Send help. Or muppets. Either will do.
hahahahahahah! plus, the ferrets. pure comedy gold.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
Ken Buddha, in Firefly, on the luck of the UKers:
they are getting the show in the proper rutting order.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Deena and Connie Neil (respectively), looking at new pictures from Return of the King in "Dude:"
It took me forever to get Aragorn and Legolas straight.
From the looks of some of those pictures, I don't think either of them are yet. Keep trying.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Nutty, in Bureaucracy:
You know, I just sort of realized: I view Buffistas as a (very large) family of siblings, or a giant polyamorous marriage, rather than as some kind of town. We're not here because we live next door to each other, or we all care about the water rights or the septic system or the city services we're all sharing. We're here because we care about each other, because we carry meaning, collectively, for each other, and we could all be crammed into a van down by the river and still call it (a really cramped) home.
I want this embroidered on a wall hanging.
Or, y'know, a t-shirt.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
Well, webvan.com is available again if it comes to that.

My first COMM! I'm walking on air.
And because it hasn't been put in here yet, I'll post my first COMM too.
MechaKrelboyne in Firefly, on the un-Americans getting FF:
Wow. It's like Bitter, Fist-Shaking Fans: the Next Generation. Brings a tear to the eye, it does.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Shawn in Movies, making a threat I think we can all get behind (so long as we're not sitting in front of her):
If the One turns out to have midichlorians, I'm throwing my milkshake at the screen.

Pretty angsty boys make everything better.
In Buffy, re Angel, therefore whitefonted:
Sarameg: I'm with sumi. Buffy has Issues, sure. But [Angel] has Issues plus offsprung with Issues.
Smonster: Angel has so many Issues that his Issues have Offspring, his Offspring has Issues and Issues with Offspring, and he has Offspring Issues with Offspring.

Thrive to spite them
Fay and billytea in Bitches about Killer Ant Reality TV:
Billy: They're posing the challenge: could the army ants of Latin America attack and devour a human?
Fay: See, I'm envisioning the TV crew proposing this to the ants, and the ants listening earnestly, and looking at the tropical holiday/fabulous car/blahblahblah prize on offer, and discussing it amongst themselves, and then saying they're up for it, and the audience applauding, and then ravenous ant death happening to the TV crew. With added salsa music.
Billy: Hee. No, see, you're thinking of Japanese nature programs. This is an American program, so
a. The ants are presented with a variety of culinary options representing all walks of American life (if America consisted entirely of elderly curmudgeons with surprising survival skills, feisty mothers of four, remarkably photogenic twentysomethings with at least four pairs of additional teeth, a couple of token minorities, and a sprinkling of whiny bitches); and
b. The last person uneaten wins a million dollars. Oh, and the whole idea was ripped off an idea developed three years ago by a Dutch presenter, David Aatenbreugher.
With added salsa music.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
billytea in Bitches:
I've found that I've become more mellow about not arguing with bonehead opinions. I call it my 'history will vindicate me' stance. (Chosen because it sounds more magnanimous than the 'it's like talking to styrofoam' stance.)
