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.
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.
billytea, in Bitches, on the subject of the giant, 2000+ year old mushroom:
For myself, I have certain objections (moral and otherwise) to eating entities that predate Christianity.
Trudy, in Bitches:
OXYCLEAN!
Honestly, I don't know how we menstruated without it.
Deena in Natter:
Tigger is bouncy, yes, and totally oblivious to other people's opinions. Tigger bounces people into bushes, and eats medicine for his favorite treat, and gets lost and stuck in trees and is irresponsible. Tigger is a manic Connor who can't find his family.
ita in Natter: My dad, in his eternal quest for near nudity...
Bureaucracy:
Julie: A Buffista, a nekkid prawn and a pair of trousers in a treehouse get a talkshow, nobody hears them fall, how many forrest threads do we create?
Darn. Nilly beat me to the punch.
Nutty, in Natter, on the joys of using a crappy WebTV keyboard:
Incoherent comedy is nobody's friend.
