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.

Connie Neil One benefit of a diet Coke addiction is that it forces me out of the house on a regular basis to restock. Otherwise I'd just keep curling up in my shell with one eye open and one manipulating pseudopod for operating computers and ereaders.
Zenkitty I'm using a pseudopod to search for the Like button.
billytea Two tube feet up!

Beverly: Amusing (to me, anyway): on a scenic drive yesterday we saw a flock of migratory ducks spread over a flooded field. "Oh look," H observed, "a field of ducks."
I nodded, and replied solemnly, "Autocorrect at work."
-t: Ha! Now I want an opportunity to say "I had one duck and it's gone"
From Natter, the juxtaposition made me giggle.
aurelia: I just watched an ad in which one of the candidates for governor is literally juggling fire while he gives his campaign pitch.
Theodosia: That's what my life is missing -- a house pig!
From Natter, a sentence I need to have embroidered on a pillow:
Zenkitty: It's not all about the money, Matt. You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit.
Atropa in Bitches:
More parents need to embrace what my Dad did: normal names or spelling, but you tell the kid something different until they need to see any official legal documents.
Signed, the woman who believed her middle name was "Vegomatic" until she was 16.
Buffistas are past masters at black humor. Desperately finding a ray of light in present horror this morning in Natter, slightly edited.
Toddson: Seemingly the DHS secretary decided to go out to eat (ironically at a Mexican restaurant) and was driven out by protesters standing around chanting "shame, shame".
Laura: As a general rule I let recognized people dine out without annoying them; I'd make an exception for people that take kids away from parents and keep them in cages.
Jessica: Yeah, I think if your policy is forcibly separating asylum seeking parents from their asylum seeking infants, I see no moral issue with a crowd of protesters forcibly separating you from your enchiladas.
Matt the Bruins fan: Or entrails. IJS.
In Natter...
Dana: People misspell and mispronounce everything. No matter what. It's like a challenge.
shrift: Challenge accepted, Donna.
Shir, in Natter:
Library informed me that they want their book back, as it has been in my possession for six weeks. Only six weeks. C'mon, library. It's practically like dating. You cannot ask me to return an item of interest after merely six weeks (OK, technically you can, but morally, really?). The book has only now begun to discover the way the sun casts its rays through the window and onto the shelf it is stored safely on; When I am going to bed; What I'm drinking next to my reading list. I finally got used to the damn font the print chose. Interrupting this affair so soon is simply unjust.
(And they say I do not have a romantic soul).
DebetEsse: My sister (recent acquisition. You're not crazy if you don't remember me having a sister)
Gudanov: Does this mean your family has jumped the shark?
