'Time Bomb'
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.
Katie M: When I was little, I spent half a year refusing to acknowledge the existence of the letter w. I could see damn well that it was an upside-down m, and no one was going to fool me with that one.
It's actually an entry in my baby book: "Katie acknowledges existence of w!!"
"Buffista I have forgotten" = Victor Infante.
"Buffista I have forgotten" = Victor Infante.
Yeah. And my next words were, "kill me."
DXMachina, context is probably self evident:
Makes no nevermind to me if we discuss country artists I've never heard of, or indie rock artists that I've never heard of.
DX in Press. I want it to go down in Buffista history...
7. We should close and archive Buffy Spoilage Lite as soon as technically possible.
YES: 123*
NO: 0
NO PREFERENCE: 0
(and after)
A total of 123 ballots were cast. Question number 7 may be the first time in recorded history that all Buffistas have been in agreement with each other.
In "Dude":
Nutty: I love how, in the books, Tolkien at no point bothers to clarify which towers he means. Minas Morgul certainly plays a more direct role in the events of the book than Barad-dur. But calling in The Three Towers or even Lots and Lots of Towers would have been kind of awkward.
DXMachina: I suppose that JRRT could have gone in a Monty Pythony direction:
The Two Towers are Barad-Dur and Orthanc... and Minas Morgul... The Three Towers are Barad-Dur, Orthanc, and Minas Morgul... and Minas Tirith... The Four Towers...
Jess PMoon: Stop reading my mind!
DXMachina: <Throws cover over palantir... >
Nilly: Whenever we named pets, we tried to make the names as long and complicated as possible. You could probably track a lot of my reading at the time through the names of the little birds-in-a-cage that were 'born' at our home.
Me:
What is WITH Lush, anyway? They've been discontinuing stuff like drunken sailors.
Jacqueline: imagines a 17th-18th century island tavernkeeper and his wife shaking their heads and saying, "Ah, inn's right tore up now, aye, but 'tis nothing to the visit of Captain Jack in aught three. Hadn't been ashore in nigh six months, an' 'steeth, but his men went wild. Threw a bath bomb through the Lord Sheriff's window, salt scrubbed all the tavern wenches, tore through Lush and discontinued all the glitter, all the lavender, all the ginger. Never seen nothin' like it afore, never hope to see the like again."
In a discussion of tear-jerking Buffy moments...
Cindy:
Dear Santa (aka Father Christmas),
Please disregard the horribly wrong statements by UTTAD, Matt, and brenda. They really aren't on drugs. It's the heat and the humidity. They love the class protector award scene; they just done had their brains melted.
Love,
The Buffistas
Steph L.: The REAL reason we don't get a season 8 of Buffy? Joss heard what UTTAD, Matt, and brenda said, and he got pissed, took his jump rope, and went home.
Ken Buddha: Also, it made the baby Jesus cry. And write Little House slash. It doesn't get much worse. maybe Smurf/My Little Pony
maybe Smurf/My Little Pony.
Oh God, my eyes! My eyes! Though really, I should have known once I heard about the Lego Porn that those little blue excuses for a children's cartoon were going to start causing trouble.
