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.
shrift in Natter:
It appears that I'll be hauling a huge bag of vegetables with me to the convention hotel tomorrow, because my CSA haul was kind of ridiculous this week and people have expressed interest in food that isn't from the House of Meat (aka Outback, which is in the hotel).
I'm totally going to invite ladies back to my room to feast upon my magnificent tomatoes and enormous cucumbers.
smonster: Common human decency, people. Jesus was a fan.
Ginger: The problem with the yahoos who are always nattering on about the founders is that they don't know who the hell the founders were or what the Constitution says. They have a vague notion that the Pilgrims wrote the constitution to create a Christian government that protects their rights while abusing the rights of people not like them.
Cashmere in Natter, and ain't it the truth:
Buffistas are so smart that they've ruined everyone else for me.
Jars:
Also, oy. I just sent a report in where I'd used 'find and replace all' and ended up with 'opium poopy' all over one section.
Consuela: I am writing and listening to my iPod and thinking about going into the city, which will require me to get changed and all that. But I must go, because I made a pie, and simply cannot keep it at home. However carrying a pie on mass transit is never all that easy: I need a pie-carrier.
Tom Scola: I will take the pie — though I do not know the way.
ita: CIO sent me a "Welcome to the team!" card. I doublechecked, and she is still spelling my name in all caps. I feel obliquely chastised.
tommyrot: Does she think you're an acronym?
ita: I hope she thinks I'm the right one. Continual total agreement would be useful.
Tom Scola regarding The Departed in Movies:
That movie goes on forever. Just when I thought that Scorsese couldn't possibly have any more ass to pull endings out of, he went and proved me wrong.
Aims, in Natter
I love that picture of the Gabor sisters. I can't decide if Zsa Zsa is telling Sinatra to call her, or throwing some strange Swedish gang sign.
Tom Scola, in Bitches:
Thanks to Fox News, there are SO many people out there who sincerely believe that trolling is an acceptable form of discourse.
