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.
Angus in Natter:
To me, "Changing Rooms" (which is what it's called in Australia), is a fable about gay man/straight man relationships. It's all designer queens with no understanding of practical possibilities cajoling cute straight handymen into making their bizarre whims real. I love it.
Matt in Natter:
I love that the word Bridezilla has been used enough to pass into popular culture. Plus, y'know, the visual of of a 30 story monster in a wedding dress growling "I SAID PINK TRIM AND ROSES!!!" and then kicking over the rotunda dome of Congress.
Allyson and billytea in "Buffy" (sort of spoilerish for this season):
Buffy's job is to bend every situation to an opportunity to talk about herself, and how she's not fucking Spike, no way no how, exept the part where she constantly thinks about it.
So you're saying that she is in fact Ally McBeal?
Schmoker in Buffy re: comparing this season to last (minorly spoilery maybe):
Season 7 so far is just one giant Death Star Blueprints argument between Andrew and Johnathan
Sean K:
They always say that stories take on a life of their own. Mine is apparently a big slut and will run away with whoever wants to throw their favorite hunky guy in it.
John H in Natter (on his birthday!)
Maybe I'm all confused about Edward the Seventh -- which one was he? What was his time period? I know all about Edward the Eighth of course. he's the abdication guy, right? Married some lady called Marge Simpson.
Signed, Did wanky "Social And Economic" history in school, not cool stuff with kings and queens and heads gettingchopped off.
Am-Chau Yarkona in Natter (who needs context?)
It's right here on page 237845 of the well-known How To Tell Who Is Good And Who Is Bad When You Can't See If They Are Wearing White Hats Or Not Manual.
Teppy, in Bitches:
I wanted to remember to pull out the (many) bridesmaid dresses I have and take them to a consignment store, b/c why not get $$ for them? Because I am SO not going to wear them again. (There's a wedding/formal dress consignment shop by my office.) To conserve handspace, I wrote "w.dresses" on my hand. Some stranger on the elevator at work looked at my hand and, all perky, asked "Going shopping for a new dress?"
I pointed to the "w" and said "That stands for 'wedding dresses.' I've been married twice and haven't been able to part with the dresses. But I'm going to take them to a consignment shop and sell them so I can pay for the second divorce."
Seriously. Hand to God, I said that. Nosy troll.
Madrigal in Smallville:
Captain Logic lacks the hovercraft necessary to even get near landlocked little Smallville.
Who'd'a thunk it? Our Bureaucracy really is funnier than Kafka.
ita - We've never really had an indication that ANYTHING slows natter.
Kat - what would slow Natter? Perhaps the Bubonic Plague?
Elena - No, people would be comparing pustule size and home remedies.
