'Sleeper'
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.
Fay: JKR said in her recent interview that she just cavalierly killed off Harry's grandparents, 'cause they were extraneous to the story. (She wanted her protagonist to be all alone in the world, with only the 'orrible Dursleys looking after him.)
She aspires to be Tim, I think.
DebetEsse: Tim kills people off for effect. This was just expediency.
Cindy: I have run across fewer craxy agnostics
Jessica: I now have a burning desire to stand on the streetcorner screaming "ACCEPT AMBIGUITY INTO YOUR POSSIBLY EXISTENT SOUL!!!!"
I am the unknown Buffista
t Lights a pyre for Cindy
Rick:
I often wonder why Biblical literalists aren't surprised that the book is so confusing and contradictory. I mean, would a supreme being really have such a limited grasp of rhetoric? If the Bible was written by God, then we can all be grateful that God never took a job writing technical manuals or instructions for programing VCRs.
On the ethics of cloning, in Bitches:
tommyrot: What would happen if you went to a dog-cloning company and said, "Here's my dog's blood - please clone it," only you give them human blood?
Fay: Wow.
The world's first honest-to-god human son of a bitch.
(I read that as "the ethics of cloning Bitches." Maybe I should ingest some caffeine STAT.)
Frankenbuddha: Despite Dork!Angel and Googoogahgah!Angel, it's always going to be a fact that Angel with a soul locked a bunch of humans in with a couple of vampires and let them get slaughtered. Damn, I miss my shows.
connie neil: He has his foibles. He doesn't much like lawyers, and at the heart of him, he's not a very nice guy, especially when you fuck with him.
billytea: As Buffy found out to her regret.
Cass: I've been riding English since getting back to it.
I grew up more Westen (for lessons) and bareback (what I ended up riding most of the time recreationally) but English seemed logical if I ever want to get back to the bareback.
Tried a hunt saddle last week which was waaaay better for the way I apparently ride. Felt a little like I was getting pitched forward today. It's this weird combination of total muscle memory and occasionally having no clue what I am doing. Posting thoughtfully combines the two.
sarameg: I have a head cold. You know, one of those things where your soft palate (I think that's the term) feels swollen and one sinus is upset, but it manages to make you eyes water and the muscles in your neck hurt? yeah that.
I get on a plane tomorrow. To go infect relatives, apparently.
