That's right I can't help it.Sometimes I just say Gorrammit for no reason,or BWA! Sometimes,I will have to say a line out loud, because it is roaming in my head--people look at me in an odd way.There is no cure for what I have,but I do not ask for your sympathy,I am strong and I will get th---SHINY!---sorry---I will get through this.I am not asking for a donation either,that would b---WE GOTTA GO TO THE CRAPPY PLANET WHERE IM A HERO!---(AHEM)--that would be wrong,no my fellow Browncoats all I ask in return is--understanding.If you see me on the street yelling"HAMSTERS IS NICE!"Don't be afraid,infact try to explain to the cop who is dragging me into the police car,that I am just a fan of a show that never got a chance.As Madonna once sang-"Don't cry for me Ariel",wait,no,that's not it--anyhoo if you really want to do something for me----------JOIN ME! KEEP FLYING!
"Hamsters is nice."

Bwahahahaha....
Long as you don't go as far as your screen name suggests. ;)
Gorrammit.
:P
I've personally taken to using shiny and not even noticing it. The heathen just don't understand.

Yes, I too have unconciously picked up on "shiny".

Oddy enough the occasional shiny and gorramit have passed my lips recently. Has made for some odd looks from folks - except one who just smileed and said "ah another browncoat" Shiny.

At least we already have a support group. When are the meetings? Will there be donuts?
And what are we gonna do about the fact that I still occasional yell 'Noi j'tat!' or 'Son of a Namec!' at traffic? (500 bonus points to the person who can identify both shows)

I am so glad to find out that I am not alone. I second the motion for a support group. May be we could get some money from the Alliance, uhh, I mean the goverment to help us with treatment. Maybe if we watch Firefly over and over and over we'll be cured. I figure it's worth a shot.

Perhaps this will help you...I find it helpful whenever I am tempted to curse at someone in Chinese or babble something about bein' morbid and creepifyin'...
Firefly: a 12 step program for withdrawal
step 1: Admitted you were powerless over decisions made by Fox executives.
step 2: Came to believe that Joss could restore our faith in mass media. Or at least get a movie out to us. AND have a reeaalllly long gag reel on the Serenity DVD when it comes out.
step 3: Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Joss as we understood him.
step 4: Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of the tv listings.
step 5: Admitted to God, ourselves and everyone on FFF.net the exact nature of Fox's wrongs.
step 6: Were entirely ready to have Joss remove the defects (if any) of the movie during editing and post production.
step 7: Humbly asked Joss to let Mal be nekkid at least once in the BDM.
step 8: Made a list of all persons who have not seen Firefly and became willing to tie them up if need be to..."introduce" them to the show.
step 9: Made direct converts of such people whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. And maybe even then, if necessary.
step 10: Continued to do guerilla marketing techniques in Best Buy, Borders Books, Circuit City and assorted video rental outlets, and when the DVD was hidden away, promptly displayed it at eye level.
step 11: Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our freakish knowledge of every iota of each episode so as to win the Firefly trivia contests at each shindig.
step 12: Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry The Message (and all the other episodes) to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs. While simultaneously attempting to actually live a life, work and pay bills when possible.

I say gorram/gorramit all the time, but it's one of those words that sounds similar enough to the more common variant that most people don't even really notice. Odd I don't use "shiny" very often, considering my screen name...
Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

I usually get an odd look when I say Gorramit or Gorram mutherhumpers. Know a guy used to say Shiny before Firefly came out but he said it kind of caveman like,.." Umm, Shiny, me like." Never heard anyone else say Fireflyisms.
