Re: Poll: A Proposition on Profanity
Also, frak is the single most annoying word ever devised.  Seriously, just say ****.  **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** (I'm going to keep this up until I make up for every time someone's said frak) **** **** **** **** **** ****
A-****ing men.  That annoyed the hell out of me in the BTRL demo.  If it's really that frequent in the actual series, I'm almost glad that I've been too lazy to watch it.

It's not. The demo uses 'frak' more times than the entire multi-hour Battlestar Galactica miniseries.

Also, shame on you, you're missing out on the best sci-fi TV show of all time.

Re: Poll: A Proposition on Profanity
The laziness plays a much greater part than the "frak" fears, and I have a bunch of stuff on my plate that needs watching before that. :p

Re: Poll: A Proposition on Profanity
Oh yeah, I know that much.

Although since I'm now trying to remember since I can't let any nerdy sci-fi reference get past me as point of nerd honor, "p'tahk" means coward or something like that doesn't it?
