'Get It Done'
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 the Minearverse:
Cashmere:
I love saying Ypsilanti out loud.
shrift:
And isn't it the Ypsilanti water tower that looks like a giant penis?
Cashmere:
How do I have relatives there and NOT know about the penis???
Aimee:
Your current state would say otherwise, Cash.
Cashmere:
Hee. This is true. Everytime I go into a bar and the server asks me if I want a drink I say, "That's what got me into this in the first place." I never get tired of it.
Susan W. in Great Write, on the effects of enforced bedrest due to late pregnancy on her get-up-and-go:
Basically, I've just turned into a remarkably lazy woman--it's like I quit being driven cold turkey.

I went through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to get out from the rain.
Actually...the horse was named "Irwin", but he would bite
And kick when I called him that and I didn't want to
Be bitten and kicked. But one day I was really thirsty
And there wasn't any frickin' rain so I
Killed Irwin and drank his blood and made horse-meat steaks.
Or something.
DX in The Minearverse (or should we just rename it Natter?):
Thomash:
As I understand it, there is supposedly a Springfield in every state.
Can anyone confirm that?
DX:
Nope. No Springfield in Rhode Island.
(Unless I've been pronouncing Usquepaug wrong...)
Sue, the 'Unknown Buffista' was Thomash.
Matt the Bruins fan, explaining about board in-speak "Bob Likes Carrots":
Right, it has applications other than spousal. For example, [Rant-inducing co-worker's daughter] likes carrots, because she cannot say two sentences in a conversation that's not strictly about work details without relating whatever the subject is back to her daughter.
I'm tempted to scour the news for articles about bestiality convictions to spark a conversation and see just how pronounced this effect is.
Hec: What do we call Ohio cities with unfortunate germanic tendencies?
Teppy: Der Zinzinnati, baby. We gots the best of the wurst.
Thanks Nilly!
Beth B in Minearverse:
I saw Waterworld in a theater where the popcorn machine caught on fire. Amazingly - most of the people went back in to see the end.
Allyson:
How does something like Glitter happen? I mean, hundreds and hundreds of people had to agree with each other to make it happen, right? Someone had to pony up money, write a script, hire a director, find actors, and fluff Mariah. No one, not one little voice said, "this blows?"
Matt the Bruins fan:
I think she temporarily shorted out their brains by singing a note that only dogs on speed could hear, and everyone just nodded blankly and went along with it.
