Wash ,'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.
Theodosia in Natter on the Pirate Cruise of Running Away:
"Hey! When I promised you 'rum, sodomy and the lash' it was meant to be like a garnish! Not 'rum, sodomy and the lash in equal proportions' and most especially not 'rum, sodomy, sodomy, sodomy, sodomy, sodomy, and oh yes the lash too.' Now furl the mainsails or topgallant the mizzenmast or whatever, just get this boat pointed in some direction. I'll be down in my cabin with the rum."
Madrigal in 'Buffy (parts spoilery, but still fun out of context):'
Spike hitting himself - it was just like when Jesse Ventura grabbed Tommy Thompson and started pounding him with his own fist and yelling, "Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!" (Okay, that may not have happened, but I just absolutely love imagining it did. And that image kept me from switching off to Gay Austrian Musical Porn. )
I know how to say kill, dead, death, drunk, hurl, and spear. Yet I do not know how to say hello.
s.a. on her Latin vocabulary,
Madrigal in Angel thread:
Lilah & Angel - they could be just like the Farside wolf and sheep who are best friends until they clock in for work, then they spend 8 hours being all Nature Channely towards each other, then after 5 they go for beers. I could see them getting chummy that way - while they're being actively good or evil, they'll sort of fight, but when they aren't, they just have a good quality snark-fest.
Nutty in Buffy:
Conveniently, the Hellmouth is in Principal Wood's office, which gives a whole new meaning to the big 6-month review meeting.
Fayjay on published porn:
The stuff that gets published... Good grief. I mean, I realise (logically) that people with poor vocabularies and poorer powers of discrimination deserve books that can be read one-handedly just as much as the more pretentious & literary readers, but there's just no need for porn to suck so badly. To feature sucking, by all means, but not to suck.
Sigh.
Well written porn for the people, damn it all!
Where was that?
Literary. There'sa bit of talk about porn about librarians, and Fay made the mistake (as did I) of reading some of this porn.
Nutty, in Buffy:
For the record, I'm just frighteningly clairvoyant and would never sully my pristine brain cells by reading spoilers.
I'm looking at your bank statement right now. And it's fucking great !
The magnificent Betsy, in Firefly:
We were having Indian out once with our infant son, and the proprietor told us that our son was so beautiful we should put an earring in his ear, or at least tie a red thread round his wrist, to distract the envious spirits. Maybe Firefly needs a red thread?
[It turned out the son *was* the evil spirit, so no big.]
