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.
Damn, Kristin, could you add an "is" in between "this" and "your". I'm going to edit my original.
Also, since Kristin was too modest to add her own addition:
There are pre-teens hitting puberty
instead of hitting balls,
They're busy doing make-up,
and cruising through the malls,
There's stubble on every boy now
Oh I can't believe my eyes,
They can feel it in their boners,
Even though they're mini sized...
Things are getting desperate in Shrift's office:
Printer still spewing. Paper so hot in the tray it burns my fingers. Toner beginning to fail.
In Natter:
Cashmere: Aren't all chaps assless? Otherwise, wouldn't they be pants?
Jesse: I think you only call chaps "assless" when there are no jeans under them.
Cashmere: Of course, in that case, there is ASS! The term is verra misleading.
In Bitches, on the word "problematized":
Gloomcookie
What a great Friday! I just got this feedback on a presentation I did in class (appropriately enough on tagging, blogs, wikis, and participation inequality [thanks, Jessica!]):
Looking at my notes, you did very well. You brought in outside readings, engaged the readings, problematized the topic, and provided good analysis. We don't have hard-coded grades yet, but based on my notes, you received high marks.
ChiKat
Is this a real word??vw bug
Yup.Gloomcookie
From Websters: To propose problems.Topic!Cindy
It's no woobify.ChiKat
Woobify is a perfectly fine word. Problematized hurts my head.
Ginger
So is "solutionatize" a word?
Steph L.
Sounds perfectly cromulent to me.
Polter-Cow
If you're not a part of the solution, you're a part of the precipitatizing.
tommyrot on the ultimate voting machine: It could only be improved if each voting machine came with a monkey that started shrieking once you placed your vote.
Topic!Cindy And risk his voice before he delivered his acceptance speech?
Allyson (who needs context?)
He has socks and underpants?
What the hell else is there to do? Are you knitting him a bike?
ita: It's possible I shouldn't see documentaries recommended by vegans.
Teppy, in Bitches:
I just answered a question about Catholic paraphernalia, and then a pony play question.
There's something so deeply wrong about that.
And so wonderfully right.
From Natter: Don't let a question go unasked--especially when shrift and coffee are involved.
shrift:
Now I have coffee in my eye.
Steph:
....how?
shrift:
A rogue droplet of coffee forced itself out of the tiny little airhole in the lid and vengefully flung itself into my eye, howling, "FREEEEEEEEDOM!"
Cass: I am unsure on the chile, chili, chilly (okay, that's not right) spelling conventions and I am way too attached to dying on the couch to check.
