Jess PMoon in Natter:
I can never tell who's on the phone and who's talking to themselves. "Schizophrenic or hands-free-cell-phone?" is the new "Gay or Eurotrash?"
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.

Curse you wee Dana!
Beat me to it!

Rick V. In Minearverse:
For one paper it was more than rejection, they actively hated it. As I was reading the reviews my colleague, who is also an author on the paper, came into my office with his copy of the reviews. We did the usual damage control: the reviewers are biased; the editor is a dinosaur who wouldn't recognize good work if it bit him in the ass; we'll send it to another journal and they'll love it. Then, for some reason, I said "Besides, the lurkers support us in e-mail." My colleague backed slowly out of the room. The Buffistas are a very bad influence.
For the record, Dana, Anne W, and Betsy HP beat me to it!

Well, now he knows. Clearly, I was whispering in italics and here you go with a normally weighted font. Why don't you just bold it next time.

We'd have found Osama bin Laden by now if Vanderbilt thought there was any chance he might donate.
And you know it isn't just Vandy.
