'War Stories'
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.
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
In Previously (quoting myself for context)...
Emlah: Quick question... rewatched the Faith arc in Season 1 Angel, and I'm confused. How come Angel could get into that apartment to save Wesley? I'm pretty sure it's stated that the owner is alive in the hospital. Did I miss something really simple? Or do I need to fanwank and move on?
Katie M: The popular fanwanks are a) the owner died or b) Faith living there for three hours made her a resident, and thus her open invitation to Angel earlier in the episode counted as an invitation into the apartment.
Emlah: Hmmm. I think I'll go with b).
RobertH: That must liven up TPTB's day.
"Hey, someone with close ties to vampires just beat someone up severely and is now squatting in his house. How long should I set the doorway timer for?"
"Hang on, let me go get my dice."
They're duelling over Jack Sparrow/Johnny Depp in Movies:
P.M.M.: Damn it! HANDS OFF MY BIG GAY PIRATE!!! WE HAVE BUCKLES TO SWASH!
Sue: In Johnny's case that would be buckles to swish.
Mechakrelboyne: Still, it's not a good day. For paintball, or nekkid women. Classic case of combining two good things to get one horrible thing. I like paintball, and I really like nekkid women, but jeez that's one of the more contemptible things I've heard in a while.
Fred Pete: "Eeeewwww" and "It's a free country" can co-exist in the same mind.
Glitter comes to mind.
Calli: But this game, which as was mentioned earlier, gives you points for beating the crap out of people, is apparently perfectly fine with his church.
Billytea: Apparently his church now views the occult as a more significant market competitor than random violence. It's heartening, in its way.
Youse guys are funny when you're annoyed
Steph L: I adore MarioKart, and that's pretty much my extent of video game expertise/knowledge. Nobody dies in Mario Kart, not even Luigi, who is annoying enough that he ought to at least get his foot run over or something.
JZ, in Bitches, no context.
Go team lordly chunk!
(Please note that Fred Pete above is talking about the movie Glitter, not actual glitter.)
