'Just Rewards (2)'
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.
In Music:
Alicia K: Dude, I just met Bono. At Starbucks headquarters.
He was at Starbucks having a meeting with The Big Cheese about something. When asked what about, he responded in a very Bono-like fashion: "Revolution is in the air."
tommyrot: Oh, so Bono is going to be involved in the violent overthrow of the U.S. government? Bitchin!
Alicia K: Yes, but the revolution must be well-caffeinated!
Okay, I realize I'm not in that thread anymore, but the harbingers of revolution are meeting at the Starbucks???
Man, and I thought the rioters who looted Starbucks were overrreacting. One would have thought they'd come down on the side of revolution, though. Hmm.
Religious discussion in Bitches:
Mr. Broom:
It's interesting because the Third Commandment specifically mentions keeping the Sabbath holy, and the Sabbath is still Saturday, even if we treat Sunday as a holy day. It's a point of contention among those who enjoy making every little detail of Scripture a point of contention.
Robin:
So you're saying religious folk were the first fandom?
In Lost,
Matt the Bruins Fan: Yet scarily, Susan Hawk lost about 5 lbs. over the entire time she was there. The woman has the metabolism of an ent.
From the new Lost thread:
libkitty:
I also had a glass of wine with dinner, which I am now realizing affected me more than I had thought, 'cause I can't type worth shit right now. I am such a wine wimp.
beathen:
I think you were drinking the "will cause funny typing" kind of wine. It doesn't affect speech, only the fingers. It's also known as the "dyslexic fingers" wine. The warning label reads: "Will cause extreme typing unfriendliness. Do not take before tests, while writing papers or while nattering with the Buffistas."
Polter-Cow speculates on plot developments he'd like to see for Lost:
Someone needs to get scurvy. Just so they can say the word "scurvy."Jack: "She's got scurvy."
Hurley: "What's scurvy, dude?"
Jack: "It results from Vitamin C deficiency."
Shannon: "Vitamin what?"
Hurley: "Well she hasn't been drinking a lot of OJ, man."
Locke: "At first light, we hunt. The OJ sleeps during the day, leaving the pulp to protect the young. The young are the most vulnerable. We need two to distract the pulp and one to fill the glass."
In Bitches:
P-C:
I am at lab, doing a Western.
Trudes:
I know what he's talking about. But it's more fun to picture him and a bunch of other earnest grad students walking around in lab coats and ten gallon hats. "Ain't no man touches my sliiiiiides without hearin' from ol Sabin here" pats gun "there ain't room enough in this lab fer a low down, no good, snake in the grass, MICROSCOPE RUSTLER" One spits chaw, the others throw their bodies over their petri dishes...
Sue:
Next thing you know, I'll find out that Tim is developing an inspirational series about a happy, functional family who sing together by day, and help little old ladies and lost puppies by night. They would fight crime... except there's no crime in their town to fight!
Betsy: If you say it's because Saddam Hussein was evil and oppressed his people (true), then you need to explain why we consider Uzbekistan an ally and a valued member of the Coalition of the Willing. Why invade Iraq instead of Uzbekistan?
Nutty: Uzbekistan is harder to spell. Therefore, it was spared our righteous wrath.
Cindy, your Beverly is actually Betsy.
They look so similar in this light. Thanks, Dana.
