People, never clean your ears with cigarette butts. You will NEVER get to Paris that way.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cindy, responding to Allyson in Minearverse:
There's a message from Tim describing The Inside on FOX's official site for The Inside.
Unfortunately, it's written by some guy named Tim Minnear.
Oh good. Now I can stop with the stopping before I say his name aloud, just to make sure I'm remembering the long i. I vote we change his name to Minnear, officially.
Next, all the Alisons, Allisons, and Alysons (sorry, Ms. Hannigan) have to change the spelling of their names to Allyson, because it is the spelling I now best remember.
Kristin has to change her name to Kristen. I don't know how we'll distinguish between you, but that's best left for another day.
All the Megan-Meaghan type people have to settle on both the way to spell and pronounce their name.
I'm changing Sunil's name to Sam. Sorry, P-C.
There shall be no more Cyndis out there, and the girl Sydneys are gone, too (I'm looking at you, JG).
All parents desiring to name a daughter Julie will have to name them Julia, but are free to call them Julie, as a dim.
Lori, I'm sorry, but you just became a Laura, and your lori is now Laurie.
We can have two Catherine type names, one for the C people, and one for the K people, but there must be uniformity amongst them.
There will be no Jeffreys. Your formal name is Geoffrey, like Chaucer, although you are free to use Jeff as a nickname.
Furthermore, all the Joshuas must abandon Josh as a nick, because it's too close to Joss, and I can no longer say Josh. Yes, I know Whedon's given name is Joseph. No, I don't care. Strike back. Call yourselves Joe.
People on this board who use real sounding names, which are not their actual names, must go to the courts to apply for a legal name change. I'm looking at you, Trudy Booth.
S-E-A-N is the only acceptable spelling for the name Sean.
J-O-H-N is the only acceptable spelling for the name John.
J-O-N-A-T-H-A-N is the only acceptable spelling for Jonathan.
Finally...nah. She can kill me with her pinky.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Lyra Jane, in Movies:
"Lawrence of Arabia" didn't do anything for me: my memory of it is basically "desert ... desert ... homoeroticism ... desert ... zzzzzz."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Rio in Natter:
I for one would like to hear someone in an office get all pissed off and just yell, to the heavens, VAGINA BOJANGLER, EXCEL CRASHED AGAIN!

Tim in Minearverse, discovering he can do something other than kill off characters:
My days on "Buffy" will always be special to me.
Wow, that sounded porny

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Betsy beholds the power of Google in Minearverse : Speak no ill of Google in my presence for lo, they are wise and inevitable.
