Riley ,'Lessons'
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.
JZ, in Angel, leveling the Buffista Curse on a dissenter:
All right. THAT IS IT. You, young lady, can go straight to Worldcrossing on a HostRocket server, and you can sit there and think about what you've just said, and not come back until you're able to post like a civilized human being.
Am-Chau in Fan Fiction:
Bow before Google and my incessent curiosity. Fandom is always a learning experience. Okay, sometimes the lesson is "you have a knowledge addiction", but that doesn't seem to stop me coming back for more.
In Bitches,
Beverly: Evangelista with a blowdryer in Deb's dining room!
Ginger: That sounds like a new version of Clue.
My statement was a lot more ambiguous before I edited.
NoiseDesign:
I hope the settling in goes well for you. And that bubble gum chewing llama's don't haunt your days.
billytea:
The male hooded seal, during mating season, blows the lining of his nose out like a balloon and waves it around to attract attention. I think it's supposed to be intimidating. (And let's be honest, you'd think twice before approaching someone doing this.) This is what the llama looks like it's doing. Only it could just inflate the lining halfway, and it just looks a bit pathetic, like a balloon when it's lost most of its air and it's getting all pinched and wrinkled.
Where was I going with this? Oh yes. It's not the days that worry me. Especially since my reading matter is mostly Doctor Who books at the moment.
Victor offers a suggestion in FF:
This thread could be mathier. There should be more math.
Tommyrot obliges via crosspost.
It's been so long since I've studied this... but if you look at ∞ as a limit, then ∞/∞ could be a non-infinite number, depending on what the limit is. For example, the lim x²/x as x→∞ is ∞, but the lim x/x as x→∞ =1.
Victor Infante: I stand corrected.
ETA: -t's coup de grace:
Just trying to live up to the thread title.
Also in FF:
Narrator: ARRRGH!! Call out the Marines!! They're using the Weapons of Math Destruction!!!
Betsy: Finally, a question I can answer.
DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES FOR SUCCESS IN THE MINIATURE CATTLE BUSINESS?Hec: Betsy can totally do this. First, she borrows a cowboy hat from Jesse. Second, she brings billytea in to set up a breeding program. She's got teams of actuaries on hand to project earnings. And look how happy she is to handle a functional cattle prod.
beth b in Bitches:
both my cat and my DH think I should go to bed. the fact that I want to say "you're not the boss of me" makes me think that they might be right.
In Bitches, beathen in response to Ginger saying "Sugar is my art":
Sugar is your art. You make cookies and cakes with your hands, day after day. That final chocolate chip. That look of perfection. Part of you is desperate to know: What's it taste like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the nuts you didn't throw in or the vanilla you didn't include. Every Buffista... has a sugar wish.
