'The Message'
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.
Emily, in Bitches:
I used to write angry notes on tiny scraps of paper and throw them down the stairs at my mother: "I hate you" "You're so mean" "It's totally unfair and you are too" and the like. My mother seems to have valued it as a commitment to literacy and kept them.
lisah, in Natter:
this afternoon is dragging like RuPaul in her heydey.
Polter-Cow - I eat bird and fish.
Jon B. - But no mammals?
Polter-Cow - No mammals. Except for rabbit and kangaroo, that one time.
Emily - At the same time? Were you stranded in the Australian outback?
megan walker - Or Hundred Acre Wood?
Damn, MM beat me to it.
In Buffistechnology:
Sean K: Also, GC, I am so with you on the iPhone UI *LOVE*. As long as I have any kind of pokey appendage, I can use my iPhone. *LOVE*!
NoiseDesign:

amych:
But you'd need two pokey appendages to do a lot of the cool UI tricks.

in Beauracracy because it must be immortalized. stompies having fun.
libkitty: I just step away from the board for a bit (a big bit, but who's counting) and when I come back, all the names are just a bit...off. Must be an alternate universe.
billytea: You came back wrong!
Glamcookie: Welcome back, labkitty!
KristinT: Could someone change my name to libkitten?
Jessica: I propose that the Stompies change everyone's name by one letter every six months, just to keep us on our toes. Someone should probably write a script to automate that.
Kevin: Just make everybody's name an anagram, rotated once a month. It would keep us on our toes.
DXMachina: Don't mess with the stompies...
Jossica: Bwahahaha!
Aims: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Nevik: Hah!
Oddly, I like this name more.
Austin: Hee! That brightened my morning.
Sox: mine too!
Sean K: Dare I inquire as to who might be next?
Sean K: Sox, I'd be careful how much you say the name changes brightened your morning.
There's only one vowel in your board name, and, well...
Possibly I am just punch-drunk, but the following, by Jessica, vague enough not to need whitefont from the spoiler thread, describes a great many internet reviews:
"[gushy expression of Josslove], nevertheless [obligatory disclaimer re: rational level of hopefulness], but thankfully [OMGSQUEE! JOSS SHITS GOLD BRICKS!!!!]"
I need to immortalize this accidental juxtaposition, because it made laugh and laugh.
Flea, in literary, talking about someone else, but posting right after several posts about a review of Hec's book:
He's speaking here next week. My book club read the book - inspirational, but also, the dude is a little nuts. I mean, I think it's irresponsible to marry and have a child if you live like that.
Look out, there's bandom in the Music thread:
SA: I can look at a hipster kid, an emo kid, and a goth kid and definitely tell the difference.
tommyrot: More importantly, who would win in a fight?
SA: Whichever one has the most buzznet sockpuppets.
In Boxed Set, about the impact of some character deaths:
ita: I was gutted by their deaths, sumi, so my only conclusion is that you have no heart...
sumi: My heart was consumed by trying to figure out knitting in the round with doublepointed needles.
