Sean's Four Your Consideration Treasure Hunt
Sean Says:
Super duper star trooper
- Put any five reviews you like in your F.Y.C. list.
- Do not use reviews from the previous round - you must change them every round.
- Post here to declare that you've done it. Sooner is better than later.
- Provide a spoiler warning in your post when appropriate.
- You must read the F.Y.C.s of all participants.
- The next round starts on Monday or Thursday at 6:00 a.m. FWFR time, whichever comes next.
- The initiator of the next round will name the thread "FYCTH - #***" or "Sean's FYCTH - #***", "***" is one integer greater than the number of the current round. The initiator of the next round will copy this post verbatim and it will appear as the opening post of the next round, the only things that may be changed are fonts/colours and smileys (which may be removed altogether if desired) and the inviso comment after "Sean Says:".

Sal, at the risk of being rude could i just point out the following...
crude (krd)
adj. crud�er, crud�est
1. Being in an unrefined or natural state; raw.
2. Lacking tact or taste; blunt or offensive: a crude, mannerless oaf; a crude remark.
3. Characterized by uncultured simplicity; lacking in sophistication or subtlety: had only a crude notion of how a computer works.
4. Not carefully or skillfully made; rough: a quick, crude sketch.
5. Undisguised or unadorned; plain: must face the crude truth.
6. Statistics In an unanalyzed form; not adjusted to allow for related circumstances or data.
7. Archaic Unripe or immature.
Yes, he performs some actions that don't require refinement, but that does not make the character unrefined. I'm not suggesting that he's especially refined, but he's not especially unrefined either, so it's not notable. He does things in a rough way because he's a psychopath or similar, not because he's unable to be delicate. It would be like submitting "Non-pilot becomes king" for King Ralph. It's true that he isn't a pilot, but nothing about the situation leads one to expect him to be more like a pilot, so it's not a relevant thing to say.
ok, not having seen King Ralph (I'm presuming that there is no reference to piloting in it) i am only grasping at the gist of your argument there.
Nonetheless, in your previous post you referred to Chugar as Rough, which (sportingly illustrated) also means unrefined, leading to the pun on unrefined sugar.
Go on!! Find it in your semantics to give her a vote. |

Not really. He is rough in some of his methods, but I don't think that makes him unrefined.

Given he scrabbles around on the floor with a cop and rips his throat out with a pair of handcuffs I wouldn't call him refined either!
Voted hence.
Another hero!! 
Gentlemen, you may escort me home and mama will serve us mint juleps on the veranda.

Hey folks, it's been awhile! I've been super busy lately. I just started a new job and I'm also a volunteer publicity director for my home town's upcoming literary festival. I haven't had much time to fwiff (is that a word?) lately but here is a fresh batch.
Great Cooking one. |

Sure, but what's unrefined about him?
