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.
Conversation about Ouija boards, in Bitches:
Jilli: One of my friends uses them as serving trays, which I thought was kinda cute.
Anne W.: I'm afraid it would only be cute until a toast point with caviar and crumbled egg started spelling out Y-O-U-A-R-E-A-L-L-G-O-I-N-G-T-O-D-I-E-H-A-H-A-H-A-H-A-H-A Goodbye!
Emily, in Natter:
I was taking notes during the midterm review today, and the professor said "bit operations are actually polynomial, while algebraic complexity is exponential. And how is this possible?" And I wrote down, "Because he is the Kwisatz Haderach!" Then I giggled quietly to myself for an unseemly amount of time.
billytea, in regards to Freak-Ass Churches and Top Gun (spoilery for Top Gun!)
A group of us are watching the movie over at someone's house (so obviously my FAC was a bit easier on the movie than yours), and the bit where their jet goes out of control and Goose breaks his neck ejecting comes up. And this guy says "He who lives by the sword will die by the sword". On the drive home I presented my position that accidental mechanical failure doesn't constitute a sword.
Emily on a roll, in Bitches:
Matt:
I always thought it would be fun to do Tarot readings in a carnival-type situation, and every now and then get a scared look, throw the customer's money back, and yell for 'em to get out of my tent, pronto.
Emily:
"Let's see, Death crossing the Wheel of Fortune means that... oh. Um. Nothing. It means nothing at all. Uh, Pat Sajak's going to die, eventually, that's all for today I've just remembered a terribly important appointment thank you please come again you can go now!"

More COMMage for me! (Like frottage, only with commas.)
Ellen S.:
Steph, you have traumatized me For Life. I must now clean out my head, which will take forever because I'm out of the jumbo-sized brain swabs.
Wolfram, in Bureaucracy:
For example if 29 people want a Clem is Hott thread, and 15 people don't, then automatically the 15 people win because the other 50 or so "active" posters really couldn't care less. And that's 29 pissed off, sexually frustrated, Buffistas of questionable taste with no outlet to vent those disturbing feelings. Do we really want to risk that?
Wolfram again, on the endless scintilating discussion of voting methods in Bureaucracy:
And FTR I'm getting Borda dis.
Wolfram in Bureaucracy, making light of a very serious issue:
On the subject of abstension votes, I think we should include more specific options for people who aren't firmly yays or nays.
1) emphatically yes; 2) yes; 3) eh; 4) no; 5) no fuckin' way; 6) abstain; 7) don't give a rat's ass; 8) monkey; 9) what the hell's a quorum? 10) LOL
Wooohoooo - COMM hattrick.
