OK. I know it was only two posts ago, in this very thread, but I'm COMMing Nora, on principle:
Nora Deirdre: I always want to COMM Tom, but I feel like it is unseemly in a "STFU Smug Marrieds" sort of way.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

In Delurking, Buffistas get sex-ay with puncutation:
Una: ...In conclusion, the serial comma is a moral imperative. Semicolons also rock my world.
Zenkitty: Una! I've posted with you before, I know! Probably in Firefly. Here, let me rock your world: ;;;;;;;;
Amy: Here, let me help:
The serial comma is elegant, necessary, and useful; I love it.
How's that?
Zenkitty: oooh, Amy. Talk punctuation to me!
Amy: I feel like there's a "show me your dangling participle" joke there, but I'll restrain myself.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
The delightful billytea in Delurking:
As a matter of interest, are there any Americans here opposed to the serial comma? I don't use it; it's simply not the standard in Australia. From my perspective it's just part of the list of American freakiness, like the attachment to Imperial measurements (despite the national mythology being tied up in an act of revolt against the British Empire), a random loss of vowels, a willingness to use peanut butter for anything short of a personal lubricant, an apparent loss of fine motor skills in your left hand whenever you pick up a fork, and the governership of Illinois. (As you will note, this list of American freakiness does indeed include the serial comma.)

I saw erika's dog violate a plush toy so I want extra credit for that.

Ann, that's a ferret.
billytea gives instructions as gamemaster in Gaming:
Ohh, Officer Agathon. I must ask you to report immediately to the Brig to discuss your taste in women, and possibly record a cover version of the Supremes' "Love Child".

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
In Bitches:
tommyrot:
Now I feel bad for my parents. They would never ask me if I was dating anybody, and I never told them I was, because I never was. So it turns out they were often assuming my female flatmates were my girlfriends. Then when my best friend died of AIDS, they assumed we must have been lovers so they started to worry I might have AIDS too.
Shir:
God, tommy.
Never bring up robotics, OK?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Steph's doctor is killer...
My doctor's observation on first peering in my ear: "There's a moderate level of nastiness in there."
Me: "Is that a medical term?"
Dr.: "Well, no. The term is 'ew, gross!', but I didn't want to confuse you with medical terminology."
****
I should probably confess that it was caused (or at least compounded) by Q-tip use, for which the doctor chastised me. Well, rolled his eyes.
Dr.: [looks in ear, moment of silence passes] "Do you use Q-tips?"
Me: "...no?"
Dr.: "Yeah, THAT was convincing."

Frankenbuddha: ...I've also had an ENT use a hook to get particularly stubborn wax out. Not as uncomfortable as the nosecam he also employed, but still not pleasent, and boy do you keep your head still when that's going on.
Polter-Cow: Earhooks.
Calli: Yep. You bait them with earworms.
smonster: To catch earfish?
(reminded of Babel Fish)
Made even funnier if you're the sort of nerd who would reflexibely picture a giant Tree Doctor weilding said earhook. And if HE can't help you you'll have to see the tree surgeon.

Made me giggle, in Bitches:
erika: Also "hey, girlfriend!" seems to have met the same fate as "posse"
Steph L: Passe?
