Re: Radioactive Reindeer

When did it become standard practice to refer to The Editors with a singular pronoun? I've seen it done a couple of times in the past week and it makes sense of course. I always called him "they".

Did ogged forget that apostropher pointed this out to him last night, or is he refusing to credit him out of spiteful spite?

The Hero doesn't need my piddling crediting, Ben. You insult him.

Maybe not, but you would elevate yourself by crediting him.

I don't know if "spiteful" is the right word, w-lfs-n. Maybe it's just a function of ogged's inability to think about others: he didn't purposely not give credit to Apo, he just didn't remember Apo once he got what he needed from him.

You make a good point, Timbot. I'm keeping you around until one day I get something I need from you.

There's no conflict here, ogged is referring to which ever one of The Editors was bitten by a radioactive reindeer several years ago.

Ogged can leave me uncredited because he's my legal guardian.

Thanks for linking to this. I hadn't seen it because I don't read The Poor Man. Too shrill.

"Presenting the sword"

"a "Rough Rider" looks on."
