'A Hole in the World'
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.
From Natter:
billytea: If I ever get a cat I want to name it Monoxide. I think this is one of the reasons Bec won't agree to getting a cat.
DXMachina: My friend Tom used to have a dog named Carbon.
billytea: I think we can all be grateful that it will never mate with my hypothetical cat.
In Literary:
Angus G: Just don't get me started on why we should all learn to say "homodiegetic" and "heterodiegetic" instead of "first-person" and "third-person".
erikaj: Whoa, Angus! You are hard-core!
Jess PMoon: swoon
Steph L: You know how people are ashamed of their past as prostitutes who whored for drugs? I'm ashamed of my past reading badly written end-times books.
John H:
Completely random post, but did anyone see an article which stated scientifically that redheaded people are more sensitive to pain?
Professor [mumble] of [mumble] University, who's professor of Anesthesiology, tested people and found that given the same pain stimulus (any excuse to administer electric shocks to undergraduates, eh?) redheads needed twenty per cent more anesthetic before they no longer felt it.
I read that and I was all THANK YOU!
Now it's offical.
Instead of people saying "oh for god's sake stop whining John you are such a fucking baby!", perhaps they'll say something more like "oh for god's sake stop whining John you are genetically such a fucking baby".
Jess PMoon, on rival cellphone commercials:
I just want to see the Sprint guy and the Verizon guy get into a fistfight...
"Can you hear me NOW, bitch???"
Madrigal, Natter:
My problem wouldn't probably be that it was phone sex, but more that it was probably really boring mundane phone sex. During my first semester in the dorms, a girl in the room next to mine had a bf she was quite fond of, and often, and usually around midnight, but the major annoyance was the fact that she only used two words to express this. I kept wanting to shove a smutty vocabulary book under her door.
from BBaBB:

When the revolution comes, I don't want to be shot.
Jon B
Fair enough. I can relate. I don't want you shot either.
ita
Good. Because I was thinking of standing behind you.
Betsy, in Natter:
Any moment now, Shrift will start writing G&G slash.
Gallant always uses a condom.
Goofus goes into public restrooms and takes on all comers with bloodplay.
I think that was my first COMM quote! Even though it was as the straight man, I'm still all choked up.
I find that hard to believe, Jon. That it's your first COMM.
