'Unleashed'
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.
Jilli:
I once sat next to someone on a plane who spent the entire flight highlighting passages in their Bible. Once they got a look at me (black velvet dress, top hat, small fanged rabbit), they edged away as far as possible, and would occasionally highlight something in a determined manner, then glance over.
Ple:
My car needs its own hanky code.
Was rear-ended twice in the last three days.
connie, merrily misunderstanding Dana in Bitches:
You're slashing a gospel group? Extra Special Hell.
Billytea:
Meanwhile, Huzzah! I have finished my own delaying tactic. Bec and I have been doing a jigsaw in the shape of a frog, and I just upgraded his status from 'has most of his feet and maybe half his head' to 'Awww, what a cute froggie". So, go me!
And Ms. Lizard:
Bonus points for using "huzzah" and "froggie" in the same paragraph.
ita in Bitches, explaining why she doesn't try the 'crazy' card:
I can't spit and not hit a family member that has outpsychoed me without breaking a sweat. So I have a low estimation of my abilities.
Hecubus in Natter:
Emmett: Dad, can you name a monster for every letter in the alphabet, except for the vowels?
Me: So...starting with "B"?
Emmett: No, go ahead and do the vowels too.
Me: Okay. A is...Alien. B is a Balrog.... [bunch of other monsters] and L is....uh....
Emmett: Living Dead!
Me: Right. Good one. M is for Mummies. N is uh....hmmm.
Emmett: National Living Dead!
Me: Excellent choice.
Emmett: I know a good one for Z.
Me: Okay, I'll save that one for you. [bunch of other monsters] ...and U is for Undead. And V is for Voldemort. W is Werewolf. X is X-Ray Vision Man and Y is for Yeti and Z is?
Emmett: Zombie!
Me: Perfect.
Emmett: I helped with some. Like National Living Dead. That was a good one. It would be like a sport like National Football League. Except they wouldn't have any balls they'd just kick around their heads and their hands.
Michele T.:
Well, the crazy-cult-clone-hoaxers believe we all started as alien-created clones, right? Only, now, when I think of aliens coming to earth, I find myself visualizing Tom Welling, so I guess that puts me in the pro-crazy-cult camp. Drat.
Anne W.:
Rather than Buffy, we here in the U.S. are being graced with "Funky Flubs" this evening.
I swear, television programming has dug through the bottom of the barrel and is speedily tunneling its way through the earth's crust.
Anne W., in Natter:
You know how cats can sleep really, really soundly? It's really funny to see them wake up in mid-air.
I think I'd rather wear a tiara than a veil if I ever got married. With veils I'd start thinking about all kinds of women-as-virgin-property issues, whereas with a tiara I'd just be in a princess-ish powertrip.
