'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
Hayden:
"I know this isn't pc, but..."
If the statement following this disclaimer is racist or sexist, I usually call people on this. No one accuses me of being a radical vegetarian lesbian, especially when I'm wearing cowboy boots.
Betsy:
Made out of lesbian hide?
The inimitible Billytea, in Natter:
Just for the record, quantum mechanics may be fine for subatomic particles, but it sucks at the lifestyle level.
Rio: Hola fuckos. I can't manage the capslock today. I'm too stressed out and upset. I'll try again tomorrow.
Alibelle: I don't understand what I need to do to make VCD's work. VCD's are too complicated.
Thessaly: It's easy:
(Man, I have SO been there.)
Ash, in the Music thread:
I don't think punk will ever actually die. It just doesn't exactly care, frowns at the ambulance and the doctor and the priest, then stands up and walks away after every burial.
Deena, in Bitches:
Bil broke my brain and it wasn't even his fault. I read this and thought it said, "will you let him get..."
firstbrain: Oooh, easy gift getting, again!
secondbrain: Let him? He's an adult! What's with let him?
firstbrain: Well, you are the royal keeper of the budget.
secondbrain: But, he's an adult! He earns money! How am I to "let" him? What is this let?
firstbrain: But, you said "he let me" when you talked about cameras, dressers and lamps.
secondbrain: That's different.
firstbrain: Different how?
secondbrain: Because! Well, it was shorthand for something like, after discussing the budget and explaining what I want, Greg and I agreed that these things would be nice to have and doable with some care.
firstbrain: Didn't say that.
secondbrain: Meant it!
firstbrain: Then what would you have done if he'd said, "No, you can't have it?"
secondbrain: Probably said, "yes, dear." OH MY GOD I WOULD HAVE SAID YES DEAR!
firstbrain: Told you so. You have a double standard. Why's that, you suppose? huh? Maybe you're not so feminist in control no one tells me what to do as you think, huh?
secondbrain: I would have sulked.
firstbrain: Oh, sure, marginalize yourself further, why don't you? Let's all go back to being Ibsen's Nora, shall we?
secondbrain: But he doesn't really tell me what I can and cannot do! It's just relationship shorthand.
firstbrain: Huh. Remember books you wanted to buy? Huh? Ringing any bells here? Do you tell him what to do?
secondbrain: NO! Only sometimes, but he doesn't have to listen. Okay, wait, he doesn't tell me no and I don't tell him no! It really is a partnership! Sometimes one of us reminds the other of the realities of the budget, that's all! We work together to get the things we want and need.
firstbrain: Yeah, right. Can we say fanwank?
secondbrain: I'm getting the minister of Kill Stupid People after you.
firstbrain: Not if I get to him first.
Sheryl: I'M FINE. DID YOU GET MY E-MAIL ABOUT BOSKONE? (Ok, so now I'm channeling Rio, minus the swears.)
Nora Deirdre:
There's a line between being supportive and being someone's bitch slapping voodoo doll. So I hear.
Aimée: Why is my boss singing "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore"?
Nora Deirdre : because you're in HELL?
Kathy: Is he leaving for the weekend? If so--"Halleluuuuujah!"
msbelle: cause your boss is a freak. please raise your hand to your forehead (back of plam to forehead) clasp two middle fingers with thumb, extend other two fingers, stick out tongue, make demon eyes, and face your boss - this will keep you safe from the freaky spirits.
Aimée: She caught me.
Theodosia: You can find anything on the internet...
Phill: You couldn't figure this out from onlinehaircuts.com and all the My Little Pony slash fic?
