Well, stop by here when you're in the hood ... I'll brew you a cuppa hand-ground organic java that'll make you say Starbucks who?!!!!

The intention of the comma was that it can be read as 'Twins, from the Nether regions' as well as 'Twins, and their nether regions'.
You write what you want, sweetie! Listen to your own self. The pronouncement of others - it's just their opinion. Including mine!!!!
If it's helpful to you, I found over the past few years that if I write an explanation, no matter how obvious, it will be helpful for someone. After all, no one HAS to read the nether-mother!

Aw how kind!  Whereabouts is your 'hood?
Yeah that's what I always think - I prefer to give a hint just in case, even though I know it might seem stupid to people who know it already!

Quite! Truely beautiful, it is!
So far, so good this round. But I see no one this round has seen Into the Woods. If they had, they'd know that when Chris goes to stay at a homeless shelter for one night he tells the reception woman that his name is "Alexander Supertramp". |

O.K., then. That is the closest possible to a good excuse. You're going to need to have your finger on the pulse of that sort of thing if you're going to be writing advertising copy, though. (As you can imagine, I make a point of boycotting products with adverts that annoy me!)
Here's another way of looking at it. Without the hint, I would have seen the review and thought "Nice!" With it, I thought "So, there's going to be a nether pun... oh, there it is." |

Well I need to be able to commute to London and my hometown is Plymouth...  (But I didn't really want to move back home anyway.)
A uni mate asked me if I wanted to live in a penthouse apartment for really good rent, so it's ideal. At least until I can afford to live in London!
