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.
FayJay in Angel (and although I've white fonted it, it's pretty non-spoilery because she hasn't seen any episodes from this season):
Oooh, he's always been of the kink, our boy Wes. It's that whole public school education - dressing up younger lads as girls, spankings, canings, all that good healthy stuff that made The Empire great.
Being all immutable and all, the laws of physics are unlikely to change when your back is turned. Unlike the laws of grammar, which are a bunch of slippery little bastards.

Kat: ita et al., since you're taking requests, can you write code to directly transcribe my thoughts into the posting box? Cause that might be helpful.
ita: We're beta testing that right now.
And you have a dirty mind, BTW.

I'm sorry, every time I red this I see it as "The Green Velvet Frog. Which at least has the advantage of some historical precedent. - Billytea
Oops, sorry. Didn't think it was specific enough to be considered spoilery.
White that. NAFDA.
Nutty, in the Fanfiction thread:
That sounds like how I felt about Ben-Hur when I saw it at 19. My friends were aghast I hadn't seen it, and they sat me down to watch it, and when the intermission between tapes came, I was like, "So.... gay?" And they all sort of looked at each other and said, "I don't remember it being like this when I was a kid."
John H:
Thuy's family live in District Four of Saigon, which is kind of South Central. The other day her brother-in-law took me for a walk around the district and at one point, took off his shirt to show me his tattoos. I thought this was just more weirdness, until Thuy explained that he was saying something like "do not fear to walk around in District Four, because people have now seen me walking around with you, and my tattoos identify me as a member of the local Organised Crime Family". So that was nice.

Sad sign I've been too headdown in fandom: I read "The transportation trouble spots for the week ahead" in the local paper and thought "Ooo! Traffic Spoilers!"
(err... local paper. I swear, there was an L there. The loca paper is the other one.)
