Comments on: Warts and All http://preraphaelitepunk.com/2007/08/18/warts-and-all/ Verbosity of a vegan geekgoth editor.

At least "verruca" sounds better than "wart" -- though I always think of the minor Terry Pratchett characters who were named "Verruca" because their parents though it sounded pretty. (I suppose it's marginally better than being named "Bestiality Carter."*) *And I shudder to think of what I've just done to my search string hits by typing that. Good point.
