'Hell Bound'
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.

mmm, cannoli. I completely understand why mobsters pause in whacking for those.
Liese S.:
My generation has already passed its hip tie-in merchandising phase. Won't be long until we're out of the target demographic. Then we'll just have to get on with our sorry apathetic lives and lie in the gutter with a surly but amusing expression on our faces.
My wife...I hope she keeps me:

Shawn:
shrift is very photogenic, particularly when she smile-scowls at the camera. We shall call it smowls.
In Natter, after Amych's upthread query re: speed of -ma:
Emily:It is of course notoriously difficult to measure the effects or time-to-impact of -ma, since once the need for -ma is observed the observer is immediately involved in the -ma process.
Nilly: Schrodinger's -ma, of course - once you notice it, you change it.
Gus: We posit that "Good" and "Bad" are two states applicable to –ma and karmic fields. The states are mutually repellent (possibly due to anti-charm). Therefore, good-ma propagates less freely in a bad-karma field. As Emily notes, the good/bad state of the observer may also enter into the describing mathematics.
Cathching up in Natter ...
Toddson: LA-istas, any advice for surviving a grocery strike? we're due for one March 30. le sigh ....

Java Cat: Eros & Psyche, Bauchis & Philomon, and I loved Apollo's sun.
Cass: I am going to shower and change out of my cranky pants into something a little friendlier.
NoiseDesign: Leather, and stockings, and...
Oh wait, sorry, the voices in my head won out for a minute.
More of the Cass and NoiseDesign show, in Bitches:
Cass: What is the appropriate sacrifice for a computer? I never can recall.
NoiseDesign: You have to tie it to an inverted cross and then dance around it naked under a full moon.
Cass: No goats? I thought there were goats...
NoiseDesign: Not since we moved to multithreaded operating systems.
Skyzy in Natter:
I hate to admit, but I was Milton from Office Space at my last company. We kept downsizing and each time we would downsize, I would get moved to a farther corner of the office, away from everyone. Each time I would leave on a business trip, I would come back to find my stapler gone.
And, I had been laid off a year prior to me actually leaving the company (when they finally "fixed the glitch"). Even still, after they laid me off officially, the second time, I got a call from the company asking why I hadn't been to work in over a month and why I still hadn't accepted their job offer (which they sent the week after I was laid off to the office where I no longer worked).
