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.
beth in Natter:
I expect niceness here. I come here for niceness. I love that I can always find niceness here. and that fact that there are debates over katsup as a valid food choice.
Edited to add Burrell's response:
Ironically, we are much more likely to get mean and nasty about each other's ketchup proclivities than we are about war protests.
Nilly, in Natter:
When I studied the English 'present simple' tense, in the fifth grade or so, I could never ever imagine it would ever be used with my name. Oh, the surprises life holds.
I can't believe nobody COMMed this!
Trudy, in Bitches:
From a Salon article:
"In southern France, about 10,000 people demonstrated in Toulouse against the United States, chanting: 'They bomb, they exploit, they pollute, enough of this barbarity.' "
Either that's a lot more catchy in French or we've got some clue as to how the Nazis rolled into Paris so easily
From Bitches, and whitefonted for miniscule current season Buffy spoilers:
Steph L. :The Evil was living in my sink.
amych: I'm trying very hard not to think of it as The Evil, because I already have a cat for all my domestic Evil needs. Instead, I'm trying to think of it as being like Lisa Simpson's mold-colony science project. Any day, I'm going to be able to peer into the sink and say, "Look, I made Lutherans!"
Calli, you don't need to whitefont -- I was just referring to a broadly generic evil, rather than the First Evil.
Although now that I've clarified, the whitefont might need to stay...
How very confusing.
In Natter:
DavidS:
presses nose to glass, and stamps feet in the cold, waiting for Theo to come turn on the lights and unlock the door.
DXMachina:
Looks around, notices that Connie hasn't showed up yet. Unlocks door, and steps back as David's stiff, frozen body falls into the thread...
Shrugs, starts mearaing...
In Angel:
Nutty: Ok, iffn we're getting gramatical, I want to throw down with them Brits, who insist that "z" is pronouced "zed" rather than "zee."
Trudy: No joke! The British Alphabet Song has 25 letters and a redneck.
In Angel, but non-spoilery.
Madrigal Costello
First it's alright, then there's alot and pretty soon society is just a bunch of monkeys in trees flinging crap at each other and mocking each other's use of the subjunctive tense.
DavidS, in SPOILERS, maybe spoilery for Buffy
*Man, I hate it when they save the universe with love. Who is Love's publicist anyway? Love is way more likely to be the First Evil anyway.*
Edited to fix tags
Dori, it would be nice to know which show it's spoilery for, since some folks are spoiled for one and not the other.
