From Buffy 1, non-spoilery:

Jen: I suspect many people I know and consider dear friends will end up in hell along with me, which might make it bearable.

Emily: Oh, yeah. Almost everyone I've ever met, in fact, and probably heaven'd be kind of boring. It's just, I'm not sure how much company y'all are gonna be when we're, like, writhing in a lake of fire.

On the other hand, I bet the devil can quote shooting scripts.

dareva:But they'll be from really horrible episodes.

Jess PMoon: And only Riley's lines.

In Buffy, unspoilery:

Jen: I'll be surprised if I meet a maker, any maker, on the event of my death.

Betsy: With my luck, it'll be FrameMaker. "Unresolved cross reference in Betsy at age 21."

Buffy 1 is comedy gold today:

Miracleman: If the Pope is right, I still ain't goin' to Hell. Nope, I'm gonna distract the guard, slip out of line and catch a taxi to Valhalla.

'Cause those fuckers know how to par-tay!!

Nutty: Yeah, right up until you have to get chopped up on the battlefield every day. I mean, every day? Couldn't you practice your Ragnarok skills on weekends, and just drink and eat and watch soap operas during the week?

Miracleman: There's a trick to that, too. Volunteer as quartermaster.

Nutty: They also serve who only stand and hand out dinner?

In Bitches:

Teppy: Mocking my secret boyfriend! For shame...

billytea: Hey, I say it with the deepest concern. Gandhi had similar issues. Of course, he never reacted by swapping faces with John Travolta and killing all the witnesses.

(Hee. Now I'm imagining a Gandhi remake by John Woo. ...And now, E.T. by Quentin Tarantino. *sigh* I really should get back to work, shouldn't I?)

erika: Yes! And ease up on the caffeine too, I think. :)

David S:

I swear to god, it is the most important thing to know before you get to Paris. Wear Your Good Shoes.

I wore sneakers for two days and got treated like an American. I put on my good shoes and local french-type peoples were asking me for directions. In French. I shrugged and made the French-shrugging face.

Hec in Angel:

Jesus, didn't they learn anything from having SuperPoweredGlory on Buffy? It makes for a terrible villain and it's not even a little scary. They'll either destroy its power center or cobble together the magic recipe: "I found the magic spoon which can scoop out its eyes!" "I've got the nasal inhaler of death!" "I shall deliver the coup de grace with this magically enhanced celery stick!" "All together now, attack in a close formation and make sure you apply each element in precisely the proper order. Ready...set...Lorne start singing!"

Billytea in Buffy:

Wow, you guys got chatty. Behold the meara of God.

The religious talk in the Buffy thread takes a turn:

billytea: Australia, BTW, is nominally Christian - we have no First Amendment, the Anglican Church is technically the State religion - but really it's a nation of pagans. Specifically, sun-worshippers.

BHP: So, slip,slop, and slather is a heresy promoted by the State?

Laura: I could be a sun worshipper

Tom Scola: (Going back to my old tagline) Hurray for the Sun God, he sure is a fun god, Ra!Ra!Ra!

(That last bit is why I love this place. I don't think anybody I know locally would even get that joke.)

Betsy in Buffy, nonspoilery:

Right after the Gulf War started, I dragged the atheist husband to a Unitarian service, because I felt the need of some spiritual comfort.

I got a white guy playing a marimba solo in honor of Martin Luther King Day.

John H, harking back to online battles of the past:

I'm mentally captaining a firefly-class starship called "The Great Buffy Gerund Debate of 2002".
