Buffistas

No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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.

If I only had a brain...

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.

[edit: I mean, I'd still be willing to, just...you know...feh. Writing good not when words make sense no.]

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Porn is like Christmas morning. You always know it's coming but it still manages to surprise you when it gets here.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

I think, Madrigal, but I'm not sure:

Once again, all roads lead back to Joss' anger at not getting laid in high school.

victor:

Really, this is the source of most contemporary art. Except we like to call it "post-Modernism".

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

From Buffy:

ALLYSON: No way! No one buttered that cross. He was like a scrambled egg on a barbecue grill. That cross will have to be soaked in detergent for like, DAYS to get the seered Spike skin off it.

PMM: That's what Dawn is for.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think, Madrigal, but I'm not sure:

Twas me.

What could possibly have enough HoYay! to require Due South as a preparatory step? I've got gay porn that doesn't sell the pairing that convincingly.
