Xander/Giles ,'Never Leave Me'
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.
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.
PMM in natter:
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.)

Could it be that the reason the Canadians are missing so many vowels is that Boston kidnapped them and won't let them go?
Theodosia, in Natter, cause it's funny when read randomly:
[strongly resisting temptation to go stand in front of Nutty's office building down the street and scream out variant pronunciations of 'fart']
shrift, in Natter:
It's really cute that so many people online think that just because I'm a webmaster that I'm omniscient.
Cute in that way where I want to strangle them with my bare hands until their eyes pop out of their sockets, all while screaming about how I have more important things to do, and they'd better die quickly.
amych, in Natter:
Yeesh. You wanna know how viral natter is? Reading this discussion, I started looking around for good weapons around my desk. And then I realized that I don't have any co-workers to attack them with. I'm not about to chuck a stapler at the dog just to join in this conversation.
in the Angel thread (edited for sense/continuity):
Betsy: I do hope they're setting up an Angel-vs.-Lilah confrontation in which Wesley isn't sure who to root for. In one corner, abusive hostile ungrateful sometimes-evil vampire; in other, abusive bed-sharing evil person.
Brenda M: I can think of a way Angel could even those odds....IJS.
Burrell: And, um, what Betsy said, too. I really really hope that said confrontation involves Cordy being eviscerated, and then I'll know exactly who to root for myself.
PMM: I'd love to see him just kick back with a bowl of popcorn, throw some snarky comments at both of them, say "Oh, to heck with the both of you" and run off with Lindsey.
Betsy: Dana will kill him if he tries anything
In Angel, I think, though it was OT:
joe boucher : Don't want the poster, but I thought the Olsen Twins Jailbait Countdown website was very funny. Sure, sure it was wrong, but it was still funny. Just a picture of the twins and a clock counting down.
billytea: There's part of me that thinks, hang on, wouldn't they be legal at 16 in most states? What else might he be waiting for? Is he counting down to the day they can vote? "The Olsen twins will save my nation."
... Yeah. they should put that at the bottom of the website.
