And to make it a trilogy, right after Hec's quote:

DXMachina: That's what happens when you always go with the low bidder.
Madrigal Costello: I can just see all those Imperial workers slacking off, spending their days nattering online about whatever passed for Buffy in their day, since it was a very long time ago, I suspect they had a primitive version of the show.

And MM with the follow up...

Something like "B'oofah the Jedi Slayer".

And the nattering would be something like. "I can't believe Jo'ss is having B'oofah sleep with that soulless Jedi. That's so lame. What about Anjell? B'oofahnAnjell4rceEvah!!!!11!!!!"

The more I think about it, the more I think we need the whole thing.

Ling Mao: ita, you rock!

PMM: she's not a rock, she's a moon!

Miracleman: That's no moon...that's a space station!

Sorry. Sorry. Geek reflex. Sorry.

shrift: But ita is so the Death Star!

Madrigal Costello:

Which one? The first one which blew up if someone just leaned on it too hard, or the second that was capable of mass destruction even with a big piece missing, and required the death of several ewoks to destroy?

[edited for attributions]

Betsy, the first one of your '??'s was Ling Mao (well, specifically in this case - pretty much any of us said it one time or other or constantly), and the second was PMM.

And, again, from "Firefly", without the context:

Theodosia: I was onboard with Betsy for the Hyena Train.

Betsy Hanes Perry: This is the Hyena Laughter train, not the Hyena Sex train, right?
checks ticket nervously

Aimee: No! Never! See, one of my "things" is I am a HUGE HUGE HUGE animal person.

Billytea: Then rhino's definitely the way to go. You'll have to promise to clean up after it, though. Trust me on this - there's a reason "I'll clean up after your pet rhino" never makes it into the wedding vows. Some things are just too far above and beyond the call.

Shawn: I guess I have to pass the bar instead of repeatedly going inside, don't I?

FayJay, brushing up her Chaucer in Firefly:

iirc, The Knight's Tale involves two knights who both fall in love with the same girl. I seem to remember that they were imprisoned in a tower, or something, and they both saw her and fell in love with her. And one of them escaped and one of them didn't. And it all went a bit pear-shaped, or something. Huh. But maybe I'm mixing it up with one of the other tales. Hmm.

The Miller's Tale's Fair Alysoun, however, I remember quite vividly - the business of the love-struck geekboy kissing her nether lips 'full savourly' in the mistaken belief that it was her mouth, and then gradually thinking "Hmm... hang on, girls don't have beards....eeew! Eeeew! Nether kissage!" She got to have lots of great sex and not get punished for it at all, although Handy Nicholas, the student/lodger she was shagging, did get a red hot poker up the arse. But then he did fart in someone's face, which is jolly rude in the FayJay Book of Etiquette, so hot pokers were only to be expected. Um.

....from which we learn that in terms of memorability it's Cheap Pube Jokes 1, Tragic Tales of Courtly Love 0.

Hil R: I just saw a poster trying to recruit "outgoing young women" as football recruitment hostesses, AKA Bayou Belles. The whole "recruitment hostess" thing bugs me.

Jesse: You know, a friend of mine from high school did that informally when she was in college. I just thought she was slutty.

Dana in Natter:

Mmm. Doughnuts. I could totally go for a doughnut. Or the still-beating heart of my idiot coworker.

Rob, natter:

And I was surprised that Bauer killed the feebs' witness

Not only killed him, but apparently planned to cut off his head with a hacksaw.

Every time I do that at work I get scolded.
