Thank you Steph - I'm only a lurker here, with the occasionaly postiness, and that made me cry. Living in the Bay Area, it is shocking to realize this is the first couple I "know" who has gotten married. CONGRATS!!!

This thread is for Buffista quotage. Posts that are profound, witty, or otherwise deserving of immortality go here.

I know this wasn't said by a Buffista, but it is a direct quote, said by Jack Soo (who later played Sulu in Star Trek) in Flower Drum Song (quite a few R&H fans here). And it's just so fitting here:
Let's make San Francisco rock with gaiety!
Java Cat in Natter:
Eek. the motion sensor just decided I was dead and turned off all the lights. I hate when that happens. Then I hope no one comes by as I sit waving my left arm in circles over my head looking like a loon.
Note: Jack Soo did not play Sulu, but he did play another officer...Detective Nick Yemana on Barney Miller.
Nutty, in literary:
Hold on just a cotton pickin minute. I got Jurassic Park.
You guys are all classics of English language literature, (okay, Gus is French) and I'm a fricken airport read??
Thank you, Daniel, you saved me the trouble. George Takei played Sulu.
But Soo was in Flower Drum Dong, and he did say that line, and I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment!

Bev, that's a beautiful, beautiful typo.
Ginger: Rude woman. You are now covered with virii and that low-fat yogurt will not save you.
In Natter, sarameg describes her "safety" plan ...
I would build a semi-adobe, with a tin roof, fill it with books, have a simple outdoor hottub, a wide porch and an internet connection. I'd spend days hiking through the canyons and watching for mountain lions and bear and counting lizards. No idea how I'd pay my bills. I'd learn to rockclimb. I'd drive out of my retreat to visit White Sands on their summer full moon nights. I'd drive up to the ridgeline and watch the approaching summer storms at noon. I'd lie on my back and watch the colors of the stars and galaxies you can see from the ground out there.
