I turned on the tv in the middle of a post-Helms retrospective, and they didn't once utter the phrase "racist, homophobic son of a bitch," which strikes me as an incomplete report.
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.

Sophia Brooks, in Natter:
I am watching His Girl Friday, which is one of my favorites, and I am finding myself feeling sorry for poor Ralph Bellamy, which is sort of ruining my enjoyment. It is sort of like my over-identification with th fish ruins my enjoyment of The Cat in the Hat.

Shir: (I almost wanted to say that if we can't even pronounce the same words similar, all hope is doomed. And then I remembered that it took me about 10 days in US to make sure that when I'm asking for French crepes it won't sound like I'm asking for French craps).
BWAHHAHAHA! Heh.
In Bitches:
Vortex - Teacher type buffista people: What's the phrase for when a group of teachers who teach the same students get together to try to harmonize their lesson plans so that compatible concepts are reinforced through different subjects? It has a name, I can't remember it.
Trudy Booth - "bar crawl"
sj, in Movies, because it had to be said:
I forget that everyone isn't us.
Ginger:
I am also not voting for the Public Service Commission candidate who talks about "roving blackouts." It's "rolling blackouts," moron. The blackouts do not stroll about like minstrels.
Theodosia: What's Quebecois for wetback?
Cass: The traffic gods give with one hand and annoy the hell out of me with the other.
in tech, to answer a craxy-stupid question about voice recognition and transcription.
tommyrot: You know, dogs can recognize about 200 different words. So if you assume that there are 10,000 commonly used words, and that most words used fall in this 10,000, you could get 50 dogs and train each to recognize 200 words. Then you'd need some sort of 200-key doggie keyboard for each dog....
I love tommyrot's analysis of the communion wafer: Well, they paid less than a penny. But then they added value by turning it into Jesus.
