This thread is for Buffista quotage. Posts that are profound, witty, or otherwise deserving of immortality go here. This is also Shrift's source for the BRQG, so be aware that if your words end up here, they'll also end up there. Finally, please note which thread spawned the quotage and please white-out anything that might be spoilery to Un-Americans.
In Firefly:
Askye: I think Book has some checkered past that includes wetwork and that he went to the abbey looking for redemption/peace.
Billytea: Ok. I can see how synchronised swimming could drive a man into a monastery.
[sorry] [from now on, I am attributing all postings to bob.]
Hee. First poster was Allison, Betsy.
Edit: ruh roh. I meant askye, not Allyson. (Starting to think Allison/Allyson/Alyson is the new William.)
DX, you (and that post) are so cool.
Rebecca Lizard (who needs context?):
Me: See, you are user number 568. And I am user number 61. That means I am taller than you.
Her: You are already taller than me.
Me: But now it's official.
I'm the one checking my puter for porn t for the accuracy mavins out there Fortunately it's all still here.
LotR discussion in Bitches:
Teppy:
In other news, TTT ruled. But you all knew that. Gollum/Smeagol made me sad. Ents fucking ROCK.
billytea:
Ents fucking ROCK.
...Ok, I never thought I'd say this, but apparently there are slash possibilities in Tolkien that had simply passed me by.

Isengard was giving me a definite masculine vibe.

It's that whole strong, solid tower, thrusting proudly into the air, rising from the plain in all its rampant glory thing, isn't it.
Variously, in Bitches:
BHP: I really wish that there could be precisely one rule, and it would be Don't Be A Jerk.
PMM: You do not come into someone's house, piss on the carpet, and say "well, you should have a yellow carpet so it blends in."
billytea and Am-Chau in Natter:
I thought people might like to know that in Bhutan, today is the Day of Nine Evils. Let's be careful out there.
How many of the Nine Evils do you have to collect to get into Special Hell? And can Buffistas get a bulk-buy deal on them?
Nutty in Dude, where's my Precious on LotR: (Spoilery for changes to novel canon)
I'm completely cool with the Faramir changes. If I were a cop, and I randomly met a short person who was carrying around an Uzi, would I automatically trust that this short person was, in fact, the right person to carry this Uzi, and in fact was only carrying it because he was on his way to the smeltery to remake the Uzi into a pencil-holder?
Even if I'd recently had a dream about short people with weapons, I would still confiscate the Uzi and arrest the short person, because Uzis are dangerous and people often lie. Especially about Uzis and where that person happened to be going with said Uzi.
I give Movie!Faramir points for not being a dummy.
