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.
Emlah, in UnAmerican:
Squeeeeee!!! New Buffy after FIVE FREAKING WEEKS. That requires a large-scale Dance of Joy featuring all Australian Buffy fans, hippos in tutus, cute gymnast boys in glittery hotpants, a llama, the theme from a Summer Place (sung by Jasper from The Simpsons) and a feather boa.
Thanks to Matt the Bruins Fan in Spoilers (but not a spoiler)...
At the End of Days Starfury convention, [they showed] a video from Joss to the fans that featured a spoof Season 5 writer's whiteboard:
“Numfar = Sexy”
“Angel not brooding enough”
“Show not gay enough, more ballet!”
“Hand puppets”
“KILL WESLEY!”
In Music:
Katie M. : if someone describes their music as "gypsy jazz" does that actually mean anything? I just saw this band at a festival today that used that descriptor, and it confused me.
Gandalfe: Maybe they steal children and force them to learn to play the trombone?
Sorry for breaking COMM there for a minute. Not that I don't think the entire Music thread is COMMable, but ...
NoiseDesign: Not sure about the Hawaiian shirt thing. I just throw the parties, I don't try to explain them.

Raquel once again in Movies:
But it's England. Killing people until you starve to death sounds like a reasonable alternative to eating the food.
billytea on the world 100 million years in the future:
Australia will have crashed into Alaska after some idiot left the keys in the ignition.
thessaly, in Buffistechnology:
DXM is a computer god. Bow down before DX in all his might and splendor, for someday you too may find yourself with a wonky hard drive and lo, your data shall be as dust scattered to the four winds and there shall be much weeping, gnashing of teeth, and hurling of objects.
But if your heart is true and your purpose pure, your hard drive may yet be restored. DX leadeth me through the Valley of the Windows Configuration and I shall fear no Blue Screen of Death, for DXM hath told me that my swap file was the problem and he is all-knowing and probably able to wrestle alligators as well. He beateth the Software Gnomes with a Phillips-head screwdriver and it's FG.
Deena: Kara is dressed for clubbing today. She picked out her pink sweater dress which is now a wee bit short, a pair of knee-high pink tie-dye socks and her ankle length black boots.
Kat: I told my kids, "This would never happen if you were at a mostly wealthy white school in the Valley."
"Yeah, Ms. G, it's a conspiracy. They're trying to deny us our education."
"No, it's not, honey. A conspiracy means it was planned in advance. These people can't plan. It's just systemic institutional racism."
Then I taught them these vocabulary words:
systemic racism
plausible deniability
