Oh well, if you prefer context. I sorta liked the abs-tract. (grins. runs)

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.
Because sometimes Natter takes you to places you weren't sure you wanted to go:
BetsyHP: Was he in the process of becoming one with the earth?
DavidS: You never heard the phrase "fuckhole"?
BetsyHP: Not until this moment. I had not realized how fortunate I was until it was too late.
victor infante in Quotable, sans context:
SALTY GOODNESS TAKES IT FROM BEHIND!
Steph L.:
See, Deb and Sophia just demonstrated the fact that people's bodies are different, how they respond to different foods is radically different, and basically you need to see what makes your body thrive and then go with it.
Again, I curse the gods that it isn't Skippy Super Chunk.
Erk. Theo, can you change the typo in my quote? From "basicly" to "basically"?
I hate being immortalized as a cretin.
I have changed the spelling! Actually I misspelled the correction in the first place. I'm not doing all that great myself tonight.....
Tom Scola: I'm not sure I want to go home.
ita: Stay with us! Stay with us!
We'll huddle for warmth.
Betsy HP: (Only ita would be worrying about warmth in midsummer on the East Coast.)
Teppy, in Movies:
The Brittany Murphy movie -- Uptown Girls, I think? -- and Freddy vs. Jason are both opening today.
I think Hollywood missed the boat. The IDEAL summer blockbuster would have combined the two movies.
Kristen: So the FBI is investigating a connection between the blaster worm and this?
You know, if our power system was a little more up to date, I might put more stock in that theory than I do.
ita: The power grid runs WINDOWS XP?
Are they insane?
Kat on the power outage:
I did not walk. I walked up from Greenwich Village to Port Authority where I attempted to go in and catch a NJ bus thinking it would be easiest. Silly me. Port Authority was spewing out people like a deranged popcorn popper. You couldn't even move on the sidewalk in front of it. So I walked around the corner to take the cheapie shuttle bus and found people crowding around and desperately pushing to get on anything that moved. I reached down, found my inner pushy bitch, and got myself on a bus. I then proceeded to spend hours inching along in a bus without air conditioning (the driver turned it off because he was afraid of running out of gas) while people periodically hurled themselves at the vehicle beating frantically on the doors and windows and begging to be let on despite the fact that we were packed in so tightly that we couldn't even move. And then, we finally made it to the Lincoln Tunnel. I have never been so happy to see a hard, straight object going into a dark, round opening in my entire life.
Trudy on the power outage:
Beverly: I guess we'll probably see a wave of births in the Northeast, come next May. It's what happened in the brownouts.
Trudy: HELLLL no. I'd have only slept with vampires last night and only until the friction warmed him up.
