'Potential'
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.
In F2F, the discussion about letting people know there’s a vote on location happening soon:
Noise Design: I would really hate to see how many of us it would take to change a light bulb and just how long we would be standing in the dark before it happened.
Steph: Well, there'd probably be a long discussion on wattage....
Deena: That would be a technical issue, ND. We'd talk about it until ita got access to the bulbs and changed it. Then we'd give her knives.
Aimée: MM and I have resigned ourselves tot he fact that our child's first word might very well be "Fuck".
From Angel, the Matt & Kristen show:
Matt the Bruins fan:
The sad thing is, he had a lot more personality back when he was an unknown actor playing thugs and con men in indie films. One more atrocity for the pile Allie McBeal must answer for.
Kristen:
Just another line item on the "David E. Kelley is a Soul Sucking Demon" list.
Matt the Bruins fan:
I think it must be how Michelle Pfeiffer stays so beautiful. Instead of the blood of virgins, she bathes in the talent and charisma of formerly gifted actors from her husband's shows.
Kristen :
Oooohhhh...excellent reasoning. It would also explain why she stays with the Soul Sucking Demon.
Matt the Bruins fan:
There may be something to this theory. While no Olivier, James Marsden could actually act to some degree back when he was on Second Noah, and even in the first X-Men movie. Then comes a stint on Allie Mcbeal, and now they have to spray him for termites if shooting is outdoors.
Trudy, in Natter. There was context. It sacrificed itself to create a better world.
What I'd REALLY like to say to the rude men is, "Are they enormous or just incredibly delicate?" and just stare at their crotches until they sit up.
Cashmere, in Natter:
I try to send the leave-me-alone-I'm-reading-my-book vibe. DH got stuck next to a woman on our 9 hour flight to London who asked him if he had accepted Jesus as his personal savior. He replied, "I have, but I think my wife's been struggling with that decision." I nearly tossed him out of the emergency exit.
Shawn: Anyone got advice for what to do about an itchy turtleneck?
sarameg: Take it off and burn it.
Scrappy in Natter: People suck often, but are also fascinating and wonderful.
Nilly, being silly in Natter

Lyra Jane mocks some Buffistas' (including me) phobia, and cracks me up at the same time:
I refuse to be afraid of anything I can kill with a square of toilet paper.
From Bitches,
Nicole: Only have Dreyers No Sugar Added Vanilla in the freezer.
Not tempted in the least bit to eat any of it.
amyparker: Nicole, for the love of dog, why? Why is it there?
Nicole: Fuck if I know.
Sometimes I have illusions of eating healthy while I'm at the grocery store.
amyparker: Ice cream is good for you! It has . . . um . . . .
(Sean? Help me out here?)
Sean: Oh, um... well... it's got ice cream in it... I mean, it's 100% pure ice cream, right? What could be better for you than that?
It certainly sold me on the ice cream I had tonight.
