Xander ,'Get It Done'
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.
In f2f (I choked on my cranberry juice)...
Vortex: Okay, as an established buffista booze hound, I am fine with reducing the bar tab. I'm at the F2F to be with my peeps, I can get drunk at home ;)
Trudy Booth: Remember how the liquor turned out to be really cheap in Wisconsin so we had to burn off the tab with premium shots and then finish up at the bar?
Yeah, that was cool.
Vortex: yeah, that was kind of awesome.
In Bitches, billytea goes on a tangent:
Vortex: Hivemind: best way to clean a corset with steel boning? one side is irridescent satin, one side is cordouroy. it's reversible...
billytea: Apropos of nothing, Steele Boning would be an excellent porn name. (And, by coincidence, he too could potentially be reversible.)
Cass: In this economy, I'd think you'd want to go as many ways as possible.
billytea: You're not suggesting he go the other way, are you?
Cass: And risk getting pregnant?!
billytea: Steele Boning does not wait nine months for a baby. Steele Boning expels the baby with EXPLOSIVE FORCE!!
On the distinction between lie and lay in Bitches:
Sparky1: My mother's voice in my head screams: "Hens lay!"
smonster: My sistah! Wait... my... sister?
From the F2F thread:
Jilli VoiceOfReason:
I HAVE FAY IN MY HOUSE. YOU MAY ALL START BEING VERY JEALOUS NOW.
In F2F:
Jilli, VoiceOfReason:
I just got to see Fay and Pete have a slappy-hands fight in the middle of my living room. This is going to be the best weekend ever.
Trudy Booth in F2F (in response to Matilda's pouting accusation of JZ):
Look, our more enlightened world is fresh out of bad guys with which to menace our children into obedience. We can't threaten to sell them to Gypsies or Indians. Nobody is going to make matzoh from them. The Commies are just about gone. Even the Big Bad Wolf is a symbol of the majesty and wildness of the West and the unleashed power of half a million Wicca. Oh, and FORGET scaring them with witches, half their friends are witches. Even the Boogie-man Americans have cultural outreach now.
We're left with a world where children are forced to silently mouth "Polar Bear" at their parents until they're old enough to call them motherfuckers.
In Supernatural:
mellenbal : How cool would that be for them to acknowledge Dean's obsession with the magic fingers in a season 5 ep?
Morgana : But they've already pretty firmly established that, right?
sumi: I think so. It's not like we made it up.
For omnis_audis (and 'cause it's well worth comming):
WindSparrow: Just how drunk did you get last night, sj?
sj: Heh. I had not one drop of alcohol because of my tummy. I can fuck up a post on gronk alone.
this Natter made me giggle:
Steph L. - When we were going door-to-door in our neighborhood passing out energy-efficient lightbulbs for people's front porches (part of the community council's outreach program), on one house's front steps we found the head of a rat. No body. Just a head.
Like it was left there as a warning to the other rats, or something.
Trudy Booth - Was it on a tiny little pike?
Steph L. - That would have been perfect. Sadly, no -- it was just sort of lying there, all Godfather-horse-head-like.
From Natter, WRT SC Gov. Mark Sanford going AWOL over Father's Day weekend. Hiking the Appalachian Trail, apparently...
Theodosia:
What angers me is that he didn't notify his office or the Lt. Gov that he'd be gone -- that's his duty, because what if there was any of dozens of kinds of state emergencies that needed doing while he was gone? Granted, no governor has to worry about nuclear launch codes....
Gudanov:
This won't help him get the nomination in 2012. Also, he has kids and his wife is fine with him just disappearing without telling her and over Father's Day? WTF? If I did that the locks would be changed by the time I got back.
Trudy Booth:
My guess is "something is very very wrong".
tommyrot:
Or else he just decided he needed some quality time with his giant invisible rabbit friend.
Or both.
ETA
msbelle:
My guesses in no particular order
- bender - breakdown - rehab
Kathy A:
See, I'm much more cynical than that--my mind went immediately to "weekender with current boy and/or girlfriend."
Gudanov:
Hang on there, this is a Republican who espouses family values. You're not going to see someone like that involved in some seedy sexual activity.
