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.
Burrell in Angel (only slightly spoilery):
Adam and Eve had free will in Eden, even if they really didn't have much to do with it beside say to each other, "Hey, you want to go praise God?" "Sure!" and "After praising God, how's about we do some gardening?"
Madrigal in Natter:
As long as the gift's a returnable item, it's not such a hardship, unlike having to unload a sledding bear Christmas card holding tree that was most likely forged in the fires of Mordor.
Discussing comforting hurt fictional characters in Bitches:
connie neil: "crawl into the TV and give that man a hug--among other things"
fay: Absolutely. (Although that's a very eccentric spelling of blow job)
Fay, on her possible F2F dress:
It has a satin ribbon under the breasts that ties at the back, this dress, and it's cut in a vaguely antique style. And it has a lace-trimmed V neck of the 'Hello, these will be your tits for the day, how can they be of service?' variety. Go me!
Trudy in Bitches on the joy of buxom buffistas:
Fay, we shall boobie-squish when we hug. Weeee!
Kat Perez making me snort in Buffy: After all, wouldn't it have made more sense to have Giles handle the translation duties now that he's back? I mean what else has he been doing besides second guessing Buffy and buying turtlenecks at the mall?
erikaj in Buffy:
I really did think fighting Ultimate Evil would be more consistently exciting.
Teppy, in Natter (no spoilers, so far as I can see, just a personal opinion):
I've never seen Alias at all, but my Buffy-watching Mom and my non-Buffy-watching stepdad watch it faithfully. After the finale, Mom e-mailed me and pronounced that (this is a direct quote): "it jumped the shark. That is the right phrase, right? Something with a shark."
From Bureaucracy 2:
Wolfram:
Time to plan some hazing rituals for the newbies. Suggestions?
Aimée:
They have to read every single post from B'cry 1 and then pass an essay quiz based on the answers they don't find.
Wolfram:
Okay there's hazing, and then there's torture.
Aimée:
Leave it to a lawyer to point out the difference.
Jon B., in Buffista Music 1:
They played there twice to support "All Over The Place". I missed them the first time, but then a year or so later they returned and I caught them. I was right up front and Suzanna Hoffs did this thing where she ran back and forth across the stage while playing, and looked straight into the eyes of a bunch of different audience members (including mine!). I remember that my heart and brain were having this little internal struggle:
Brain: Interesting. This is exactly what male rock guitarists do with female audience members all the time. How fascinating that Ms. Hoffs is twisting gender stereotypes.
Heart: Guhhhhh.
