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.

Tommyrot: Well in America you're free to buy fruit and do whatever you want with it in the privacy of your home.
(Except, you know, use fruit to commit murder or other crimes of violence. Or, um, use fruit to print money. Or write state secrets on fruit and scan the fruit into a computer and email the image to foreign powers.)
Heh. It's tommyroll for brunch then?
Yes! I pull off the COMM hat trick. Or 3-peat. Or something.
Anyway, it's cool.
A discussion in Literary.
msbelle: Can someone give a short definition of southern gothic?
how about midwestern gothic?
Polter-Cow: Incest. Lots of incest.
Lilty Cash: This is horrible, but all that I can imagine is that couple standing in front of the farmhouse with the pitchfork.
Fred Pete: how about midwestern gothic? Like Southern Gothic, but people pronounce their r's.
Vortex: - dysfunctional. lots of family secrets, usually involving affairs and/or illegitimate children and/or incest (or all three). Lots of sneaking around in the kudzu and the sounds of crickets in the darkness. At some point, someone sits in a rocking chair on a porch and fans themselves.
juliana: - Can someone give a short definition of southern gothic? Spooooky, y'all.
edit: Thank goodness Vortex came in with an actual definition. :)
So, like Eugene O'Neill, but with more lurking?
My first foray into COMM:
Gus (in Natter):
Here is the thing about grass skirts for men who are long of limb. Since the skirt comes to about mid-thigh, you are convinced that any unfortunate posture will reveal your Johnson.* Any man who really does have "Oh, my mid-thigh is showing, thus my Johnson" problems in real life should report to Porn Central for immediate employment.
I need to add the * explanation for the above..
*completely evitable digression number #45609: Why is a man's member commonly given a euphemism that sounds vaguely English in origin? Mine is not in the least bit mannered, overly polite, or reticent.
Same message from Gus in Natter.
Bitches, discussing Black Canary's cry:
Cabil: A sonic cry, a high decibel sound set at the frequency to upset the human nervous system.
billytea: It's pretty easily upset. It is, after all, a nervous system.

non-spoilery about the Angel finale:
Am in fact broken by tv. But good broken. In a horrible way.
Joss, as expected, you've paper-cut me, poured salt in the wound, gave me an indian burn, paddled my ass, and pushed me face down in the mud.
Thank you sir, may I have another?
Vortex in Natter:
The UPS and FedEx guys at the same time are a lucky happenstance. The copier repairman makes it officially porn.
Funny in context, even better without.
Frankenbuddah: You'd think Wesley would have stolen a copy of the Evil Overlord guide during his time at W & H. (vaguely spoilery for Angel finale)
