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.
Shrift:
It went something like this:
Betsy: ...the rhetorical term for the part used to represent the whole.
Me: I know that word. It's -- <mem-fault>
Word: <poof>
Me: Crap. Okay. It sounds like... Mnah mnah?
A Mighty Fortress Is Our Google: Metonymy
Me: Closer than the Swedish Chef, yet not quite the thing with the thing what means the thing. Bork bork bork!
A Mighty Fortress Is Our Google: Synecdoche.
Me: My English degree is ashamed to be seen in public with me now, isn't it.
From the Minearverse:
Someone or Other: Does anyone know what gender is trying to save Enterprise?
Allyson: Hermaphodites. I dunno. Is someone trying to save it? Why?
On the serface, it's just a wholesome conversation about veggies. But then, it is Bitches...
Hec (continuing his crusade to get us to eat more veggies, to meara): The chart indicates that if you continue this trend, and Sean continues on his trend...you're going to be the Least Healthy Eater Here.
Sean: It probably helps that the gf is a vegetarian.
t /gf likes carrots
Teppy: Ladies and gentlemen, witness the first known legitimate use for "[person] likes carrots"!
Sean: Seriously. She's big on the tubers.
Teppy: You've been *waiting* to say that, haven't you?
Hec: The question is...yams or fingerlings?
Teppy: It's not the size of your tuber; it's how you serve it.
(Not mashed, one would hope.)
Sean:
You've been *waiting* to say that, haven't you?
What? No. No. No.
Yes.
The question is...yams or fingerlings?
That's a bit personal, don't you think?
Hec: You're the one who said she liked carrots. We're just trying to determine if she's a nibbler through a bag of baby carrots, or somebody who prefers a hearty, organic root vegetable that could really flavor a stock.
I was the someone or other, victor.
...and an oldie but goodie makes a return to natter:
Shrift:
I have a depressingly huge amount of work to do today. And yet, here I am, posting.
DX:
Well, yeah. We've got homosexual duck necrophilia here. What's better than that?
Shrift:
Well, the homosexual necrophiliac duck could answer my voicemail, for starters.
tommyrot:
"Aflac! Got any dead ducks?"
eta:
Your search - "gay Aflac duck" - did not match any documents.
From over in Bitches:
Aimée: You are so vanilla. :)
connie neil : Best flavor in the world, baybee. Subtle and rich and complex and doesn't need any caramel sauce, whipped cream, and nuts, etc., to give it flavor. It's out there in the world saying, "Trust me, you're not up to me."
In Natter:
Dana:
Where exactly did this conversation go off the rails?
Shrift:
B: "Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Pinky?"
P: "I think so, Brain, but where are we gonna find line-dancing camels at this time of night?"
In Natter:
Heather Alayne: Why am I feeling like such a bitch today?
Sean K: presents Heather with a nice, tailored, Some Days The Humans They Just Bug The Fuck Out Of Us And Must All Be Painfully Killed club jacket
Heather Alayne: sighs heavily and puts on the goddamned jacket
NoiseDesign: I've got that in a t-shirt.
In Natter --
tommyrot: I have heard that every 200 millilon years there's a giant eruption from the Yellowstone Park area that pretty much wipes out all life on North America. We are overdue for one of these. If this happens we'll have to do a watch and post. (Although it would probably just be a bunch of people going, "Are you dead yet?")
In Natter:
DavidS: Yeowtch! Just gave myself a file folder cut that's bleeding everywhere. No bandaids so I've had to Macgyver it with a napkin and tape.
tommyrot: But on the plus side, you can now use your finger to crack a safe.
