Buffy ,'Him'
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.
From Buffy, a bit spoilery:
Elena: I really hope that there is a big Giles payoff... And a reason for the timestamp on CWDP. I'm hoping that there is nudity involved.
Gleebo: Nudity should always be involved with timestamps. Note to self: Get job at post office ASAP
In Natter:
Gus: (on the Buffista Gallery) My mind is now broken, bashed to flinders in a roaring sea of superlatives.
Deena: Gus, you are so cute.
Gus: That's it. For the rest of the day I shall be maniacal Ego Boy, throwing snowballs at crows. If they should squawk, I shall excoriate them with "Deena thinks I'm cute! Refute that, feathered rat!"
Elena in Bitches...
beth, less than 24 hours after I first met Trudy, and 15 minutes after I first met Jessica we were naked in a bath house rubbing mud on each other. I haven't met any other Buffistas since, in part because I feel that any other greeting would be a letdown.
Mikal in Angel, non-spoilery.
OK .... on my second cup of coffee .... feigning coherence .... ignoring disaster area that serves as my apartment ..... praying for roommate to meet a slave type that adores domestic chorery.
Childrearing discussion in Bitches:
Elena:
If I ever had a child their walls would be decoupaged with the Gashlycrumb Tinies and they'd play with a plush Cthulhu and Narlyeothep. And their last name would be either Mythos or Cthonian.
billytea:
Damn. Now I want a Tickle Me Cthulhu. "CTHULHU'S NOT TICKLISH THERE, MORTAL!" And then when you hit the right spot, his tentacles wiggle and he sucks the brain out of the dog.
JavaCat in Natter:
Has to be specific to this software, MM. Here goes. Current version is called PMS Version 7.0. Lovely acronym, whot?
A pavement management system (PMS) is a decision making process or system that helps public works personnel make cost-effective decisions concerning the maintenance and rehabilitation of their jurisdiction's pavements for which they are responsible in a systematic way. Many people refer to a set of software programs as the pavement management system. This is really a misnomer, since the software does not manage pavements or make decisions. The personnel in the organization manage pavements and make decisions; the software only assists in information management and decision support. Pavement management systems provide a means to organize the massive amounts of data that develops about a pavement network. When the data storage and analyses are automated, a PMS stores data, retrieves data, makes multiple complex calculations quickly and efficiently, and provides results in easily understandable reports.
And to point out the salient bit:
This is really a misnomer, since the software does not manage pavements or make decisions.
Glad we cleared that up!
In Angel:
deborah grabien: Rants to tend to be incoherent weirdness
scrappy: Not mine. Mine are elegant and well-reasoned. At least they are as I type them. Later, when I read them, they somehow degenerate into choppy syntax, lame argument, and self-pitying remarks. I don't know how the internet DOES that!
Betsy H., in Natter:
Spoons are the most melancholy of the major cutlery types. They brood. And then they throw themselves down the Disposall.
Allibelle in Natter:
*soft voice* If you'll look to your left, you'll be able to catch a glimpse of the scrappy Buffista. This graceful creature is very well adapted to its Los Angeles habitat, but is usually very hard to spot. Move carefully, you don't want to startle her.
