(RL, I think the original coffeemaker comment was MM, not billytea)
Yes, it was.
Mal: There's plenty orders of mine that she didn't obey. Wash: Name one! Mal: She married you!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
PMM in Natter:
Soylent Green is People Who Don't Like Buffy.

If I only had a brain...
The ita above needs Kat's reply as well.
ita:
Just being alone with my exertion for 26 miles? I'd start punching the other runners just for something to do.
Kat:
But you aren't alone with exertion for the whole duration. There's also exertion's cousins Giddiness, Exhaustion, Pain, Misery, and Depression.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
MM on life in sunny, glorious Southern California:
Ah, what a lovely Los Angeles day.
I just stepped out for a cigarette. Not that I need to actually light the cigarette, as a deep breath provided me with all the smoke I needed from the nearby wildfire, making the air smell like charbroiled ass-hair.
Add to that the fact that it's hotter than Lucifer's nutsack on a black vinyl car seat and you find yourself with a wondrous and newfound love of nature.
Randy Newman was on crack.

billytea, on accidental number w/h/o/r/i/n/g/ companioning:
hey, post 1000! I'd like to thank my parents, all those people who believed in me, and the decimal system, for making it all possible.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
And another from the estimable Mr. billytea, this time in Buffy:
Joss has put down his copy of King Lear and is now taking his ideas from The Rules.
(It's only spoilery for the tone of the episode, and that in an elliptical way.)

Angus, to Billytea:
bt, did you learn all this stuff from your crazy-ass denomination's Bible college? Because if so, I have a newfound respect for the scholarly standards of crazy-ass denominations.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
billytea:
"close your eyes and think of England."
I've always wondered about that. Is England supposed to be particularly erotic or something? Does 'shaped like a jagged dildo' really hold that much appeal?

Catching up in the Buffy thread:
(Whitefonted for premiere spoilers)
Jesse: "Buffy still thinks it's good idea to hide her formerly-evil, gone-for-a-while, now-crazy, vampire ex-lover and not tell her friends? Doesn't she know that never ends well?"

And another Buffy/premiere thing:
Sumi: Oh, and by the way everyone, Willow is CONNECTED to the EARTH.
Madrigal: Yeah, but now the Earth has got nasty big pointy teeth. (OMG. Anya's finally right. It is bunnies.)
Victor: How's that working out for ya, babe? */Minear*
