Who's Who of Veronica Mars

13ghosts

Band. How they fit into the Maria Taylor/Kim Taylor bill, we're unsure, given that they're five dudes. Aha, Maria sings on one of their songs! Indie music takes care of its own, man. They round out an advertised night of Southern rock in 3.05 "President Evil."

-Polter-Cow

25

Lab rat monkey. His was destined to be a short life, filled with experimental pills, lab tests, and ending in an autopsy performed to determine the effectiveness of said pills. But his charming personality and alleged ability to play "Chopsticks" let 25 be put in the Animal Witness Protection Program as Oscar, destined to live a long full life filled with squeaky toys and an adoring scientist. Good thing Veronica has a soft spot for animals in 3.10 "Show Me the Monkey."

-funky-donut

2400

Either a spin-off of The 4400 in real-time format, or more likely, the impressive SAT score and nickname of a student. One of the secret conspirators of the Castle foolishly reveals one of the other pledges when addressing Wallace by this nickname. This gives Veronica Mars the unique opportunity to follow "2400" to the secret society's extremely secretive headquarters and unmask their slightly hobolicious head honcho. (No offense, Jake, but the last few years really haven't been kind on you. Must be karma.) 2400 proves to be the key to the Castle in 3.20 "The Bitch Is Back."

22679088

The anonymous person who sent Woody Goodman an email saying "Kill incorporation or else" and an audio file of Marcos Oliveres and Peter Ferrer saying that Woody was a pedophile. Who was the anonymous person? Was it Lucky? Perhaps we can discern some clues from those numbers. Let's see.... Twenty-two is an important number in numerology. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet and 22 Major Arcana in Tarot. Plus, it's only one number off from 23, an important number in Discordianism. Sixty-seven is an irregular and lucky prime number and also the atomic number of holmium. Ninety is a unitary perfect number and a pronic number and also the code for international direct dial to Turkey. Eighty-eight is a palindromic, a primitive semiperfect, and untouchable number and also the number of constellations in the sky. It's also a code for Heil Hitler (H being the 8th letter of the alphabet) and the amount of miles per hour the deLorean in Back to the Future had to get to to travel in time. What does this say about the anonymous sender of the email? That he likes numerology, math, holmium, turkey, constellations, Michael J. Fox, and is a Nazi? Well, okay, probably not. It probably means we just have a lot of time on our hands. These numbers (unlike Lost's) don't mean a thing in 2.21 "Happy Go Lucky."

Aaron Echolls Action Figure

According to Veronica Mars, you probably own it. Action figures have come a long way since G.I. Joe was marketed to boys as such (as heaven forbid that they would want to play with dolls). Then came Star Wars, and a symbiotic and very successful partnership was born. If Logan's dad makes twenty million a picture, it's odds on that at least one of them spawned an action figure, much as the man himself spawned his obnoxious son who is, uh, obnoxious in 1.01 "Pilot."

Joseph Abbott
See Abbott, Joseph
Abraham

Biblical patriach and champion heterosexual. Camp SelfQuest cites the time God said to Abraham, "Smite me some queers." More or less. I may have been listening to too much Bob Dylan. There's another sinner going unsmoten in 2.08 "Ahoy, Mateys!"

-marksoflove

Guy Abruti
See Abruti, Guy
Action

One of the Jet gang members in West Side Story. As Neptune goes nuclear with the 09ers and the bikers at each other's throats, Duncan and Logan go Broadway to snark at each other. Maybe they both need to remember what Riff told the explosive Action: "Boy, boy, crazy boy, get cool, boy! Got a rocket in your pocket, keep coolly cool, boy! Don't get hot, 'cause man, you got some high times ahead. Take it slow, and Daddy-O, you can live it up and die in bed!" Funny that it's Duncan who is christened Action in 2.01 "Normal Is the Watchword."

-Inigo

Adam

Fireman, as is his friend, Eddie. Adam Horowitz, friend of creator Rob Thomas, was the inspiration, but that was before he became a writer on Lost and refused to make the show suck to dislodge its stranglehold on the ratings. Like a real friend would do. As for our fireman, we never get a clear shot of his face, but who needs a face when your tush looks so good in short shorts. Lust away, ladies. He is in action in 1.01 "Pilot."

-wyk

Adam #2

Student at Neptune High. With Justin and Owen, he ranks the female population of the school. He lusts for Sarah Kramer. She is sooo out of his league, however good his olfactory faculties. His nose twitches in 1.03 "Meet John Smith."

-Inigo

Played by Andrew Levy.
Adam #3

The first man in the Bible. He fell victim to his wife's nagging ("Try the fruit, honey! Try the fruit!") and his own male ego ("God ain't got nothin' on me!"). He made nakedness naughty but nice ("Bring me my fig leaf now, woman! What do you mean, where'd I hide yours?"). He's to blame for humanity's downfall, according to Judeo-Christian tradition. The poster on the Hearst College wall agrees in 2.16 "The Rapes of Graff," and Veronica and Piz probably wish he'd left that apple alone in 3.20 "The Bitch Is Back."

Ansel Adams
See Adams, Ansel
Adrianna

Big-mouthed college friend of Lianne's. Lianne stayed with her for a while, until fear of Keith and of her friend's inability to keep a secret made her run again. Veronica was too late to find her mother, but not too late to hear Adrianna's platitudes in 1.03 "Meet John Smith."

-Inigo

Played by Michelle Fabiano.
AJ

Somebody who will see Wallace later, according to Wallace's whiteboard. Presumably not Andrew Jackson, because he's dead, or Angelina Jolie, although Wallace probably wishes it was her in 3.09 "Spit & Eggs."

-alliterator

Al

The uncle of Mr. Pasqual, who now resides in a retirement home in Waikiki. If this were a Shakespearean play, we would say something like, "Prithee, nuncle, tell me whether a retirement home make ye gentleman or a yeoman." But since this is not, we won't. Keith finds Al underneath a donut in 2.04 "Green-Eyed Monster."

-alliterator

Alan

Stuttering gambler and struggling artist. Alan may not be able to say the first word of any sentence without making several abortive attempts at it, but he does know how to sell his own football team down the river for the riches it will bring. The anything-challenged and creative poor are not normally the types who are ignoble on TV shows. So hats off to Veronica Mars for giving us such an unsympathetic, opportunistic villain in 3.03 "Wichita Linebacker."

Alkaline Trio

Pop punk band. As you might guess, this band has three members. Each member has a pH greater than 7, with a maximum of 14. If each member is as basic as can be, then they represent a combined alkalinity of 42! Could the songs of this Chicago punk outfit be the answer to the great question of Life, the Universe, and Everything? Or are they too concerned with death, as implied by the skull on their poster seen in 3.17 "Debasement Tapes"?

Allowance Fairy

That bastion of childlike hope, the Allowance Fairy feeds on the dreams and aspirations of little kids and spits out fifty bucks every week. In Neptune, she rarely visits non-09er kids, sending her cousin the Minimum Wage Fairy instead. Her trade secrets are revealed by Veronica in 2.07 "Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner."

-alliterator

Amber

A Veronica alias. Yes, she is a blonde, but don't let the ditzy voice fool you; beneath those curls and killer red sweater lies one of the sharpest minds in the P.I. biz. Veronica uses Amber to investigate the dirty dealings of a trust fund kid who emails strangers for money in 1.04 "The Wrath of Con."

-Inigo, wyk

Amber #2

Victim of libel. Amber is most certainly a wonderful, sweet, and kind person. She probably helps little old ladies to cross the street and rescues kittens from trees. The fact that there are rumors impugning her good name is just another sign of the corruption of Neptune and will no doubt tie into the major mysteries of the year! Or maybe she just stole someone's boyfriend. Either way it's doubtful that Amber was informed of her status as a bitch since her none-too-bright enemy scratched this missive into the door of Cassidy's car instead of Amber's in 2.21 "Happy Go Lucky."

Anchor Woman

Anchors the Channel 9 newscast and reports Tim Foyle's confession of murder. She's obviously good at her job since she's able to refrain from rolling her eyes at the "T.A. Foiled" headline under Tim's picture. They must teach that kind of restraint in journalism school in 3.15 "Papa's Cabin."

Dr. Andriotti
See Andriotti, Dr.
Andy

Snitch, co-worker, law enforcement...who knows? He gives Keith a tip on a bail jumper that leads to a Mars feast of meat. An all-round good guy, Andy gave the soon-to-be-fatter bounty hunter the skinny in 1.01 "Pilot."

-Inigo

Angel

Dumb and tortured vampire with a soul who...oh, wrong show. This one is no angel, but he is Weevil's uncle and has a body shop on the highway. Whether or not he'll ever give Veronica a full-service treatment remains to be seen. Angel was only mentioned in 1.01 "Pilot" but is seen in 1.05 "You Think You Know Somebody."

Played by Hector Atreyu Ruiz.
Angela

One of the frequenters of Mercer's Hearst College casino. She plays Texas Hold 'Em poker. She may or may not know when to fold 'em, but she knows a thing or two about how to fold her clothes, gaining a compliment on her wardrobe from that Bugsy Siegel wannabe in 3.03 "Wichita Linebacker."

-Inigo

Angela #2

Administrative assistant neither seen nor heard. What if Dean Cyrus O'Dell's lackey is Angela Lansbury? Taste the awesome. She and Veronica could super-sleuth together. But for now, she settles for answering the intercom in 3.06 "Hi, Infidelity."

-bethgee

Angela #3

Bank teller. The lone obstacle between Josh Barry and his small fortune in rare coins, Angela quickly accepts Josh's fake ID and lets him examine his safety deposit box in privacy. If by "privacy" you mean a room full of enormous windows. Angela is fairly clueless in 3.14 "Mars, Bars."

-grimsqueaker

Anna

Veronica alias. Veronica uses this name to track down the last person called from a cell phone, pretending to work for the radio station KRAC in order to get an address. Veronica promises, but does not deliver, an iPod and a K-RACing good time in 3.15 "Papa's Cabin."

-funky-donut

Anna Grace

Mindy's boat. It calls for a song: Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip that started from the Neptune port, aboard this tiny ship. The boat she was called the Anna Grace, the owner cute as heck. A widow, she set sail that day, with a big pay-out check, a fat juicy check... The lover started getting rough, thought he was double-crossed. They fought on the decking of the Anna Grace — the widow, she was lost; the widow, she was lost. The boat moored up off the shore of this romantic beachside bar, where Hemingway, known as Papa too, would drink away all his woes. The lover, drunk, confessed his crime to Sheriff Mars, here near Hemingway's bar. So this is the tale of the Anna Grace, the lovers now has-beens. They couldn't make the best of things in 3.15 "Papa's Cabin."

Little Orphan Annie

Anon19982

One of the names Tommy "Lucky" Dohanic used to email Woody Goodman. Anon seems to get around a lot — authors a number of famous poems, controversial letters in the newspaper and thousands of Valentine's Day cards each year. Perhaps Lucky was trying to be original here, but I think it fell flat in 2.21 "Happy Go Lucky."

-fickledame

AnonCuda411

Anonymous Person. Or is he? He responds to Veronica's ad in the Neptune Navigator about a green Barracuda, and all he seems to care about is getting the reward money deposited into his PayPal account. Turns out Mr. Anon might not be a random alcoholic or a compulsive gambler after all, but he could be Billy Greene, a PCH-er and brother of the grieving dog owner. Anon tries to a pull a fast one on Veronica in 2.19 "Nevermind the Buttocks."

Much-loved dog of Harry Greene. He met an unfortunate end when he was run over by Liam Fitzpatrick. He's no Lassie yet, but that is quite a claim to fame. Perhaps it's a lucky escape from being mistakenly skewered by his archery-enthusiast owner in 2.19 "Nevermind the Buttocks."

The Aquabats

Ska band! They purport to be superheroes from the island Aquabania! All of their album and song titles end in exclamation points! They're still popular after more than a decade! That is why you can see their poster on the KRFF wall in 3.18 "I Know What You'll Do Next Summer"!

-Polter-Cow

The Archer

The centaur bowman that decorates the back of a dorm room door. It's no coincidence that the resident of that dorm looks like a throwback to the days of New Kids on the Block. The fine print on the poster reads:
I'm Moe, and I'm a Sagittarius
And I really, really wanna be used by only you
And I want you to only use me too.
And if this is the way it's gotta be, boy, then check me out
I wanna be used by you, Mercer

Arianna

Neptune High student and animal rights activist. Supercilious, condescending and closed-minded, she leads the Students Against Animal Cruelty. Are her espoused principles genuinely felt or is she simply trying to ensure she has the monopoly on cow hide? From her dominatrix ways, we reckon there's leather next to that skin, waiting to be revealed in 1.16 "Betty and Veronica."

-alliterator

Ashley #2

Hearst student. She has some SERIOUS matters to discuss with W. These matters appear to be SERIOUS in a HELA fashion. While one may first think that Ashley simply did not have time to add one more L to her HELLA, we suspect that she was referring to the HeLa cell line. She's probably working in one of those labs without monkeys, and she needs Wallace to change her media. Wallace, my lad, don't forget to add the glutamine in 3.16 "Un-American Graffiti."

-Polter-Cow

Assistant

Working for the Vice-Principal. Her important contribution to this particular story is telling Clemmons that there is a husky-voiced impostor assistant district supervisor on the phone, but this she accomplishes with fervor in 1.18 "Weapons of Class Destruction."

Played by Alicia Cole.
Assistant #2

Assistant #3

Secretary to Bill Lee. San Diego's leading ensemble theatre, Lamb's (hee) Players Theatre, provides the actress who gets to tell Woody's lawyer that Woody's daughter "Gia" wants him to call her on her cell, whereby Keith used that call to track the suspected pedophile.

Atom Ant

Cartoon member of the Formicidae family. With the catchphrase "up and at 'em, Atom Ant," this superhero would use his fabulous strength and flying skills whilst his Saturday morning co-star, Secret Squirrel, would dig out truths with his pre-Inspector Gadget gadgets and snooping nature. Keith must see a little of the former in his skills-of- the-latter-blessed daughter. Why else would he so instruct her to rise and conquer in 1.01 "Pilot"?

-Inigo

Aubrey

One of the Ladies of the Evening who advertises "A Night or Two?" How about a week or two? She'll stay the summer through, but she's telling you that she must be...well, what's the opposite of going? Aubrey certainly seems to be advertising to that effect in 1.17 "Kanes and Abel's."

Bad Company

Band from the days when Keith Mars was cool. While listening to Deputy Sacks, Ex-Deputy Leo and talking to desk clerk Inga Olofson hardly puts Keith in bad company, his reading material of choice might be an entirely different matter in 2.12 "Rashard & Wallace Go To White Castle."

-grimsqueaker

Bad Livers

Band that Sully likes. Either they espouse a life of immorality, Bad Livers, or they drink a lot, Bad Livers. Which I guess some people might say is the same thing. Either way, their poster is up in Sully's room in 3.07 "Of Vice and Men."

Baldwin Brothers

Fraternity of actors/loose cannons.

Daniel? Well, there was never anything nice to say about Daniel. At any rate, Veronica doesn't want to engage in a rap session about any of the Baldwin gang in 3.17 "Debasement Tapes."

Internet handle for an escort from premiereescorts.biz. Man, if there's two things that shouldn't be combined, it's cute animated deer and sex.

Bambi_Gasm is surprising in 2.13 "Ain't No Magic Mountain High Enough."

Band Dork

Neptune High Student. He's decked out in school colors while watching Wallace's flagpole humiliation and volunteers that "the bikers did it."

Monster. The story of Beauty and the Beast is really great, see, because there's this scary, horrific beast who is but a soft, loving prince inside, and then there's this total hunk, right, who is sooo hot OMG and yet in his heart is an utter brute! It's, like, totally profound and stuff. But here on Veronica Mars, everyone is always exactly what they appear to be outside, so let's just look at this pretty picture of the dignified and classy Principal Moorehead for the rest of this entry. It's super tough to find a beauty and a beast hobnobbing in 2.09 "My Mother, the Fiend."

-marksoflove

The Beatles

In the words of a myopic judge, a "popular beat combo" of the sixties. Or, you know, the biggest (and some, like Keith Mars, say greatest) band of all time. Two members are dead now, but we hate Madison, so we're not going to quibble over the soundness of Veronica's conclusion that if Madison's parents really loved her, they would have gotten the real Beatles to play "Birthday" for her in 1.11 "Silence of the Lamb." Former rock star Desmond Fellows acknowledges their influence (or decides to eschew leg irons) ...eventually in 3.17 "Debasement Tapes."

Becker

Neptune High student and victim of Cap'n Krunk and Imitation Crab. According to the radio pirates, this boy is so hideous and stupid, he has to force himself on his dates to get some.

He's on the wrong track, but failure is not an option, so he doesn't let that put a dent in his arrest record. Yucky guy.

A Veronica alias. She's blonde and curly and oh-so-peppy. The students at Pan High think Betty is freakin' hot; the students at Neptune High think Veronica is so not. What in the world is wrong with the 09ers?! Off-the-cuff adoption of this name was inspired by meeting Archie lookalike Richie in 1.16 "Betty and Veronica."

-Inigo, wyk

Beverly

Secretary of Woody Goodman. Rolling her eyes at her boss, snarking at Logan Echolls, smiling at Keith Mars, and surviving the episode make this model's government worker's guest spot a tad more successful than those of rental car desk clerk Stacy and journalism teacher Leslie Dumass. No wonder Beverly's a winner in 2.17 "Plan B."

Bianconsino

Biff

One of Veronica's imaginary friends. When Meg and Duncan sit down with her, Veronica bids Biff move his butt in 1.18 "Weapons of Class Destruction."

-Inigo

Big Al

Victim of the Neptune High School bus tragedy? At the one temporary memorial of most interest to the Hawaiian-shirted man is the message, "Goodbye Big Al." The driver's name was Ed, Ms. Dumass wasn't big, Cervando doesn't contract easily into Al, and Meg isn't gone. Who the hell is Big Al? Is the death of another biker noted in 2.02 "Driver Ed"?

-Inigo

Big Boy

Pi Sigma-ite. His name is written large in a Comic Sans-eque print, yet his score is but a mediocre 100. I could make all sorts of joke about size and overcompensation, but the fact that he is involved in a contest where he gets numerical scores for the girls naive or drunk enough to sleep with him sort of makes all my jokes for me. Big Boy is a sad example of humanity in 2.16 "The Rapes of Graff."

-public displays of lust

Big Brother

Dictator/figurehead. He's watching you. Right now, really. While you're doing that math problem. 2 + 2? Can you puzzle that one out? It's 5, dude. 2 + 2 = 5. Believe it, man. Big Brother said so. Logan has always been at war with Veronica in 3.03 "Wichita Linebacker."

-Polter-Cow

Big John and the Loveladies

Band. We really don't want to think about where John got his nickname and why he has so many Loveladies, so instead we'll make fun of his poster on the wall of a Hearst hallway. It looks to be made using Crayola markers. This is college, guys! Can't you just make fliers, like the one next to your poster that "seek[s] a bassist"? Hey, that's not you guys, is it? Are you bassless? Perhaps my accusations are baseless in 3.18 "I Know What You'll Do Next Summer."

-Polter-Cow

Big! Dave

Pi Sigma Sigmoron. Not one to be bound by petty things like "convention" or "punctuation," Big! Dave takes exclamation points to a whole new level. Veronica would probably want to know, though: sure, it's Big! — but is it Legendary!? Judging by B!D's paltry score of 110, it's a safe bet that this hog is no match for the greats. Size matters in 2.16 "The Rapes of Graff."

-marksoflove

Bigfoot

Legendary ape-like beast. Reports of Bigfoot sightings are often dubious and sometimes accompanied by conveniently blurry or indistinct photos, so we seriously doubt that there is actually a—holy crap, look over there! It's Bigf—oh, too late. You missed him. Lamb thinks we can safely cross Bigfoot off the list of rape suspects in 3.06 "Hi, Infidelity."

Billy

Pan High School mascot. You'll never guess what Billy is. Go on. Give it a go. An eiderdown duck? No, that's not it. A lemur? Come on! You're not even trying. An antelope? Closer, but no cigar. Billy is a...goat. Cool, huh? Billy Goat Gruff has it a bit rough in 1.16 "Betty and Veronica."

-Inigo

Billy #2

A roadie for The Unwashed, we assume, since he was selling their CDs at the door of Winston's. Perhaps he is a kid or a goat or perhaps he is just the assistant of a schoolteacher-turned-president who stupidly tragically met his death. Or maybe not. One can never tell in 3.01 "Welcome Wagon."

Biology Teacher

An educator in the birds and the bees, and the snakes and the ladders of life. Yes, it's Buddy's buddy, the teacher who thinks feeding live rats to pythons is suitable entertainment at Neptune High. He has to find something to do to distinguish himself as his roll call is a little on the dry side, and not in a Rowan Atkinson way, in 2.19 "Nevermind the Buttocks."

-Inigo

Played by David Patrick Green.
Bird Dawg

Fraternity nickname of Andrew "Drew" Barndale. It figures that someone with life ambitions seemingly underscoring even Dick's would want to name himself after an animal whose greatest achievements are panting and retrieving dead fowl. Drew sucks at puns in 2.16 "The Rapes of Graff."

-grimsqueaker

Carrie Bishop
 
Bizen

One of several of Desmond Fellows' nicknames for Piz. Bizen is a city in Japan famous for pottery. Piz is a college DJ in California known for talking too much. Yeah, we see the connection. Desmond keeps us guessing with the geographically referential nicknames in 3.17 "Debasement Tapes."

-starxdsparrow

Black Eyed Peas

Not a much-abused vegetable, but a hip-hop group that was the first to ask, "Where is the love?" They were fallin' up in the BEP Empire over weekends when they got original. They don't lie when they pump it and say, "Hey mama, shut up." Veronica doesn't phunk with their heart in 2.05 "Blast from the Past."

-alliterator

The Black Heart Procession

An indie rock back from San Diego. Piz has a poster of them in his room. They have a unique sound for an indie band, with electric keyboards, samplers, and even a saw. Unfortunately, the only procession of black hearts is Mercer and Moe fleeing the scene in 3.09 "Spit & Eggs."

-alliterator

Black Licorice

Piz's band. He claims to that he doesn't want a radio DJ gig just to get exposure for his band. With a name like Black Licorice — which he describes as being "dark and moody, but at the same time, it's candy" — they're going to need all the help they can get in 3.03 "Wichita Linebacker."

-funky-donut

BlackCat70

Screen name for a groupie. As a fan of My Pretty Pony, this chatstress took Desmond's suggestion to "surprise [him]" while he was in town literally, awaiting him in his hotel room clad only in leopard-print lingerie after climbing down from the balcony above on a sheet. Unfortunately, this vixen was not the vixen Desmond was looking for, as she was actually of age. Her real-life alter-ego is a boring assistant professor of Chinese, but Blackcat70 still knows how to walk on the wild side in 3.17 "Debasement Tapes."

-funky-donut

BlackCat80

My Pretty Pony fan and Desmond Fellows groupie. One can see how Desmond got confused, what with the similarity in names between this nubile young thing and BlackCat70. Desmond is disappointed not to be surprised by BlackCat80 in 3.17 "Debasement Tapes."

Blind Date #1

A rather ditzy lady who thinks Keith may have taken a shine to her. Oh, hon, you're no Alicia. Or Rebecca, for that matter. You seem sweet enough, but it's entirely possible that the desperate vibe you're sending out could be why the dating service "It's Just Coffee" didn't work for you. Blind Date doesn't get lucky with Keith in 2.18 "I Am God."

-funky-donut

Blind Date #2

A blind date of Keith's. She apparently enjoys indulging in extensive criticism, talking about her ex-husband, and making really off-base comparisons soon after meeting her dates. One cannot imagine why she, of all people, needs a dating service! She suggests a bit of change for Keith in 2.18 "I Am God"

Blind Date #3

Office manager for a local doctor. Keith finally stumbles upon the Ms. Right who can lead him to the doctor who's been diagnosing Neptune High students with Generalized Anxiety Disorder as long as they can turn their heads and cough up the $1000 "co-pay" for his services. Ms. Right outs the Good Doctor 2.18 "I Am God.".

Blinky

A name Veronica calls Thumper. What's in a name? Blinky is the name of the main character in a magazine serial by Gene Markey, yes. It also spawned an Edward Sedgwick, comedic Western/cavalry film from the 1920s. But neither of these can really explain why Veronica thought this was Thumper's name in 2.10 "One Angry Veronica."

Blonde Female Caller

Fan of Desmond Fellows'. From mere feet away in the caf, this former My Pretty Pony follower calls Piz's radio show for a chance to chat with her idol. Perhaps she's a super-recent henna convert, because while clearly a redhead (and referenced as such), the credits bill her as "blonde female caller." Offered the role of groupie (or at least invited to humor everyone with a quick flash), her delusions of Desmond's grandeur are quickly dashed in 3.17 "Debasement Tapes."

Blue Oyster Cult

Band whose biggest hit, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," featured on Keith's 8-track in 1977 (and on Veronica Mars). For Keith, this is proffered as proof that he was cool. For the rest of us, this is incontrovertible proof that he is in the grips of a fever and the only prescription is...more cowbell!! Will Ferrell's Gene Frenkle's legacy lives on in 1.01 "Pilot."

-Inigo

Blue Stripper

Stripper who...wears blue pants? Or maybe her name is actually Blue. Or both. Either way, she was quite offended when Tim suggested that she and her friend might have bummed a cigarette from a stranger. I mean, come on: taking your clothes off and dancing around a pole while men shove singles in your G-string is one thing, but smoking? A girl's got to have some standards and self-respect in 3.15 "Papa's Cabin."

Bob

Imaginary house vendor. Ever the pragmatist, Weevil responds to the math problem of Bob selling houses at a 5% commission by suggesting that Bob should find something more lucrative to sell. Oh, how we wish that Francis's agent was as diligent in maximizing his client's screen time as Weevil is in maximizing his profit margin in 1.19 "Hot Dogs."

-Inigo

Bob #2

Student at Neptune High and Jane Kuhne's chauffeur friend. Bob is at the loser's end of the who-wants-to-get-into-whose-pants dance that is high school. Carrying Jane's books and driving her around is no substitute for the allure of basketball star Wallace Fennel in 2.02 "Driver Ed."

-Inigo

Bob #3

Frisbee-playing Hearst College student. How pleasant, bobbing along, bobbing along with a Frisbee on the beautiful college green. What a chance to get a better peep at the near-nude creature in his sleep. Bob glides, tripping o'er the Pi Sigs' pride, obscene though the knickers make the scene...it's lovely, bobbing along, bobbing along to find Diller on the beautiful college green. Lucky for Chip, it wasn't a bedknob or a broomstick up his ass in 3.08 "Lord of the Pi's."

Bobcat

Name Logan is not allowed to call Veronica when her Dad is around. We really wonder why Logan shouldn't use this charming nickname, because after all, how could a reference to a feral feline be construed to mean something not entirely innocent?

-Inigo

Bombero

Pi Sigma-ite. Did this wannabe Don Juan also wannabe a throwback to the '90s like his fratmate The Bomb or did he just want to be called "fireman" only with more Latin flavor? Of course, judging by his rather sad score of 50, perhaps other people started calling him that because of his ability to single-handedly put out the fires of, er, passion? The origin of this jerk's nickname is a mystery in 2.16 "The Rapes of Graff."

Bookish Female TA

Cute, giggly teaching assistant at Hearst who seems to think fixing a thermostat is worthy of undying adoration.

Boy

Jackie Cook's two-year-old son. Kid's screwed, of course, not knowing his mother from his grandmother. If his life truly follows in the path trod by Bobby Darin, he'll have a good time, marry and divorce an ingénue who makes her name in re-make of Gidget, then die at the age of thirty-seven. Or not.

Boy George

Singer, songwriter, and flamboyantly gay leader of the eighties band Culture Club. Tad thinks he is insulting Seth by calling him Boy George.

Brer Rabbit

The main character in the folktales of Uncle Remus, as collected by Joel Chandler Harris. Brer Rabbit is the amiable trickster who, when trapped by Brer Fox, begs not to be thrown into the briar patch. This is exactly what the silly fox does, enabling Brer Rabbit to escape. Lamb has read the story and delights in avoiding Veronica's trap of telling him that Duncan's not in Mexico. But Veronica is a really tricky trickster and counts on him avoiding her trap, thus entrapping him more in 2.11 "Donut Run."

Brett

Leader of the paintballers. Though Brett is not his real name, that's the moniker Veronica saddles him with when she accuses him of vandalizing Babylon Gardens. Consider yourself lucky you aren't Towelie, Brett. Brett's mischief making (and random paintball shootings) is brought to an end by Veronica in 3.16 "Un-American Graffiti."

Brother of an indiscreet hospital worker. This is how gossip works. Brian's brother tells Brian. Brian tells Ashley. Ashley tell Carrie. Carrie tells Susan. Veronica eavesdrops to discover that Duncan is loony-tunes bonkers. All good fun in 1.14 "Mars vs. Mars."

Best roommate a guy could have — or something. Max has Brian and Fred to thank for his heartbreak, since they just couldn't live with themselves knowing that Brian was rooming with a *gasp* virgin!

Buckcherry

An L.A. rock and roll band with songs that get strippers in a fighting mood. Catholic School Girl complains bitterly that her seniority gives her first refusal in song choices and that Tory can't claim the band wrote one specially for her. Now this, of course, all depends on whether Tory is an alias for Buck Cherry, the notorious Hollywood transvestite who used to bum cigarettes from that band and from whom they took their name. Somebody, possibly masquerading as John Enbom, knew their rock history in 3.15 "Papa's Cabin."

Snake not on a plane. In fact, this snake is positively grounded, stuck in a high school biology class. He lives on a steady diet of rats because whole-animal cuisine is where it's at. An attempt to feed him processed rat meat shaved into thin, sprinkle-ready portions would be met with "I've had it with these flakes!"

The name Fern Delgado uses when "Veronica" is too hard to remember. It's a mistake, for that name has a particular resonance with our chosen one. Veronica isn't just going through the motions, for she has a theory when she finds the bunnies that left Chip a Keister egg. If they're together, the Lilith House girls are the mustard under the spell of revenge, even if they'll never tell. Male rape isn't a parking ticket, but Veronica may let this one rest in peace as deserved punishment — a dawn's lament for Patrice Pitrelli. No matter what you feel about it, Veronica may well be standing up for rough justice, if not wholesale faked rapes, for she's walked through the fire and knows that humiliation isn't something to sing about. Question is, where does she go from here after 3.08 "Lord of the Pi's"?

Or better yet, that music genres would just dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee? Ahem. Sorry. Issues. Anyway, Max's "friend" Fred may not have a lot going for him, but he is wholly redeemed in this writer's view by having a Calexico poster on the wall in his dorm room, because Calexico are fab. Seriously fab. This is from someone who doesn't like country music as a rule. The covers of "All Tomorrow's Parties" and "Wild Horses," performed with Iron & Wine playing on my iTunes now are so stunningly beautiful that I am reduced to incoherent babbling, just like Fred...isn't really in 3.11 "Poughkeepsie, Tramps and Thieves."

Caligula

Roman emperor of questionable morals. Depraved and cruel, he was deposed after only four years, making way for his stuttering old uncle Claudius. Man, that Caligula.

He applied for a job at the latest variation of Starbucks to open in Neptune and was happy to get an interview. Dressed in his Sunday best, he headed for Cappuccino Minibars. Dyslexia led him to the headquarters of the Rev. Ted. Both declared it an act of God, a match in heaven was made, and Carl found his true calling...humping boxes and still not getting a line. Kidding. It's probably not the same guy in 3.12 "There's Got To Be A Morning After Pill."

-Inigo

Carl #3

Concerned member of the Neptune Homeowners' Association. He throws around what appears to be the Homeowners' Association's considerable weight, leaning on Keith to get results in the robbery cases before the impending election. If Carl thinks Vinnie would be a better sheriff, he obviously isn't as smart as he thinks he is in 3.18 "I Know What You'll Do Next Summer."

Carlita

One of the help. She should feel honored that someone as important as Lynn Echolls would even bother learning her name. She teeters on the edge to ensure that there are no bald patches on the Christmas tree for a super-duper 1.10 "An Echolls Family Christmas."

-Inigo, wyk

Carlita #2

One of Veronica's imaginary friends. When Meg and a reluctant Duncan join her for lunch, she asks Carlita to make room in 1.18 "Weapons of Class Destruction."

Caroler #1

Here we come a-wassailing
among the leaves so green

This grinning caroler seems as fascinated with his singing partner, Caroler #2, as he is with the holiday tune they perform. Either he's already had his share of wassail, or he's wondering how much wassail it will take before she sheds that prim, Victorian costume of hers. He is hopeful in 1.10 "An Echolls Family Christmas."

-topanga

Played by Kevin James Brando.
Caroler #2

The shortest of the bunch, she proves that powerful voices can be housed in small bodies. This tiny diva sings her heart out in 1.10 "An Echolls Family Christmas."

Caroler #8

Are the mischievous grin and seductive eyebrow raising part of the choreography? This caroler must be practicing for his upcoming date in 1.10 "An Echolls Family Christmas."

-topanga

Carrie

Teen witch without the cuteness. No Willow or Sabrina, Carrie is horribly bullied by nasty high schoolers and John Travolta. They fix the prom queen vote, then douse her with blood when she's crowned. Big mistake. Carrie has been cursed with powerful telekinesis and tears the place apart. Although she approves of the grievous bodily harm her minions attempt on Veronica's jacket, Arianna is not quite so effective in silencing opposition in 1.16 "Betty and Veronica."

-Inigo

Carrie #2

A fan of Landry's work. One must wonder as to which is the scarier: parents who name their child after a blood-soaked fictional witch who wipes out the population of teenagers in a small town, or a girl who stalks a criminology writer to the extent of tracking down his cell phone number so she can call him and gush? Either way, Landry should have taken it as something of an omen, given events in 3.15 "Papa's Cabin."

Cat Fighter

She's a feisty one! When the results of the purity test become public, she publicly confronts her "best friend" who apparently had some sort of relationship with her boyfriend. You go, girl! Or maybe not. Chaos reigns (and Agent Smart is nowhere in sight) in 1.08 "Like a Virgin."

-alliterator

Cat in the Hat Raver

Neptune High student. Her claim to fame largely consists of being one of the first people passed by our luminous heroine, but she can also pride herself on being one of the passive bystanders at Wallace's humiliating first day of school. At least there is no denying she looks cute in that hat in 1.01 "Pilot."

-grimsqueaker

Played by Amber Ojeda.
Catholic School Girl

Stripper. Or, according to Veronica, possibly just a down-on-her-luck schoolgirl carrying concealed produce. She may think men are scum, but she still helps point Veronica and Tim in the direction of someone who might be able to help find Veronica's supposed deadbeat dad. Her tip proves fruitless, but it's the thought that counts in 3.15 "Papa's Cabin."

-misskiwi

Played by Jennifer Blanc.
Cathy

Cashier. Works in Accounts Payable at the sheriff's department. Given what a tool Lamb is and the likelihood that Keith will regularly recover lost prisoners, she probably sees him more often than it might seem from 1.02 "Credit Where Credit's Due."

-Inigo

Cathy #2

Fellow classmate in Veronica's Intro to Criminology class. Cathy seems to have taken a shine to their professor — Dr. Landry. Since he's a criminology professor, we're sure he's aware that dating a college student is slightly frowned upon. Cathy may have to rival Veronica's affections for him, but with Veronica happily in a relationship, Cathy's got dibs in 3.01 "Welcome Wagon."

Missing dog. Look at her him. Isn't she he cute? Look at these soft ears and her his earnest loving eyes. Don't you just want to pick Lola Chappie up and steal her him? We know Hans would. Kristen Bell's dog does double duty in 1.19 "Hot Dogs."

-grimsqueaker

Charlie

Neptune High student. Being mentally challenged doesn't stop him from being enchanted with Jackie's beauty. She graciously invites him to the Sadie Hawkins dance, and they dance the night away — at least, until his mother abruptly whisks him away so he can get to bed on time. Mentally challenged or not, Charlie probably wishes he could rip his mother a new one in 2.17 "Plan B."

-topanga

Played by Caleb Steinmeyer.
Charlie's Angel

One of a trio of nubile women working for a voice in a box. Really. Without ever mussing her hair or breaking a nail, an angel can roll out of a moving car. Veronica is tempted to play an angel in 1.02 "Credit Where Credit's Due."

-Inigo

Charlie's Mom

Much like Alicia Fennel a long time ago, she is gullible enough to let a man's bad reputation sully her image of his daughter. She ruins her son's evening in 2.17 "Plan B."

Sir Cheats-a-Lot

Slightly trite nickname. Hearkening back to the greatest knight that ever did sit at the round table (or perhaps that jolly, bootie-loving, hip-hopster from Seattle), Veronica makes no bones about what she thinks of the ethics of Max's stolen terms papers business. But he likes big bucks and he cannot lie in 3.11 "Poughkeepsie, Tramps and Thieves."

-bethgee

Chuck E. Cheese
See Cheese, Chuck E.
Chelsea

One of many pseudonyms for sweet-faced, gold-hearted sex worker Wendy, who is hired by Max's friends Brian and Fred to teach him about the birds and the bees. Maybe she was lying about being a Battlestar Galactica addict, but it turns out that she and Max did make a "connection" that night at Comic-Con (when all they did was talk). Her white knight pays ten grand to get her out of the prostitution business, and they live in harmony for a few days painting each other's nails. In the end, though, "Chelsea" repays Max by jumping ship and leaving a note thanking him for introducing her to the world of honest romance. Or, you know, regular old dishonest romance, but without the monetary compensation. She also drops off a thousand dollars and promises to give him the rest, so Max wasn't totally screwed in 3.11 "Poughkeepsie, Tramps and Thieves."

-ninamazing

Chelsea #2

This Chelsea is the only one of that name Veronica found on the Erotic Critique, a detailed and multi-functional search engine for sex workers (God bless the Internet!). Unfortunately, this Chelsea's kind of a transvestite, not the cute-as-a-button hooker who sexlessly seduced Max at Comic-Con, only to find and then leave him again in 3.11 "Poughkeepsie, Tramps and Thieves".

Absent poker player. Weevil is able to find a seat at the Echolls Christmas poker tournament thanks to Chester going AWOL. We bet it has something to do with the lack of clean underwear in 1.10 "An Echolls Family Christmas."

-Inigo

Chester #2

Mandy's Jack Russell terrier. It is his disappearance from the 09er house where Mandy was baby-sitting that leads to the uncovering of corruption at the local dog pound in 1.19 "Hot Dogs."

-Inigo

Chicks on Speed

German-born electropop group requested at the beginning of the frat party edition of Club Flush. In addition to song-making, they also have their own record label, design clothes and artwork, and have published a book. They're a group of hard-working, focused young ladies, and they would probably have kicked the shit out of Mercer Hayes in 3.09 "Spit & Eggs."

-tallow

Chico

A name and a number in a matchbook. Lilly tortured her mother by creating it and leaving it lying around, as she tells Veronica in 1.22 "Leave It to Beaver."

-Inigo

Chief

Mexican law enforcement official. Sheriff Mars enlists his jurisdictional assistance in Cabo to apprehend a pair of fugitives wanted for questioning on the Neptune side of the border. Keith probably appreciates the chief taking time off from pursuing el cornballer in 3.15 "Papa's Cabin."

-Polter-Cow

Chris #2

A name on one of Mac's posters. Computer nerds must stick together and there can be no doubt that Mac is paying homage to MI.net's very own media king and coder extraordinaire, chris. Sweetie, you didn't have to put him up on your wall, you know. All it takes to get on his good side is water a beer. He really is easy, unlike Parker in 3.02 "My Big Fat Greek Rush Week."

-Inigo

Chris #3

Soccer dude at Hearst College. At least that's what the message says on Tony's door, where Chris reminds him of the game at 3 on Sunday. With big posters on his wall, Tony's a big fan...so why the f@#& does he call it soccer! It's football, dude! The beautiful game! Played mostly with the foot, not four tons of protective equipment grasping a pigskin. Chris reminds the rest of the world that the Yanks insist on going their own way in 3.12 "There's Got To Be A Morning After Pill."

Saint Christopher

A Christian holy man. The patron saint of travelers is in for a ride when Driver Ed buys his medal and then throws it away just to get some change. Ed jinxes his chances in 2.02 "Driver Ed."

Chuckles

An aborted nickname for Veronica by Logan. Did he realize that she doesn't laugh that often, or maybe that she wasn't a evil, murderous, scary clown? Or maybe clowns frighten him (like they do so many people) in 3.15 "Papa's Cabin."

-alliterator

Chuya

A word that appears on page 86 of Priscilla's — a.k.a. Kendall — yearbook. Chuya? Who...what...where...is Chuya? Is Chuya really the name of a person who is associated with Handley High? According to the person who gathers the list of names for our Who's Who section, yes it is. According to the writer who is struggling to come up for a bio for this alleged person, Chuya is a river and mountain in Russia, therefore Chuya doesn't need a bio in 2.19 "Nevermind the Buttocks."

-wyk

Cindy

Another friend of Caitlin Ford. Except, maybe not any longer after Caitlin's skanky behavior in 1.02 "Credit Where Credit's Due."

-Inigo

Cindy #2

Another doll. The Brit alternative to Barbie, so less plastic surgery and top heaviness, and more cheap and cheerful, sort of like Madison and Mac. Mac's parents pondered between the names of the two dolls for their newborn babe, opting for Cindy. Thank god they didn't include other dolls on that list. Could we have liked Mac half as much if we'd learned her real name was Cabbage Patch Mackenzie in 1.11 "Silence of the Lamb"?

-Inigo

Cindy #3

Freshman at Neptune High, the night of Shelly Pomroy's party. Considered easy, she had agreed with Dick to take Beaver's virginity that night. However, the girl had second thoughts, and better taste, and went home with Logan instead. All is revealed in 1.21 "A Trip to the Dentist."

-Inigo

Played by Billie Jones.
Cindy #4

Waitress at the Hut. Wow, Cindy must be a really popular name in Neptune. Or maybe the parents in Neptune are just really unimaginative. Cindy takes the cake (well, pie actually) in 2.02 "Driver Ed."

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Indie rock band with the most self-consciously hip name, well, ever. I mean, really. "Clap Your Hands Say Yeah"? What does that even mean? It just screams, "No matter how much our music sucks, you won't be cool unless you listen to us and tell all your friends, BUT we can't actually get famous because then we won't be cool anymore." Max thinks he's cool, since he displays a CYHSY poster in 3.11 "Poughkeepsie, Tramps and Thieves."

In 1979, they released an album called London Calling, which mixed together styles from rockabilly, '60s-style pop, lounge jazz, R&B, ska, rocksteady, hard rock, and reggae and revolutionized the rock scene. Three songs from that album, "Train in Vain," "The Clampdown," and "London Calling" are still played regularly on rock radio stations. Piz doesn't live by the river, but he was able to find the album for only a dollar in 3.06 "Hi, Infidelity."

Claudius

A character in Shakespeare's Hamlet. Claudius poisons the rightful king, and with the help of his minions Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed, he takes over Denmark until Hamlet can oust him and complete the circle of life. No...wait. That's The Lion King. Well, whatever. Cartoons, the works of the Bard, Doctor Who, what's the difference, right? Judging by the chalkboard, Claudius, along with the non-animated, -musical, and -fun version of his tale, is apparently being studied by Mr. Daniel's lit class in 1.07 "The Girl Next Door."

Clete, the Crime-Fighting Canine

A dog who fights crime, kinda like Scruff McGruff. In Veronica's dream, Keith says that Lamb has to wear Clete's cape to all the elementary schools, showing that even in her dreams, Veronica metes out good punishments. We want to see Lamb in a cape in 2.22 "Not Pictured."

Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel

A redneck hillbilly resident of Springfield, Cletus is married to his sister Brandine and has 31 children. Some might even have an IQ higher than 90. Cletus even has his own theme song:
Some folk'll never eat a skunk
and then again some folk'll,
like Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel!

The only way James Bond could look like Cletus is if Wallace's tux was magical, which he says it is in 2.20 "Look Who's Stalking."

The servant who spends Beckett's Endgame wheeling his master round in futility. Hey. Kevin Hand, jobbing actor, gets to play him in 1.04 "The Wrath of Con."

-Inigo

Clown

Neptune High Student. We can't blame him for wanting to take a picture with a shirtless Wallace Fennel, but doing so while Wallace is duct-taped to a flagpole is just plain mean. Maybe his thinning-on-top coif longs to be in the presence of a thick head of curly hair. Dude tries to be a badass with Veronica, but the sight of her switchblade shuts him up in 1.01 "Pilot."

Club Flush

A KRFF Hearst College radio show, hosted by the one and only Mercer Hayes. You have to admit, the name of his program upholds the same standards of base humor as Cap'n Krunk and Imitation Crab. However, while those pirate radio DJs were molested and nicknamed after a South Park character respectively, Mercer is only the owner of an illegal gambling establishment, the Benetian. He is suspected of being the Hearst rapist, though. We don't learn much about Flush in 3.01 "Welcome Wagon," but we learn more than enough in 3.06 "Hi, Infidelity."

We reckoned that maybe she was Paul's sister, but a quick gander at the sides shows that she was Paul's ex, and a lawyer, and a character with a lot of lines at one point. Hmm.

A fratboy on the Pi Sigma scoreboard. A simple name for what we presume is a simple kind of guy. He managed to score 200 points for his recent escapade, so the tried-and-true pick-up line, "Come here much?" must still work. We assume so in 2.16 "The Rapes of Graff."

-topanga

Dance Team Advisor

The leader-apparent of the Pep Squad car wash encourages Veronica and Lilly to talk less and scrub more. Perhaps if Lilly had talked more, there would have been less of her to be scrubbed up from the Kane swimming pool. Gross, but true. Ms. Stay-Focused silences the girls in 1.01 "Pilot."

-topanga

Played by Nicole Monica.
Daniella

Taut blonde in Taut Blonde. Or perhaps she's a taught blonde, which would be an oxymoron in most states. Unless she's truly not blonde in 1.18 "Weapons of Class Destruction."

-Polter-Cow

Danielle

Party girl with taste. Like pretty much all of the female guests at the alterna-prom, Danielle isn't too keen to get close to Dick's, erm, hog. Applaud her on her good sense in 2.20 "Look Who's Stalking."

Dante

Friend of Weevil. Probably a member of the PCH bikers and thus living on the wrong side of Neptune, Dante certainly knows inferno better than paradise. Weevil has got his number in 2.04 "Green-Eyed Monster."

-grimsqueaker

Daphne

The pretty Scooby-Doo character who isn't Fred. Veronica aspires to be her in 1.05 "You Think You Know Somebody."

-Inigo

Daphne #2

An escort's pseudonym. Was Sugar Jones trying to summon up images of a young redheaded mystery-solver when she gave this name to Cliff? Perhaps aware of a secret passion of Cliff's for girl detec- No, wait. That line of thought is a little disconcerting. Forget I mentioned it. In any case, Daphne is not someone's actual name in 2.16 "The Rapes of Graff."

-public displays of lust

Darcy

Casey Gant's ex-girlfriend. She reckons she was dumped so Casey could schtup a teacher in 1.09 "Drinking the Kool-Aid."

-Inigo

Played by Courtnee Draper.
Darla

A member of PHAT and activist against Ed Argent and his bow-hunting lifestyle. She nearly tricks Veronica and Mac into shedding their clothes for the cause, but it's all an April Fool's joke (in January). We wonder if her last name is Morgendorffer in 3.10 "Show Me the Monkey."

Dr. Dave

Grief counselor. Veronica spent an hour every Thursday for six weeks staring at him across the ottoman. He's downtown. She was sent to him so she could forget all her worries, forget all her cares. But the lights were no brighter for her there. She'd have been better off if she'd listened to the music of the traffic of the city. Veronica lingers on the sidewalk where the neon lights are pretty in 1.09 "Drinking the Kool-Aid."

-Inigo

Dave

Jackie's date. Is this handsome young man just an old friend to Jackie, or possibly more? Veronica has her suspicions in 2.03 "Cheatty Cheatty Bang Bang", but Jackie feels comfortable enough to mention him to Wallace in 2.05 "Blast from the Past."

Probably only ranks behind finding out a month later that the guy who did it to you is not only still running around free, but is making his habit a serial one. Dawn and Stacy have a nasty reason to bond in 2.16 "The Rapes of Graff."

Declan

Member of the Fighting Fitzpatricks. This wannabe boxer practices his punching technique on the runt of the PCHers. Usually we would tell a big, mean bully such as Declan to pick on someone his own size, but considering the vertically-challenged, gym-adverse physique of some the PCHers, it might not be possible for the totally buff Declan to find a worthy adversary in 2.19 "Nevermind the Buttocks."

George Dedlos
See Dedlos, George
DeeDee

Hearst student. We know she can measure time since she knows how long it takes for eight seconds to go by. Maybe, however, she rides bulls in her spare time, so that particular unit of time is quite noticeable. And as Dick learns, when you mess with the bullrider, you'll get the horns...of her boyfriend 3.01 "Welcome Wagon."

-Polter-Cow

Played by Mandy Gill.
Deep Throat

Washington Post informant who helped to break the Watergate story. Or a film starring Linda Lovelace about, uh, about...family-friendly site, family-friendly site. The ambiguity as to which D.T. Veronica is referring made Weevil blush in 1.14 "Mars vs. Mars."

Played by Zadran Wali.
Deputy #2

Does the sheriff's bidding in Kretchmer County. He must be bucking for his boss's job, or just desperate to please, to work hard enough to find the few spots of blood left in the death cabin of Kendall Casablancas. However, any points scored for observation are lost in his failure to recognize a Vincent Van Gogh in 3.02 "My Big Fat Greek Rush Week."

-Inigo

Played by Norman Black.
Derrick's Brother

Brother of Derrick Karr. He was injured in Iraq and can thus no longer use his legs. Though this instilled a sense of hatred for Arabs in his brother, Big Bro seems to have no enmity for them. His brother, however, has enmity enough for the both of them in 3.16 "Un-American Graffiti."

Desk Clerk

Works reception at the Neptune Grand. When Veronica arrives all aflutter, she won't give up Mac's room number or ignore the "Do Not Disturb" instruction. She needs to go back to hotel management school as she was unable to recognize that Beaver was clearly a psycho. The desk clerk proves to be just as fallible as most of the Season Two audience in 2.22 "Not Pictured."

Played by Rebecca Rhae Larsen.
Desk Manager

A smarmy (we think) desk manager at a sweet (or should that be "suite"?) hotel where Veronica and Logan thought Lynn might be holing up. Called Jeeves by Logan, this clerk fails spectacularly to look anything like Stephen Fry in 1.15 "Ruskie Business."

-alliterator

Played by Paul D. Roberts.
Detailer

A man who loves to clean cars. But maybe he doesn't. Maybe he goes to bed dreading having to go to work in the morning and then wakes up feeling like there'd be nothing worse than having to clean one more single solitary car. And then maybe he goes to work and hates his entire day and can't wait to leave, but then he gets home and starts dreading work again...or maybe we're projecting just a little bit. The Detailer probably has a Magic Touch for cleaning cars for really rich men in 2.15 "The Quick and the Wed."

-funky-donut

Played by Gary Weeks.
Detroit Cobras

Rock band...from Detroit! They combine garage, rock, and soul and breathe new life into standards from the '50s and '60s. Primarily a cover band, they have one original song called "Hot Dog (Watch Me Eat)." We would actually like to see a cobra eat a hot dog. Why isn't that on YouTube? All we have is a DC poster on the wall of KRFF in 3.17 "Debasement Tapes."

Diamond Smugglers Lead Singer

Lead singer of the Diamond Smugglers, a famous Neil Diamond cover band. His real name is Steve McCarthy. The Diamond Smugglers play at the Pi Sigs' frat party, covering such Diamond hits as "Sweet Caroline" and "Thank the Lord for the Night Time." He also introduces Club Flush, setting off alarm bells in Sweet Veronica's head. Steve loves him some Diamond in 3.09 "Spit & Eggs."

Played by Deanna Driscoll.
District Attorney

Neptune's prosecutor to Cliff's Perry Mason. Needless to say, things didn't go well in the career-making bikers' trial. We wondered if he still had a job as he had not been seen since 1.01 "Pilot" but he, or his successor, was around to drop the Toombs murder case against Logan in 2.01 "Normal Is the Watchword."

DJ Hellfish

Hearst College Radio host. What is it with DJs and seafood-themed names on this show? We had a pirate inspired by a cereal, a substitute crustacean and now this dude, who probably thought his "clever" pun makes him seem "cool" or something. Some news, kid, it's not the name: begging people not to change the frequency when you've just started is a rather huge clue that it won't get good. Hellfish gets turned off in 3.07 "Of Vice and Men."

Moon Calf Collective chef. His secret ingredient is love. Aww or eww, depending on your mileage. He smiles, he cooks, and he smiles some more in 1.09 "Drinking the Kool-Aid."

Doctor

We would make the obvious joke about friendly, enigmatic doctors without names here, but really, how many references to obscure cult shows can you squeeze into one Who's Who? He could be a little more sonic — or at least wear a scarf — in 1.22 "Leave It to Beaver."

-marksoflove

Doctor #2

Email buddy of Veronica. Doctor who? Does he travel through time and space in a blue police box? How's he with sonic technology? Does he favor fluffy scarves or leather jackets? And what's he so happy about that causes him to email Veronica with a happy face for a subject line? The mysteries are almost overwhelming in 2.08 "Ahoy, Mateys!"

Doms

Name on a lock on a locker in autoshop. Um. That's it, really. There's not anything more to say. Further words would be superfluous. And possibly irritating. It could highlight the fact that the writers of the Who's Who bios often just can't think of anything witty or clever or funny to write — that we are creatively bankrupt. And that would be bad. Sometimes we can use something from the picture, but look at it! It's a lock on a locker in autoshop. Sometimes it's a matter of playing with the name, but Doms is sort of...just Doms. Although, thinking about it, it could be as in "Doms and Subs." Okay, now there's an angle. For those of you who need an education in extreme sexual practices—
Editor's note - No. Just no. We don't want to hear about it. And how the hell would you know anyway?
Well, there was this time...
Editor's note - You're so fired.
The locker in question, filled with paddles and whips whatever, shows up in 2.13 "Ain't No Magic Mountain High Enough."

Doug

Weatherman at Channel 9 KTML and colleague of Martina Vasquez. According to the plug on Martina's webpage, Doug is on 24/7, which is a pretty impressive show of devotion to his craft.

-grimsqueaker

Drina

An object of affection. Who is Drina? Why is she loved? It's not Jessie, that's for sure. She is unloved and sad. It's a fair bet that Drina's dad didn't drive off a cliff. And by whom is Drina loved? Somebody who can write, sort of, in 2.02 "Driver Ed."

-Inigo

Driver

Of course, there are better ways to meet your favourite celebrities than hitting them head-on with a flower truck or obstructing their run from justice, but given what happened the last time Aaron Echolls got up close and personal with a fan, this guy isn't so much out of the ordinary. We wonder if he'll still get an autograph in 1.22 "Leave It to Beaver."

Unintentional catalyst for adultery. This distracted yet polite Neptune driver may be reckless behind the wheel, but it's the seventh commandment that gets totaled after this driver careens into Keith's car in 3.06 "Hi, Infidelity."

-bethgee

Drugstore Clerk

Disgruntled pharmacy clerk selling "Super Titan" condoms. With just the slightest hesitation and an irked glance or three, this woman accuses Logan of embellishing the size of Logan Junior and pegs Cindy "Mac" MackenzieMac[char] as a ditzy co-ed with a fuzzy moral code.

Earl #2

Leo's partner in shadowing Gia Goodman on the commission of her father. Earl, just trying to be a better shadower, probably sits in the car and sings to himself:

Emmy

Plant-loving scientist who works with (or, rather, near) Pauline and Gil Thomas. Her ears are sensitive, leading her to steal Oscar's banana; her heart is sensitive, assuring Veronica that she would never impede with scientific progress, despite her competitive nature; and most of all, her nipples are sensitive, leading her to complain about the A/C in the lab. Emmy causes frustration for the animal-lovers and provides a few clues for Veronica in 3.10 "Show Me the Monkey."

Mason urges Wallace to follow the group's advice: in other words, stop worrying so much about school.

Favorite Band Sucks T-Shirt

Neptune High Student. Voyeur-turned- psychologist, this kid gawks at the leaked crime scene video of the Lilly Kane murder, then asks, "How do you think that family feels?" We're guessing "not great." T-shirt boy acts sympathetic when Veronica is near in 1.01 "Pilot."

FeeSpirited

A poster on the Pirate's S.H.I.P. forum who asks "Your first 'special' moment." Judging from his screenname, I'm guessing it probably has something to do with money and/or taxes. Are we sure that Kelly Kuzzio doesn't have TWO screennames in 2.14 "Versatile Toppings"?

Female Officer

Female officer. Duh. That's her name! You can't expect a character who overdramatically rubs her neck and tilts her head to show that Parker doesn't remember anything about her rape to deserve a NAME, do you? Thankfully, she lets Lamb take over in 3.02 "My Big Fat Greek Rush Week."

-Polter-Cow

Played by Erin Frigo.
Female Prisoner

One of the students taking part in Dr. Kinny's Abu Ghraib-lite experiment. Dubbed fat by jailer jerk Rafe, she probably lost a few pounds during her weekend of pig's knuckles and tinned fishies in 3.02 "My Big Fat Greek Rush Week."

Ferret Boy

Fez

One of several of Desmond Fellows' nicknames for Piz. A fez is a red felt cap with a black tassel. It's been used in formal dress and military dress, and it looks smashing when paired with a velveteen smoking jacket. Piz has got enough hair that wearing a hat of any sort is not necessary, but that doesn't stop Desmond from branding him with the nickname in 3.17 "Debasement Tapes."

-starxdsparrow

fiaryTailTrail

A recipient of the "Emission to Mars" email. Since "fiary" isn't a word, we're guessing that it's either a misspelling of "fiery" or "fairy." And since "fairy" implies...well, someone who wouldn't be interested in watching a naked Veronica, we're thinking the former is a more likely scenario. Mr. TailTrail is a bad speller and capitalizer in 3.20 "The Bitch Is Back."

Fido

Fake name for Selma Rose's Pomeranians. Really, Veronica, couldn't you have been a little more creative? You could have used Shakes or Lola, for instance. Of course, you were talking to Hallie, so you needed to be pretty obvious in 3.08 "Lord of the Pi's."

Frankie

Name on Piz's bowling shirt. One wonders who this Frankie is and why he let Piz borrow his shirt. Was it Frank Sinatra? Frankie Faison? Franky, the Goon's sidekick?

Hey, all sorts of things can be unsheathed, you know. It doesn't have to be that! Now, may I continue? Ahem. "Strange rumblings sprang from beneath—" Oh. I give up.

Frat Brother

Er, frat brother. You want more? Fine, he presumably attends Hearst College, given that he lives in the Pi Sigma Sigma house. Or, you know, "attends," since most frat brothers I've ever met rarely make it to class. Frat Brother (or F.B., as his buddies like to call him) gets to utter the immortal line "Can you believe what's going on outside?" in 3.04 "Charlie Don't Surf."

-funky-donut

The Fray

Piano rock band. Yeah, apparently, that's a genre. These sensitive guys from Denver hit it big when "How to Save a Life" was used on Grey's Anatomy and Scrubs (both hospital shows: coincidence?). Puzzling, then, that such a mainstream sensation would grace the walls of KRFF in 3.18 "I Know What You'll Do Next Summer."

Freako

Pi Sigma-ite. He's a moron participating in a game where he gets points for sexual conquests (or claimed sexual conquests). He has 200 points. He's probably overcompensating for some manner of inadequacy issues. But the only really important thing here is asking the question: is he a SUPER Freako? Nobody knows in 2.16 "The Rapes of Graff."

Fred

The pretty Scooby-Doo character who isn't Daphne. Veronica thought Wallace might aspire to be like him in 1.05 "You Think You Know Somebody."

-Inigo

Fred #2

Friend of Max who helped set him up with Chelsea who was actually a hooker named Wendy who also stripped by the name Fiona. Fred seems a little clueless, so we're pretty sure he doesn't have a girlfriend named Daphne in 3.11 "Poughkeepsie, Tramps and Thieves."

He's in charge of the carnival's dunk tank and spends hours watching a bikini-clad Jackie plunge into gallons of cold, probably dirty water over and over. Is this guy a perv? In any case, he stops Wallace's chivalrous deeds in 2.13 "Ain't No Magic Mountain High Enough."

-topanga

Freshman boy

One of the victims of the Welcome Wagon gang, this kid is even worse off than Piz: while Wallace's new roomie could at least keep his car, and temporarily inherit a rich man's wardrobe, all he has left is his red orange light-red bike.

The name of a bald Hearst College student and Pi Sigma Sigma fraternity brother. How do we know he is bald when all we see is his name on the PiSSheads "I scored" scoreboard? It's the score that tells the tale. Poor boy has nil points. And the cost of failing to nail a girl gets one a free haircut, as explained in 2.16 "The Rapes of Graff."

Mysterious being. Are we stuck in House of the Dead 2? Is G. leaving his bloodstains all over the place? Is G. even a guy? Is G. even HUMAN? DOES G. STAND FOR GIRAFFE?!?!?!

Cartoon cat. A cheesy grin, large eyes, and enormous back paws are coupled with a lazy wit and a lazier lifestyle in newspapers around the world, including those delivered to the 09er estates of Neptune. Spawning demons such as Garfield: The Movie, the comic strip led to an explosion of merchandise, none more ubiquitous than the stuffed version. In Neptune, it clings to the plastic windows of a high school student's jeep in 1.20 "M.A.D.," and the strip engages Duncan almost as much as the news that he killed his sister in 1.22 "Leave It to Beaver."

Besides, if Wallace were really a Gilmore girl, he would have found Logan's "half brother" a little more familiar. One thing we do know, however: Wallace would totally clean up at Al's Pancake World.

Gollum

An ex-hobbit in J.R.R. Tolkein's Lord of the Rings quadrilogy (Gollum was in the prequel, The Hobbit). Sauron's ring transformed Gollum from a nice hobbit into a twisted creature consumed with greed, willing to bite off anybody's fingers to get his hands on the ring. His mantra? "My preeeccccioooousss." For some reason Gorya "Gory" Sorokin feels like Gollum when holding the new Castle confessions. That's a bad metaphor, since we don't think it's the confessions that transformed them into greedy people. We're thinking that perhaps Logan should have bitten off Gory's finger to teach him a lesson: leave the geek culture references to the professionals.

Logan and Weevil let the lesson wash over them in 1.07 "The Girl Next Door", but there may be hope for them. They start to use their brains just as the play is revived at Neptune High. A coincidence?

Head Jerk

For being the head of jerks, he sure doesn't seem to say much besides, we think, "Who is this girl?" If we're not mistaken, he bears a striking resemblance to Lenny Sofer in 2.05 "Blast from the Past."

Heat Miser

Character from The Year Without Santa Claus. It performs a song which is one of Keith's favorite Christmas moments. Duncan is a fan too which is sweet. Until he starts to sing. Then Logan thinks about throwing up and our ears bleed in 1.10 "An Echolls Family Christmas."

Hillside Strangler

Serial killing double act. The yen of the press to create nicknames failed them in this case (there were two perps) and fails them in the case of Neptune's E-String Strangler (victims were not strangled). Accuracy not being Lamb's forte, the sheriff makes similar mistakes in 1.11 "Silence of the Lamb."

Homeless Vet

No, not a homeless veterinarian, but a veteran (of what war is never stated, but we're thinking it either begins with a V or K or possibly G) formerly of the Marines. He may be homeless, but he has his pride. He doesn't have a lot of his pride, but he has enough to reject Logan's offer of a hundred bucks to participate in one of his bum fights in 1.06 "Return of the Kane."

-alliterator

Played by Reginald Ballard.
Hometown Honeys

Stick figures in lingerie. The magazine FHM (For Him Magazine, if you can believe it; a more misogynistic name has never been used except for perhaps Barefoot and Pregnant magazine) shows weekly "Hometown Honeys," fashion models from different towns across the good ol' US of A. Apollo Bukenya has a poster of one of them on his wall. So besides playing Grand Theft Auto, he likes looking at the ladies. Well, we can't blame him in 3.18 "I Know What You'll Do Next Summer."

Horatio sticks around to the bitter end in 2.09 "My Mother, the Fiend."

Horny

A Veronica alias nickname. In her persona of sports-crazy Betty, Veronica announces to the students at Pan High that she was Horny for the Rhinos at Riverdale. Does Veronica really chose Riverdale because of the Archie comics or because their team would be the Rhinos and she is feeling randy in 1.16 "Betty and Veronica"?

Hot MySpace Girl #2

A hot girl that Dick meets over the interweb. Her father does taxes for half of some sports team, and she claims she wants to bring Dick to one of said team's games, where she could show him the "tour" of her private "box." Of course, this is all a ruse for her to trap him and reveal her master plan: she was friends with Lisa and they were going to give some dissatisfaction to Dick in 3.16 "Un-American Graffiti."

-alliterator

Played by Christina Ulloa.
Hotel Clerk

In her function as an informative bit character, she helpfully quenches Veronica's thirst for knowledge by telling her that there is neither a Mars nor a Fennel staying at her hotel. She even looks somewhat hot while doing it, proving that a lot of hard work, and careful posturing, can enhance even the smallest role. Watch out for this one in 1.20 "M.A.D.."

-grimsqueaker

Played by Anne Tran.
Hotel Manager

The man at the Neptune Grand. He is the man with the plan to extricate the hotel's rolling tables from where they stand immobile, burdened with congealed food in Logan's suite. This is a man of gravitas. This is a man of fine breeding. This is a man who should have a better reason to insist on entry to one of his guest rooms. It is downright undignified to have to say that the hotel is running out of salt and pepper shakers. The hotel manager is forced to eschew his disdain in 3.13 "Postgame Mortem."

Howard

Prison guards go where they're sent, so pity poor Howard. He could have been posted to Cell Block H or watched over bad girls or been a witness to a redemption in Shawshank. He might have learned to appreciate birds in Alcatraz or that prison's geological nature or intricate tattoos. He might have enjoyed porridge with Paul Edgecomb or Father Ray. Best posting would have been to become #3, ditch the gun, and have a huge great bubble at his beck and call. Poor Howard. All he gets is a ten-second slot to escort Cormac Fitzpatrick out of jail in 3.01 "Welcome Wagon."

An imaginary PCH bike gang member invented by Veronica. Have Veronica's dealings with Weevil's gang resulted in her becoming acquainted with an especially protein-rich biker? One with an aversion to walls, perhaps? Or does one of Weevil's boys have a particular fondness for men on horses? Whatever the reason for this choice of epithet, Thumper seems quite displeased to be called such in 2.10 "One Angry Veronica."

Huron

Graffiti star of one of the Balboa County Sheriff's Department interrogation rooms. At least, it seems more likely that the block caps on the wall refer to a person than to a Great Lake or an Indian tribe, whose name is derived from the French word for rough. The big question is this: why did Lamb allow someone in interrogation to write their name on the wall? Could it have anything to do with Lamb batting his eyelashes at Logan on the mention of a conjugal visit? Is Huron Lamb's bit of rough, snatching moments under cover of just a few more questions? Who knows? All is not revealed in 2.06 "Rat Saw God."

Timothy Hutton

Iago

Character from Shakespeare's Othello. A miscellany of posters decorate the walls and the fronts and sides of the lockers at Neptune High. Prominent amongst them is one celebrating the sly, manipulative, amoral villain of the Bard's tragedy:
I do hate him as I hate hell-pains.
And did you see the handkerchief.
Go out and cry a mutiny.
O, beware, my lord of jealously.

Pirate Pride gives way to English literature in 1.01 "Pilot."

Ice Man

A character in the popular comic book Uncanny X-Me— oh, wait, wrong one. Actually, this Ice Man is a nickname for Chip Diller and probably an in-joke for Aaron Ashmore, whose twin brother played Iceman in the X-Men movies. There was also a play (and later movie) called The Iceman Cometh, though it's more likely Chip's referencing Val Kilmer's nickname in Top Gun than a Eugene O'Neill play in 2.16 "The Rapes of Graff."

Imitation Crab

Radio alias of Vincent "Butters" Clemmons. You'd think, wouldn't you, that given the opportunity to name yourself, you'd at least choose a title that doesn't imply you can't live up to crustacean standards. And yet, Butters is just the kind of self-deprecating out-of-the-box thinker AM 540 needs. Tri-corner hats off, o humble seafood! Vince is the Diet Coke, the margarine, the Splenda, the imitation crab of cool in 2.08 "Ahoy, Mateys!"

-marksoflove

Imposing Guy

Very imposing man who works for the Madame. He's simply gigantic. When Madame needs to intimidate junior PIs and their clients, he's the go-to guy. Dude is about 8 feet tall, no exaggerating, so no wonder 5'1" Veronica might be a little intimidated by him in 3.11 "Poughkeepsie, Tramps and Thieves."

-funky-donut, dutchmoxie

Played by Robert "Bonecrusher" Mokes.
Indigo Girl

One of two in a popular folk duo. And, did you hear? They're TOTALLY GAY. Which means that any sort of lesbian poetry demands a reference. Having been outed as a kindred spirit, Marlena Nichols is a little closer to fine in 2.14 "Versatile Toppings."

-Polter-Cow

INS Agent

An agent for the Immigration and Naturalization Services, he
handcuffs and removes for being here with an expired visa. Unlike Veronica, this guy isn't charmed with Nasir's Omar Sharif-like charm, or perhaps he just never saw Doctor Zhivago in 3.16 "Un-American Graffiti."

Jack

Student at Neptune High. He is not as good a basketball player as Wallace, he's not as rich as the 09ers and he is not allergic to parrots or goats. This adds up to Jack being a dirty, low-down, game-fixing mascot-napper in 1.16 "Betty and Veronica."

-Inigo

Jamie #2

Gambling gopher of college casino king Mercer Hayes. This kid doesn't look old enough to play Old Maid, never mind poker. As for buying booze, even in liberal, corrupt Neptune, it's laughable. Yet Mercer sends him out for the vodka in 3.03 "Wichita Linebacker."

-Inigo

Jania

Girl whose friend is passed out on the dance floor. She's the kind of girl you want on your side: empathetic, caring, and kind, she wouldn't leave you stranded if you were drunk and would carry you to safety herself and make sure you're okay. Well, either that, or she'd call some rather shady characters to do the fireman's carry for her and try not to step on you while she's dancing. Her drunk friend gets Fern's royal treatment in 3.09 "Spit & Eggs."

Janitor

Janitor at Hearst College. All he did was get paid to clean the floor outside Tim Foyle's office, but he finds himself drawn into a life of illicit breaking and entering when Veronica gets her claws into him. Okay, so mostly he just lets her into Foyle's office when Veronica tearfully explains that she's Tim's adopted sister in 3.12 "There's Got To Be A Morning After Pill."

Taut blonde in Taut Blonde. "Taut" is a synonym for "tight," which is the opposite of "loose." Wouldn't a loose blonde be more appropriate for this sort of publication? Why would a purveyor of pornography be interested in a woman who is ti...oh. Eww. How did the UPN censors miss this in 1.18 "Weapons of Class Destruction"?

Jason

Hearst College student and friend of Bronson. Logan took his place as Parker's partner in a Valentine's Day Scavenger Hunt when Jason was conveniently unavailable. Hmm. A little too convenient, if you ask me. Jason is obviously an agent planted by the anti-Logan/Veronica 'shippers as part of an elaborate plot to set up Logan and Parker in 3.14 "Mars, Bars."

Jay

Basketball player at Hearst College. Playing as #23 in practice sessions at least, he is called upon by one of his teammates to get underneath the ball. Why?

Jeeves

Logan's name for the desk manager at the Sunset Regent hotel in Los Angeles. We could tell you about the fictional character — the stupid Bertie Wooster's very smart butler in Wodehouse's wonderful series on the idiocy and pomposity of the British upper classes — but why would we when we have our very own idiotic and pompous pretend Brit to celebrate? The desk manager goes from prickly prat to unctuous underling at the sparkle of a diamond ring. He is responsible for affiancing sugar puss Veronica and Logan, albeit briefly. He delights and appalls in 1.15 "Ruskie Business."

At least Jen's got more messages than that bitch Kim in 3.04 "Charlie Don't Surf."

Jennifer

Hearst student and devout Christian. You've got a deserted frat house that has been witness to underage drinking, casual drug use, and lots and lots of monkey sex. What would Jesus do?

Played by Andre Boyer.
Jerry

Boss of Carly Hearn and Marvin Chase. He is occupied with trying to get his "side project" Joe to "turn around" based on some "projections" he made at "bingo," at least according to Marvin. Right, whatever. Either he was really busy hitting on Joe, or all this dialogue was just filler so Keith could get an alleged money-shot that later turns out to be...not so much. So, Jerry and Joe and their tedious love story are really just background noise in 3.04 "Charlie Don't Surf."

jesse441

Email correspondent of Dick Casablancas who was sent the video of Veronica and Piz doing a reenactment of The Full Monty. If Jesse has a girl, we hope she doesn't know what kind of emails he gets forwarded by his buddies in 3.20 "The Bitch Is Back."

-misskiwi

Jessica

Name of a college girl who advertises as one of a threesome in the X-rated classifieds. If Jessica's made it to college, does this mean that she can now tell the difference between chicken and tuna? Since she and June sell themselves as "three" college girls, the answer is probably not in the affirmative. Jessica continues to display her educational standards in 1.17 "Kanes and Abel's."

Jet

Rock band from Australia whose poster hangs in both Mac's and Piz's rooms. Mac shares her room with Parker, and Parker is certainly no cold hard bitch, but, oh, Hearst rapist, look what you've done! Did she really answer yes to "Are you gonna be my girl?"

-Inigo

Jim

A fake name for someone who already has a fake name. See, Norman Phipps is pretending to be Logan's half-brother, Charlie Stone. Then, for some unknown reason, Logan calls him Jim and implies they were with hookers when he sees Veronica. Really, I'm just as clueless about why Logan called Charlie Norman "Jim" as Logan was about Norman's real identity in 3.04 "Charlie Don't Surf."

-funky-donut

Jimmy

Victim or mourner? At the site of the makeshift memorials to the victims of the Neptune High School bus crash, one victim's shrine is marked with a heart and a name. Did Jimmy plunge to his death, or was Jimmy a friend, a relation, or a lover of someone who did? Knowing how people can be, he was probably just a phantom graffiti artist in 2.02 "Driver Ed."

-Inigo

Jo Jo

A name on a whiteboard in the office of Hearst Free Press and probably not a pop singer. Given how fast and loose that paper's agenda-fueled editor is with responsible journalism, Jo Jo is no doubt out there somewhere on campus looking for dirt on the Greeks. Here's some for you, Jo Jo. Retsina is made of turpentine, Feta cheese smells, and Hercules was a wuss. Surprisingly, these headlines did not appear in 3.02 "My Big Fat Greek Rush Week."

-Inigo

Joan

A student at Handley High with the real, though deceased, Kendall Shiflett. Sadly, her surname begins with an S, so Joan Crawford, Joan of Arc and Joan Collins jokes have no place here. Hey, I wonder if Handley High was in Arcadia? Will wonders ever cease in 2.19 "Nevermind the Buttocks"?

-Inigo

Joan of Arc

Saint. Aaron gives Veronica a little history lesson before trying to burn her to death, you know, to make her feel in good company. But being the twisted S.O.B. he is, he tells her Joan had a brain tumor and didn't talk to God at all; that her death by fire was for nothing. He is seeking to make a point in 1.22 "Leave It to Beaver."

-Inigo

Joanna

Nude model for Andre. Of all the hot cast members to do a nude scene, the writers choose this two-scene guest star?! What an incredible waste of gratuitous nudity! She shows Veronica her ass-ets in 1.07 "The Girl Next Door."

Joc

Purveyor of a beer that comes in a wide-mouthed bottle. The advertisement at Corey's Market shows a buxom buckaroo advertising the beverage, and it begs the question as to whether she's the big mouth Joc in question, or if she just favors the brew. Joc of course could be related to Joe, of Joe's Big Mouth fame. Joe's Big Mouth is the drink of choice of crafty little buggers everywhere, but there's no telling who's drinking Joc's in 3.15 "Papa's Cabin."

-starxdsparrow

Joe

A name that decorates the wall of the unused dorm wing used by Dr. Kinny for his little experiments. Joe dealt with his prisoner/guard issues by writing "Joe was here" on the wall. Rhyme-mate Moe dealt with it by becoming a gourmand, as proved by his love for Oolong tea in the past and his offer of biscotti in 3.02 "My Big Fat Greek Rush Week."

-Inigo

Joe #2

A side project of Jerry, according to Carly Hearn. Who? Exactly. See, Carly is about to try to seduce Marvin Chase, who is Keith's client Harmony's husband. Whew. All those words for stuff with so little import in 3.04 "Charlie Don't Surf."

-funky-donut

Joe #3

One of Desmond's babysitters before Piz took over. We wonder if "Joe" might have been an easier name for Desmond to remember than "Pus" "Plax" "Pez" "Fez" "Buzz" "La Paz" "Piz" in 3.17 "Debasement Tapes."

-misskiwi

Joey

Presumed friend of Jenny Budosh. Perhaps another spoiled rich kid who still gets a kick out of petty theft, Joey leaves a message for his or her pal while Jenny is off skiing or fraternizing with other white-collar criminals. The name automatically prompts suspicion. Buttafuoco, Potter, the titular Concrete Blonde subject? Anyone past the age of twelve, man or woman, shouldn't be using this nickname. Joey — honey — Jenny's got — the money in 3.19 "Weevils Wobble But They Don't Go Down."

Anchor on the Navigator, Neptune High School's very own TV news station. Does he sing karaoke and have a hard time keeping a girlfriend too?

Get a feel of something, often applied to a grope of a sexual nature.

Judas

Biblical betrayer. He's basically the worst guy of all time since he sold out Jesus for a measly thirty pieces of silver. Dante thinks he deserves to be eaten by Satan for all eternity! Piz seems to think Wallace deserves the same fate just for considering macking on the same hot chick that he wants to mack on in 3.16 "Un-American Graffiti."

Judge

Presiding over the biker case. This lady must have limited experience of the world. She has to ask what was going on in the sheriff's department vehicle outside the Seventh Veil. Anyone with eyes and a rudimentary knowledge of men's parts would know. The only virgin to appear in 1.01 "Pilot"?

Julio

Pomeranian belonging to Selma Hearst Rose. Along with his brother Ernest, Selma has named them after famous winemakers Ernest and Julio Gallo. One could make fun of Selma for being a snob, but another one would have to point out that, after some research, it appears that E&J were a great American success story, pulling themselves up by their bootstraps after the Depression and forging a huge California industry almost single-handedly. Another one wonders why all the ones and such. ANYwho, this Pomeranian is saddled with a silly name in 3.08 "Lord of the Pi's."

Jumbo

A name on the Pi Sigma scoreboard. Either this nickname means he's fat or someone can't spell "Dumbo." We're think it might be a combination of the two in 2.16 "The Rapes of Graff."

Jumbo #2

A big, two-dimensional clown hanging high above the Neptune streets, keeping watch over Jumbo's Clown Wash. Hey, if this is a clown wash, why is Weevil washing cars? Shouldn't he be hosing down some scary dudes in oversized shoes, red noses, and creepy face-paint? Instead, Jumbo's pink-and-green hair and four oversized teeth presumably attract customers to Weevil's place of employment in 3.03 "Wichita Linebacker."

June

Together with Jessica and A.N. Other, unless counting is not in the curriculum, one of the "Three College Girls" who offer...services. Exactly what those services are is not spelled out. The classified ad says, "We've got the only [something] Massage team specializing in the [something] [something] [something] [something] stimulate all the [something] glands and '[something] [something]' hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.... Do you get the point of what we're trying to get across to you? If so, give us a ring and we'll get [something] [something]!" Cow! Get away from that phone! For the curious, their number can be found in 1.17 "Kanes and Abel's."

June of 44

Indie band on a poster in Max's room. If you think that the band's name comes from D-Day, June 6, 1944, like I did, well...you'd be wrong. It actually refers to Henry Miller's wife, June, and the year that Anaïs Nin began writing about June in her diaries, which is much more artistic and esoteric. No word on whether Max likes the band because they have a cool name, because of their math-rock style, or for some other reason, but he maintains his loyalty to this band, which broke up in 2000, in 3.06 "Hi, Infidelity."

Juror (Foreman)

Speaker of dimwits. Look, we know that Aaron Echolls is a charming man, and his acting in the courtroom is ample proof that he deserves those two Oscars, but seriously, he killed Lilly Kane. With an ashtray. On purpose. All the acting in the world won't change that. Get with the program, guys! Alas, Aaron's performance trumps reason, as this woman's words attest in 2.21 "Happy Go Lucky."

JW

Balboa Animal Control worker and bad guy. Together with Hans, he kidnaps the dogs of the rich and returns only those whose owners offer large rewards. As for the rest, we don't want to think about it. We wish he'd resisted arrest because Leo was so up for giving him a smackdown in 1.19 "Hot Dogs."

Karamazov Brothers

Literary creations of Dostoevsky. The Brothers Karamazov is on one level the mystery of which of three sons murdered their father and on another, something else. We never really get to know as Mrs. Murphy tries in vain to get Ben to critique it. He wants to wait for the mini-series in 1.18 "Weapons of Class Destruction."

Karen

Den mother for the Zeta Theta Betas. Loves her girls to death (although she's paid to say they're wonderful), throws a kickass tea party, and grows pot in the back room. Veronica uncovers her sorority secret — much to everyone's dismay. Fortunately, despite losing her painkillers and her job in a campus-wide scandal, her girls are able to raise enough money for another round of chemo. The highs and lows of Karen's life are chronicled in 3.02 "My Big Fat Greek Rush Week" and 3.08 "Lord of the Pi's."

You of course recall Uma Thurman's joke for Fox Force Five about the family of tomatoes and the baby tomato being told to "Katchup"? Or maybe you don't. Lucky ended up with a red liquid on him that wasn't ketchup, however, in 2.21 "Happy Go Lucky."

Kate

Neptune High student. She tells her friend Jane about Wallace's kissing indiscretions. If she's one of those jealous friends who revels in others' pain, she might have said something like, "Girl, I told you he was no good. Kissing all over Jackie in the parking lot. Don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure I saw tongue. Hand to God, they were about to strip right there! Are you gonna be a fool and put up with that?" Of course, she could be the completely supportive friend Jane needs. We never see Kate or learn about their actual conversation, just its repercussions, in 2.17 "Plan B."

Kevin

He'll help your mired fields of debt disappear! He'll get you out of Depressionville and into Debtfreeland! With his trusty partner Patricia #2, he'll take away all your problems and fears! Okay, we're probably exaggerating, but his ad (below the rapist's taunting one) is a little over the top as well. I mean, maybe I like it in Depressionville. I have all my stuff the way I like it in Depressionville! Wait, this isn't about me. Kevin advertises his debt-disappearing act in 3.09 "Spit & Eggs."

Kevin #2

Together with Franz, he comes up on Planet Zowie when Keith searches for Papa's Cabin. He stars in the online tome Paradise Called Oklahoma which is sufficiently popular to have at least thirteen chapters. It's a tale of some derring-do: "Following him to the cabin, Franz unsheathed his...Strange rumblings sprang from beneath the foundation as Kevin and Franz attempted to phone papa to come rescue them...." Good to see that Planet Zowie throws up diverse entries in 3.15 "Papa's Cabin."

Kid Rock

Metal-rap artist or something. Does Veronica really dream about meeting him every weekend for sensual massage and smoothies? Nah. She's just yanking Keith's chain. At least we hope she's kidding. She does mention the fact that she did want to marry Vanilla Ice in her youth. Veronica, stay away from these white, would-be rappers, especially at the Hedonism Lodge.

Kim #3

Jackie's mom. Oh, the web of lies that surround her! First she's a rich model living the high life in the Upper West Side, then she's a slightly transvestite-y looking waitress, literally left holding the baby. Bet she's regretting that one night stand with Terrence Cook, or perhaps letting her daughter run wild. At least her daughter returns to the flock for some hard labour in 2.22 "Not Pictured."

Kim #5

Roommate opposite Parker's room. Why are there so many Kims in the VM universe? There was Kim, one of Heidi Kuhne's friends; Kim #2, one of Priscilla Banks's classmates; Kim #3, Jackie's mom; and then there are Kim Jong-Il and Kimmy. What's next? L'il Kim? Kim Possible?

Kim's Friend

Friend of Kim Kaiser. She lets Veronica know that the role of Kim will be played by younger sister Carrie this evening.

King Lear

Tragic Shakespearean figure from the eponymous play. Veronica's choice for the results of the efforts of a million monkeys is no doubt influenced by her situation and her failure to read the product. Out vile Jell-O? Keith Mars learned long ago how sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless protégé.

And really, can Veronica London be surprised that Wallace isn't responding when all she ever talks about is "me, me, ME"? No response is forthcoming, even to this staggering news, in 2.07 "Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner."

Lonely Telescope Guy

Completely average Logan fangirl Pervert. Logan thinks his Peeping Tom neighbor is just yearning for him to take his shirt off, but we assume he is simply bed-ridden, bored, and hoping that if he only waits long enough, yet another Echolls will slay his lover, but this time right before his watchful lens in 3.04 "Charlie Don't Surf."

We'll never find out, but we do know a weeks-long trip to wherever she lives isn't high on Parker's summertime priority list in 3.18 "I Know What You'll Do Next Summer."

Lout 1

Lout (obviously) who makes lewd comments in Veronica and Piz's direction after their Internet porn debut. In place of "Lout 1," we would also have accepted "Loudmouth Jerkwad 3," "Gross Fratboy 74," "Pervert 19," and "Guy Veronica Wants to Taser 739" in 3.20 "The Bitch Is Back."

Lovebone

Left a message on Louis's board. His name means he's either:

a) an archaeology major,

b) a dog like Wishbone (although he would have to have opposable thumbs to use a pen), or

c) someone with a very dirty mind.

Considering "Lovebone" is friends with the roommate of Gorya "Gory" Sorokin, wants to "ride the creep train," and uses atrocious grammar, we have to guess c) in 3.20 "The Bitch Is Back."

Coerced into her limo, the kids are shocked to discover that Wendy's boss is a woman, baby! Guess they missed that story arc on Melrose Place.

-grimsqueaker

Mama Leone

Presumed matriarch of a Mars favorite take-away...take-out...God! I wish the language really was common. That Keith is talking about food when he tells Veronica that he called out to Mama Leone's is an assumption, of course. There are other services that might be considered constituents of a family fun night and The South Park Movie DVD. The Mars family looks forward to a night of pizza, or is it massages in 1.01 "Pilot"?

-Inigo

Mama Mia

Owner of a pizzeria (and catchy ABBA ditty, with the addition of a single "m"). Mama Mia peddles her cheese-drenched wares up and down the streets of Neptune. She employs one of Veronica's biggest fans and provides a dead-end clue to the casino robbery in 3.05 "President Evil."

Manager

The manager at the motel that Amelia DeLongpre stayed in and Veronica investigated. He charges thirty dollars a night, likes "knotty schoolgirls," and suggests that if you want to find a good time, you might try the Gas 'n' Sip down the street. He probably also believes that there's a lattice of coincidence that ties everything together, a collection unconscious in 2.06 "Rat Saw God." Plate o' shrimp!

-Inigo

Mario #3

Most famous plumber of all time. And here's a bit of trivia: his last name is Mario too! So his name is Mario Mario! Did his parents hate him? Is that why he spent his days in a crazy land with giant mushrooms and fire flowers and bullets with faces and one very angry...whatever Bowser is? In any case, I'm glad the denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom put aside their differences to engage in a friendly racing game with speedy mushrooms and exploding bombs and projectile turtle shells and...okay, maybe not so much with the friendly. Logan and Heather bond over high-speed mayhem while their princess is in another castle in 3.13 "Postgame Mortem."

-Polter-Cow

Marjorie

A lady, perhaps, of the street, who describes herself as "Petite and Sweet." She might, it seems, indulge in rhyme, about her body, soft and sublime, but clients may want something less witty, though assured that she is still pretty, when they read the classified ad and decide whether or not to be bad. All the men will read the labels, set out in bold type in 1.17 "Kanes and Abel's."

Marjorie #2

Cool sorority sister in Zeta Theta Beta. She rescues Veronica from the evil airheaded clutches of Hallie Piatt and Shania, makes fun of her sisters for singing goofy sorority songs, sends Veronica on a safe ride home when she is making a fool of herself while pretending to be drunk, and is very fond of her ill den mother.

Martins

An 09er family in Neptune, the twin daughters of which Meg Manning babysits (when she is not in a coma). Veronica never gets to meet them when she temporarily substitutes for Meg, but based on the 09er children she does meet, think more Joan of Arcadia first season finale than Bobbsey. In fact, one is probably safer thinking more along the lines of the twins in The Shining. Their lack of penises (peni?) makes them unseen in 2.07 "Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner."

Aaron's something. Dogsbody, perhaps? (Dogsbody. Noun. A person who does the menial and boring tasks.) He gets an earful from Aaron for there being no homeless shelters closer to home in 1.06 Return of the Kane.

Marty #3

Student of Chinese. Along with pal Vincent, he is Veronica's saving grace when he deciphers a Chinese character.

Mary

The "Sexy Babe" of the classifieds. "Some ladies don't know the importance of a full body, relaxing massage to give a client what he needs. Let me show you how." Huh. The headline and the message seem strangely disconnected. Mary, Mary, so contrary, how does your business grow? With oily gels and musky smells and naked butts all in a row. Mary's ad for lessons on kneading the needy is given space in 1.17 "Kanes and Abel's."

Saint Mary

Mother of Jesus Christ, or The Big J, as he's not known in any circles that we're aware of. She's the only woman who can bring the PCHers and the Fitzpatricks together (well, almost). What would she say, however, if she knew that bringing them together only facilitated the trading of illegal drugs? She would probably take her son's name in vain, and that's not being down with G-O-D. Veronica apologizes to the most famous virgin in all of history in 2.12 "Rashard & Wallace Go To White Castle."

Breaking onto the scene in 1997, Rob Thomas and some random other musicians released a few great pop songs, decided to start spelling out "twenty," released several more tolerable pop songs, and watched their familiarly named frontman hit the road to make a solo album full of music that sounded exactly the same as his band's. All you fans out there, don't get terribly bent out of shape; Mac says a reunion may be in the works in 3.19 "Weevils Wobble But They Don't Go Down."

Maureen

Neptune High student. "Sadness peppered with much attitude" is a good way to describe this grieving friend of Betina, one of the bus crash victims.

Michelle

Someone who left her name for Piz on his whiteboard. Go Piznarski! Don't let that torch you bear hold you back! I mean, you like The Beatles, so you have to go out with someone named Michelle. Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble en 3.09 "Broche et Oeufs."

Mickey #2

Name on a bowling shirt rejected by Veronica. Unlike Piz, Veronica elected not to go with the "ironic" enthusiastic bowling shirt...or is that post-ironic? Is the rejection of the ironic shirt in itself ironic? Trying to sort out the irony makes our heads hurt in 3.06 "Hi, Infidelity."

Mike #2

A name on the wall of the boys' bathroom, as in "I love Mike." There are two schools of thought.

A 6 feet high dwarf by adoption, Mopey lives in his cozy hut hotel suite, together with his friends Sleazy, Dog, Scrappy, Needy, Jumpy and Bashful. Given his soft spot for fair princesses, we wonder if cartoon birds braid his hair, too, in 2.11 "Donut Run."

Morty

A homeless guy that helps Veronica find the Easter egg that was up Chip's...chimney. He is also able to help her out by posing as a witness for Selma Rose's "kidnapping." Are we sure his name isn't "Moriarty"? Morty is a (homeless) mastermind in 3.08 "Lord of the Pi's."

Played by Kristopher Logan.
Moses

Biblical personage. When Sheriff Lamb likens Veronica Mars to the man who talked to burning bushes, he is hopefully referring to her sea-dividing, awe-inspiring charisma and not her physical resemblance to Charlton Heston. The prophet is invoked in 2.15 "The Quick and the Wed."

Motel Clerk

This Mexican motel clerk tells Sheriff Lamb that white guys "all look alike." But he points him in the right direction of the fugitive Duncan in 2.11 "Donut Run."

-topanga

Played by Pedro Rodman Rodriguez.
Mother Nature

The personification of nature as a powerful and nurturing woman. In Neptune, the number of powerful and nurturing women is a little on the light side, what with the alcoholics, the suicides, the harlots, and the cold fish, so Neptune High offers fruit instead in 2.03 "Cheatty Cheatty Bang Bang."

-Inigo

Mountain Man

Bodyguard hired by Logan to protect Veronica. With such an apt name, Logan must have recruited him from the WWE. Certainly, the addition of Hunter Hearst Helmsley would have added an extra meta layer to 3.08 "Lord of the Pi's."

Played by Tim Sitarz.
Mouth

Careless biker. He first opens his own a little too much and then gets too close to Backup's, which leads to pain, humiliation, and possibly the need for new footwear in 1.01 "Pilot."

Played by Zac Henry.
Mr. T

Bodyguard-turned-actor. Mr. T has had an interesting life. He's most famous for his acting roles as a boxer in Rocky III and an ex-military officer on the ABC series The A-Team, but he's just as well-known for his Mohawk hairdo, multiple gold necklaces, and his menacing catchphrases. Mr. T is also a cancer survivor who's playing a big role in the Hurricaine Katrina rebuilding efforts. Veronica uses him to motivate Wallace's studying efforts. I pity the fool who doesn't cheer for Mr. T in 3.06 "Hi, Infidelity.".

Musician

Member, Mooncalf Collective. He strums on his guitar and sings "You Ain't Got Nothing At All," the theme song for cult members. A cult classic, so to speak. Mr. Guitar Man keeps things mellow around the campfire in 1.09 "Drinking the Kool-Aid."

-topanga

Played by Max Bernstein.
Musicman

Number twenty-five. This melodic gentleman is a complete cipher, revealing unto us naught but that he likes wearing short sleeves in December, eating lunch with the little people at Neptune High, and...uh...Barry Bonds? Maybe he's a friend of Luke's. Seventy-six trombones fail to show in 2.10 "One Angry Veronica."

The Mustangs

Band. The UK's premiere rhythm and blues band, to be exact. But they're not R&B or anything: more emphasis on the blues than the rhythm. What does the UK know about the blues, anyway? I thought America invented the blues! Just because we stole rock and roll from the Beatles doesn't mean they can steal the blues from W.C. Handy. KRFF supports transatlantic music genre theft in 3.19 "Weevils Wobble But They Don't Go Down."

Col. Mustard
See Mustard, Col.
Mustard Man

One of the names on the Pi Sigma Sigma basement board, used to display the claimed romantic exploits of the fraternity house residents. Okay, so we're guessing, seeing as the name is slightly obscured by the UPN logo. But let's say it is so and wonder at the choice of this name. Is he bright yellow? Is he runny? Is he a little bitter on the tongue? Is he inseparable from a hot dog? One thing we do know, he's shown to be a jerk in 2.16 "The Rapes of Graff."

-Inigo

My Pretty Pony

Power pop duo with a cult following in the 1990s. Named in homage to a 1980s toy, My Pretty Pony was comprised of guitarist/songwriter Desmond Fellows and front man Johnny Scopes, may the latter rest in peace. Part Rembrandts, part Proclaimers, and all washed up, the band still has some college-aged fans willing to pay a few bucks to hear Desmond plink along to a backing track of Johnny from beyond the grave. It's all so totally emo. Piz and Veronica were former Pony fans themselves, but Desmond's legend loses a little luster when they serve as his guides to Neptune in 3.17 "Debasement Tapes."
