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.
Allyson in Bureacracy. This wouldn't be too hard to code up, would it?
Hm. Can we maybe do that Amazon thing where we can make recommendations? Like, "if you like posts by Rio, you may also like posts by msbelle."
Similarly, "if you have Allyson blocked, you may also want to block Kat."
Also in Bureaucracy:
Aimee: If this weren't a kerfuflle
Tom Scola: It's a kerfauxfle.
Billytea in F2F: Super Porny Pants, starting with something coy since... Oh, since she started arranging her men in order of coyness.
In Firefly:
Steph L.:
The CHUD have a foundation now? I didn't even know they had TV....
Are they stealing the Morlocks' cable?
tommyrot:
Yes, by using their trained sewer alligators to bite off the Morlocks' cables and drag them to the CHUD saunas.
Steph:

Do they have a health plan now?
tommyrot:
Unfortunately, they still feed their sick and injured to the alligators.
Steph:
Well, that *is* a plan, of sorts. Not a good plan, but a plan nonetheless.
And also, it's better than my HMO.
More from Bureaucraxy, which brought the funny today:

brenda m: Only if it's all whitefont, all the time.

In Natter:
Trudy Booth:
"I think that part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought," Bush said. "You're asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas, the answer is yes."
That is FANTASTIC news!
It's the end of Abstainance Only sex ed, right?
Nutty in natter, and who needs context? Not us:
2. People who believe that major corporations would actually put "devil worship" in a line-item budget need to be beaten with an old-time mechanical calculator. You put that expense under "Travel and Entertainment."
Jesse -
Oh totally -- practically everything in the world is too complex for the layperson to understand. Electricity? MAGIC! Television? TINY PEOPLE IN A BOX!
amych -
Not just tiny people, Jesse. Elves in a box.
Jesse -
Wow, those are elves? They look just like regular people, only little. Huh.
