ita, in Buffista technology. It made me laugh because I have no idea what it means.
I think Shrift's PDFs are TIFFs in a PDF wrapper, which means Google will have no more luck than she will -- it'd be like trying to text index a GIF.
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

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.

Emily:
I'm thinking contract marriages are the way to go, myself. Like, sign up for one or two years and reevaluate at the end of that time.
ita:
sign up for one or two years and reevaluate at the end of that time.
Renegotiation is key.
And there could be signing bonuses, and vesting and stuff.
Ken Buddha:
But unless there's a cap George Steinbrenner will buy all the good marriages.

Billytea talking about odd use of a pronoun as a name in Natter:
"Ok, we just fill out this form and we're done. First name?"
"'I'."
"We need the full name, I'm afraid."
"That is my full name."
"...Seriously? Just 'I'? Damn, that must've been tough when you were growing up. I mean, I had enough trouble just being called Winston. ...Anyway. Middle name?"
"Claudius."

Childhood punishments in Bitches, and why Jilli is Jilli:
Jillie: When I was about 11, I did something so horrible (and now, of course, can't remember what it was) that my mom confiscated every single book in my room and told me that until I finished reading Gone with the Wind, I wasn't getting any of my books back. I was a fantasy/horror genre snob; and hated every minute of it.
connie: did you finish GWTW, Jilli?
Aimee: 10 kittens says she finished it AND liked it.
Jilli: Finished it, and did a book report for English class on it that went along the lines of "Hated the book. Scarlett is whiny, Melanie is whiny, and the story would have been much better if Ashley returned from the war as a zombie."

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Kristen displays her (ab)use of power in the Minearverse thread:
Tim Minear: msbelle, that is a great idea! I'm passing it along to Sandy Grushow now.
Oh, wait, uh, or whoever is in charge now.
Kristen: Gail Berman. You want her home number?
Tim Minear: Back away from the Network President's home phone number... nothing to see here. Move along.
Kristen: I would like to state for the record that I have never actually called a network president, except when authorized by my former employer.
Any pizzas that Sandy Grushow may or may not have received in December of 2002 were merely a fluke coincidence.
Allyson: Pizzas? I sent Reavers. Hence, his leaving.
victor infante: And for those of you who DIDN'T think Kristen was the most dangerous woman in Hollywood...
Kristen: Hey, I didn't run over Ben Affleck the other day. Though it was tempting.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Minearverse. Political Economy. Ferrets.
Typo Boy: Heinlein makes it clear that business (and family) are the source of all that is good in the worlds; politics is a dirty business that may be neccesary, but should never be encouraged. It is an idea that I consider insane, but I think it is too much at the core of what makes Moon a great book to change.
Ferret Liberation Osomething: We always saw it as the power of the individual over group mentality with a bias towards meritocracy (with admittedly Mary Sue/Stus galore), but we were impressionable kits at the time and may need to go back and revisit the book once we finish 'How to Be Evil Overlords for Fun & Profit'. We admit a certain bias towards taking over from an existing heirarchy. Also - throwing large rocks! How cool is throwing large rocks from space!
Amych: TB, you realize you're arguing political economy with a pack of ferrets bent on world domination, yes?
FLO: We're fixed. Leave us to our simple pleasures.
