Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.
ted r. in Buffy:
Victor's and Holli's theory also explains what I've been puzzling over for a while, which is the fact that in the "I'll Never Tell" number, Xander really didn't tell his deepest fears about getting married.
I thought he mentioned the hairy toes?
Ken Buddha, on a particularly hopeless reviewer:
You might try a little masturbation, pal, because obviously the libido juice has backed all the way up into your critical faculties.
In Bitches:
Aimée: I regulated all of my piles to the trash. If it's that important, I'll get it again.
Shawn: I am intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your literature.
Jess PMoon (about Battlefield Earth, but really it could be any movie):
It's also one of the most faithful book-to-movie adaptations in existance. Watching the movie is exactly like reading the book. (Which is to say, tedious and irritating in the kind of way that makes you want to scream and throw things at the people responsible for putting this shit on the page/screen. But still, it's impressive.)
Jars in Firefly:
Ah, Nilly. She says what we all don't know we're thinking 'til she says it.
Madrigal Costello: That Oliver guy said that he was an underage drinker, driver and bestialist of cats and dogs. He happily anticipates going to jail where he expects to receive golden showers. I think he's one of the kids I regularly tutor.
Betsy HP: In what?
Nutty in Firefly:
I think even space nihilists would draw the line at gnawing on intestines. They do have some standards.
Calli:
When I'd only been in NC for a few years, I saw a man with his arms full approaching a door. So I opened it for him. He thanked me and we went on with our lives.
Or rather he did. I got to listen to my Southern Belle acquaintance tell me -- at length -- that I shouldn't have done such a thing. A proper lady would never impugn a gentleman's strength and resourcefullness and yadda yadda like that. Besides, and she leaned over to whisper this part, "It's fun to watch 'em struggle." I replied that I'd rather have practical good manners than coded good manners that were really flimsily hidden malice.
It's not entirely amazing that we no longer hang out.
Natter:
Shari_H: I think in all my years I've made two that actually look like kippot. The rest are affectionately referred to as "nose warmers" by my DH
Maybe it made me smile out loud because I've been there and done that too many times, maybe because of the imagery, probably because of both.
Bitches
Deb: Pythons, as I recall, have a nice little gland at the far end that sprays a particularly unpleasant and sticky liquid.
Aimee: Then again, so do men.
