Kimi, we collect choice quotes and exchanges in the thread Coffee On My Monitor.
There are some choice ones with Gus starting over here.

Dawn: Is that supposed to scare me? Spike: Little tremble wouldn't hurt.
'The Killer In Me'
Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, no. Gus! Oh, no.
I'm in tears. He was such a warm, smart, funny man. Kimi, thank you for telling us. I'm so sorry.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Kimi, I am so sorry for your loss.
And ours.
Gus was a magnificent man, on the internets as he surely was off them.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Oh, you people. You loved him, didn't you, in an internet sort of way?
Yeah, we did.
May there be a next life, overflowing with single malt and trivia screens, and without pain.

If I only had a brain...
Did we ever find out the title of his forthcoming novel? And which author's name it's being published under?

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty
Fuck. One last little kick in the teeth from 2006.
Gus, I never met you, but I always wanted to. You were supposed to show up at a F2F dressed as Baron Samedi, and fly kites with us, but circumstances never came about to allow that. Instead you went on safari and got bit by a monkey, and despite the obvious pain and suffering that caused you, you never let that get in the way of our weremonkey jokes, or of you joining in on same.
I love you, and miss you. People who aren't Buffistas might have a hard time understanding how it's possible for those two thoughts to apply to a person you've never met in real life, but they do.
I'm crying for a friend who was never anything more than electrons to me, but he was no less a friend for that. I wish it could have been otherwise.
I don't believe in an afterlife, but sometimes I hope. If there is, I hope I meet you there.
I thought I would have no words when I read the news, yet here they are.

I'm getting the pig!
Yes. Every single word Sean just typed.

Always Anti-fascist!
If you would like, you can go to Premium Cable and read my cornerboy fruit punch speech. Except it would probably be an orange soda speech for the cornerboys.
