Coffee On My Monitor
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.
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.
In Lightbulbs, Polter-Cow invents a word that really, really needs to exist:
Thritto.
Oh, Fred, I can't take credit for that! I've seen it used before, multiple times. Possibly even on this very board.
welcome spring, from bitches:
Cass:
Treesex is teh suck.
*choo*
Aimee
Boy, that's what I get for flipping from fic to Bitches, cause I read that sentence and thought, "What the fuck is *she* reading?"
Cass
Ent smut.
Burrell's take on the Groping at Con fiasco:
I don't need to go to a con to get my boobs groped in a purely platonic, yet annoyingly needy, way. I have kids.
Cass was killin' before killin' was cool
SuziQ:
Now my brain has a whole bunch of "You might be a cougar if....." type lines bouncing around.
You might be a cougar if you are old enough to have once babysat your date.
You might be a cougar if your date is younger than your child.
You might be a cougar if your car is older than your date.
Cass:
Hey, when it comes to cars? I have standards.
****
shrift:
Kids these days. Why can't I kill them, again?
Cass:
It's mostly semantic, really...
Quantum dairy, from Natter:
Hil R.:
OK, wikipedia suggests that what I know as farmer's cheese might be the same thing as quark (I've tried quark, and it is pretty similar), which is sold in Canada as baker's cheese.
Frankenbuddha:
I prefer strangeness and charm cheese to quark, personally.
Steph L.:
The problem is, the grocer SAYS it's in the dairy case, but you can never find it....

Jessica:
I believe the solution is to throw a pint of heavy cream really hard into the rest of the items in the case...
