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.
Betsy Compaq in Natter:
I once worked at a company that insisted on a personality test that divided you up into pie slices - one red, one blue, and one yellow. The pie slices made a complete circle.
One of my crankier co-workers skewed his answers to create Pac-Man.
Anne: I remember hearing a funeral director's spiel about why embalming the "loved one" and putting the remains in a vacuum sealed, climate controlled vault in a memorial wall/mausoleum gave greater comfort to the family than seeing said remains placed into a less expensive casket and lowered into the cold, cold ground. Me, I would be somewhat more horrified by the idea of Granny spending eternity immured in some 1970's crap contemporary architecture. The whole setup was like the Cask of Amontillado with Muzak hymns and plushy carpeting.
Anne W in Bitches:
Given how anal I am about baggying up meat and labeling it before freezing, I am now picturing a Ziploc baggie with "Grandpa" and the cremation date written on it with a Sharpie marker.
I think that was Empress Aimee, not that Anne is not a total hoot, but I remember cause it was my freeze-dried grandfather under discussion.Thanks, Kat.
Ok, then. Oops.
From the Firefly thread:
manzo:
I take it there never was an answer as to what happen to the "i" in "aluminium" as it crossed the Atlantic?
Griffyn:
That's easy, the same thing that happened to the u in humour. The colonists simply didn't take well to vowel movements.

ita: Speaking of coming up, you should ask sarameg about 'dillo dicks sometime
Emily: No, I'm still working on the hyena dick knowledge. I'm good for now
Calli in Bitches:
It's good to know I'm not getting too into the death and despair headspace. The funeral thought train didn't bother me that much at first -- I'm a big fan of preparation. It's the way it keeps coming back to mind that's got me feeling odd. I should really be using this valuable fantasy time to dwell on a Wes-Calli-Xander sandwich. Oh well. At least my folks know they can talk to me about it. The funeral stuff, not the other.
From Lightbulbs:
TomW: That's the problem. You let monkeys onto the ballot and suddenly everybody goes monkey-crazy!
Oh, they're so cute! Oh, they're so helpful! Oh, they're so funny!
Before you know it, the board has been renamed "Monkey", all the threads are called "Monkey", everybody has to post under Monkey-related names, like "Monkey-Luvva" and we're only allowed to discuss Mutant Enemy shows that have monkeys in them.
Well, I say that monkeys are just a bunch of poop flinging trouble makers.
amyth: Your monkey hate makes Joss cry.
