Giles ,'Never Leave Me'
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.
Jessica, in Natter:
In my experience, People Who Don't Get Computer Stuff just want to know what buttons to press. This person probably can't even see their monitor because it's covered in post-it notes listing key-sequences for complicated tasks like Opening A Word Document and Getting To A Web Page.
Stephanie, in Natter re: Ayn Rand:
I wouldn't take dating advice from her either.
Daisy Jane, in Music, no context needed:
Knowing may be half the battle, but knowing buffistas will win it!
In Bitches, summing us up nicely.
Jessica: Being a Buffista means never having to say "Am I the only one who misread that?"
Daisy Jane: And yet, saying it anyway.
billytea in Bitches:
If I were ever to get a Hanzi tattoo, it would be 有仁 ('Yŏu Rén'). It means 'benevolent'. It's also Ryan's Chinese name. I'm pretty confident I haven't mistranslated it or missed any "Ich Bin Ein Berliner" wackiness (unless Wallybee's parents are in on it, and I wouldn't entirely put it past her father). It is, however, phonetically identical to "This toilet is occupied".
Ginger: I had a friend who became obsessed with hot yoga, and she too lost a lot of weight. I would only lose weight with hot yoga because one can't eat while passed out.
Context? Who needs context? It's far better NOT having context!
In Bitches (where else?) javachik :
I hope someone got some last night, because I didn't! I was too busy enjoying myself!
In the Gaming thread, BSG play-by-post.
billytea: Look how chatty you all got! *sniff* Makes a Cylon proud.
NoiseDesign: I'm so glad to know who my fellow appliance is.
omnis_audis: apparently you got the "water works" version. Maybe he's a dishwasher and not a toaster.
Zenkitty: You moved in there with the assurance that you'd be able to get out of the building quickly in a fire. Without jumping out a window.
Hil R.: Aren't you not supposed to use elevators if there's a fire?
Zenkitty: Hush. I've got the righteous indignation going.
The buffista blueprint for world domination:
Stephanie: We do have many areas covered.
smonster: And the rest are strategically uncovered, and sprinkled with glitter.
