are going to notice is different from a hyphen. It's a question of mouthfeel. Compare (fig. 1):
—-

On the left is the ubermensch em-dash, on the right a pathetic grovelling little hyphen. It doesn't even have the dignity or self-respect to be an EN-DASH for Christ's sake! Look, they're fine alright, some of my best sentences have hyphens in them, but it needs to keep itself segregated from the dash communities before it starts to drive property rates down. They belong in-between compound words, not in-between whole clauses of sentences! And putting two together to substitute for the noble em-dash -- madness! What's next --- hyphen ellipses!?
