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.
Catching up in Natter while phone banking:
flea: Also, I would like to confess that despite an overall excellent command of English, I am confused about the tenses of the verb "to drink." "I have never drunk rum" is, I think, correct, but it feels wrong. Drink, drank, drunk. Sigh.
WindSparrow: Where rum is involved, drunk is always an appropriate word.
JZ in Natter:
I am seriously going to barf out everything between my tonsils and my voting vagina.
Gud brings the gallows humor to Natter:
hippocampus: RIP Leonard Cohen.
Dana: I really need to build that wall around Sondheim.
Gudanov: And make Broadway pay for it.
Consuela in Natter:
Congratulations, Callaluna. May you shake the dust off your feet and stride forth into a shiny new life. (Sorry America just peed all over the couch cushions, though...)
Jessica in Bureau:
Goodbye and Good Riddance 2016: Come Back, David Bowie

To make my life complete, my office is having a team building thing on Friday. Our head person let something drop and I've figured out that it's going to be one of those locked room deals. I offered to keep quiet about it if she'd give me the key.
Matt the Bruins Fan
Guess it's time for Bring a Chainsaw to Work Day.

I had a reasonably good meeting with my manager today, and he told me that he wanted me to be more aggressive with our team.

That's code for "bring your chainsaw to work."

This noise is bout ta drive me mad. Sounds like a pneumatic jackhammer. They're working under my trees. If they damage them I'm going on a rampage. Just so you know. Maybe I'll arm myself and take over a wildlife refuge. That's okay now, right? I bet it's quiet at a wildlife refuge.
-t
Well, you are white, but you aren't male, so I'm not sure. Might only be half okay.
Zenkitty
Hmpf. Probably any white male I could find to back me up in this protest would be unpleasant company. Of course, he would hypothetically have all the guns. My only weapons are an iron skillet, a bayonet, and an Iron Man action figure.
Jesse
Um, Zen, for what it's worth, you could probably go to a wildlife refuge for the quiet without an armed takeover.
Zenkitty
Is that even legal?
Zenkitty
I am convinced that HRC lost because I didn't wear Madame President on my nails that night.
JZ
I would be crushed if that were so, but OTOH our pundits could then stop wasting everyone's time tearing us all to shreds over our inability to adequately empathize with angry white men and urging us to stop talking so much about civil rights and race and gender and other things that prevent angry white men from voting for our team. Sorry, guys, turns out it was just Zen's nail polish, so you can all shut up now.
Mine is a bitter laugh. In Bitches:
Steph: 2016 is like a lab assignment the fucking devil is rushing to finish before it's due on December 31.

Jilli I'm assuming this wasn't a buffista, but it's still an odd Secret Santa thing -- left on my front porch this morning was a bag of cute gothy purses. It was hanging around the neck of one of our larger gargoyles. No note, just little purses with skulls and bat wings.
Steph Have you started manifesting your will through handbags?
