Dude, ogged, [redacted (and post edited) to prevent spoilage] as a verb?

That's the first time I've had a grammar nitpick censored. ogged and Standpipe may have been the only people to have read my reproach, but I really meant it.

I'll bet the redaction was for spoilage, not usage, for which he remains unrepentent.

Veronica Mars wins hands down for characters being hilariously nasty to each other.

Yeah, not so much. Haven't really watched VM, but I bet Charisma was funnier and more cruel in Buffy. Different strokes, I guess.

Charisma was certainly less leather-y in Buffy. In a sense it's appropriate to the VM character, but blech.

[to redact] is a verb, possibly reflective, in some languages, is it not?

[to redact] is indeed a reflexive verb in some languages, but as of yet I believe that English is not one of them.

I didn't see her in VM, but I've seen her in other stuff. She could have used the advice from that prior sun-damage thread. (But how did she not already know it? I would think that it would be the first thing every starlet learned. )

So as a rational non-Buffydrone who avoids the trying-way-too-hard-to-be-cleverness of Joss Whedon and Joss Whedonlike objects, is there any reason I'd actually like this show?

Nor can I think of an alternative reflexive verb for the act in English.

Charisma was way nastier in VM, but she was plenty nasty on Buffy. Part of the problem with Angel was the declawing of Cordelia.

I'm sad I missed all the redaction, but let's agree that "Did that hurt your feeling?" pwns.

16: It's a great show, with good acting, likable (or enjoyably unlikable) characters, and compelling mysteries.

SJ, you'll never convince you're not Isle of Toads, but the previous post on VM had my reasons for liking the show. I'd also like to add that I hate you all.

They're not forbidden. Cala and I just observed that common practice seems to be to avoid them, and that we like it that way. And BOOT TO THE HEAD if you think otherwise.

To the extent that there's a rule, you can't state it as "no emoticons, unless this is the one time in a thousand that they'd be awesome", for obvious reasons.

there are actually only three different unfogged commenters. And the three of us have gone quite insane in each trying to determine the identity of the other two.
