this post will be initiated by buffy quotes:
"SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!"
"Sometimes my life sucks beyond the telling."
quote as you will from what you will, but hey, some continuity or logic might be nice, even if only one non posting person gets it--
and hey, look, it's a new millenium

that last comment was of the january 1, 2000 in post preview and
"I have no response to that."

I haven't seen any Buffy here in my out-of-the-way corner of the world, but I do adore Joe vs. the Volcano, so here's a little ditty to cheer your day.

I so, so, so want that lamp he had in the horrible basement office.

all previews show Jan. 1, 2000; it's just a placeholder I guess.

it can be name that quote too, or finish that quote or explain that quote or whatever

"--it ain't what ya do but the way that you do it--"

"--money, fear and respect (or love)--"

Ooh, this is like the punchlines game!

"If The Cure is traveling at 76 miles per hour, and the main Cure guy leans out the window, and the wind pulls a teardrop off of his cheek, how long until it hits the ground, assuming that a cubic tear weighs one gram?"

Nobody wig out please, it's the best I could come up with at short notice.

"SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!" is from Buffy? I thought it was from mcsweetie.

Wanna see my impression of Ghandi? *thud* Well, when he was really pissed off.

mcsweetie is a poster at metafilter who posts the comment

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

a lot. I thought he had made it up. I mean, as much as you can actually make up the sentence SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP.

buffyisms abound. like everything else. people forget they may have been from somewhere. that explains a bunch of ask questions as well.

"--crazy troll logic?"

"It's fairly freaksome."

"Why, if I could, I'd smoke, two, three of these a day."

"--goddamndirty ape--"

My favorite lines are from Oz (e.g.):

"That's great, Larry, you've really mastered the single entendre."

joking, gaspers, and it's doesn't have to be buffy quotes. i'm still wondering where nomis' came from

kmellis's quote reminded me of not quotes per se, but Earshot, where Buffy can read thoughts. And everyone's thoughts are awesome. Particularly Cordy's.

eth, buffy quotes are pretty much the only ones I can remember. but that gg one was great

May I relate a real life quote I heard a few days ago? Good, thus:
My office is underneath/next to a residential building full of face frozen yuppie monsters, two of them were having a fight in the hall way and the scream "YOU'RE A FRAUD, YOU'RE A FRAUD." Was heard by me. Very Cheever. It made me glad I am essentially a product of the lower classes, thus a typical fight with my darlin consists of her waking me up and saying "Keep snoring you shanty Irish prick and I'll kill you in your sleep." To which I say "I love you too, babes."

posted by Divine_Wino 18 October | 10:27

*poot!*
*giggle*
"Wha? Why'd you wake me?"
"I love you."

posted by ethylene 18 October | 11:28

"You know what I love?"
"I doubt I want to know."
"I love it when you fart up a storm while sitting on a plush chair. And you come back to it later and sit down and it releases some of the trapped fart. It tickles me pink. I just bounce up and down on the chair and let all of the farts out."
"You need help."

bunnies...bunnies....it must be bunnies. they're not as cute as everybody supposes, with their floppy ears and twitchy little noses

They got the mustard out...

Divine_wino: I had to ..er.. ask the mister to roll over several times last night. Man, he sawed a whole forest. I'll have to use your darlin's line next time. Only - what's the Scots version of "shanty Irish"? Somehow "you Canadian hocky lovin' prick" doesn't have the same ring to it.

posted by deborah 18 October | 12:46

Try "Greeeaattt southern pillock" or "wee gurls blouse."

aahh, of course. Anya and the bunny hatin'. Love it.

eth I have to confess my quote was lifted straight from a Well Known internet comic that I happened to be reading at the time. It was shown quite recently to be not all that popular among mecha readers, hence my plea for non wigging-out. To be fair, you did make it clear that we were not limited to Buffy quotes (of which I know none). Here endeth the confession.

Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes
They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses
And what's with all the carrots?
What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?

Neither: it's Greg.
