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.

Victor, in Literary:
It was kind of like that famous question, "If you were trapped on a desert island, what book would you want to have with you," only, if you were ever really trapped on a desert island, you'd probably get stuck with, like, Danielle Steel or something. I mean, what are the odds that you'd have the Norton Anthology of World Masterpieces? You'd get cruise ship deck reading trash.
Alibelle: Hi Lori! I'm so happy to hear that you're not above getting lost because if you'll notice the pattern, it's never ME that gets lost...it's the people around me. FOR THE RECORD.
billytea: It's just like Volvo drivers, isn't it? They never have accidents, but they see lots...
Alibelle: That's right. I'm like the Volvo of passengers. But I come with HOV lane privileges. Consider it a gift with purchase.
Allyson in the "Buffy" thread:
I think I threatened ita's life during last season's finale. I think her cell rang during a scene and I actually threatened her life.
This is how seriously I take Buffy. ita could kill me 8 different ways with only her eyelash and a spec of lint, and I think I threatened to beat her to death.
Hm.
Even dissatisfying Buffy is worth certain death, I suppose.
And billytea, in the same thread, for the image it left in my mind:
Takes one last look around. Saddles giant frog, hops off into sunset.
ALLYSON: It's wonderful to be loved. And I never cried about breaking the yellow crayon, though. I just pocketed it and melted it back together on the radiator. Willow was a wimp.
JessiMoon:
Happy Birthday Erika! I was gonna get you a new board, but then ita said that's what she was getting you, so...
Gar and Trudy on my shameful attraction to Kissinger...
Gar/Typo Boy: I kind of get the Kissinger lust. I mean given the Spike lust, and Angelus lust, apparently there is a real attraction to brutal, witty killers.
Trudy: Kissinger's cheek bones are seriously lacking though...
Gar/Typo Boy: Yeah, but maybe his having a much higher kill count than Spike's makes up for it.
Allan Lang:
"I want to show you the world."
Every time I see that I then hear Dawn saying "Giles said pretty much the same thing. Only he used more words that that. And a globe"
HEC: (to Erika) We're just a bunch of obsessive retentive geeks. Besides it's your birthday. You can spread all the lies and misinformation you like. On your birthday, you're like the CIA.
Theodosia: I'm with Angus, which isn't strange because otherwise we're twins in every aspect of our lives. Well, sort of, by which I hardly at all. But I agree with him anyway.
Of course it could be worse, I could be Elizabeth Wurtzel, riding my depression and my tits to publishing stardom.
Erikaj on the pressures of writing.
