So my other life exists over at the VW forums at www.thesamba.com/vw/forum and I've decided to do a series of avatars and quotes from the show that will also link to the site here. I'm currently using Jayne and a quote from him, but what other quotes from other characters do you all suggest?

1 suggestion:

"My days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle." - Mal

"Gorramit Mal... I've forgotten my line."

I never made the connection before but a Firefly has a lot in common with a VW Bus, at least IMHO. I could definitely picture a present-day Mal running cigarettes over the border to Canada using one. So that particular forum seems like a perfect place to advertise for the show. How about making up your own tagline... "Firefly - The VW Bus of the 26th Century" or some quotes related to Serenity herself, "Yep. A real beauty, ain't she? Yessir. A right smart purchase, this vessel. Tell you what, you buy this ship, treat her proper, she'll be with ya for the rest of your life." or "You like ships. Don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is ships and mine is the nicest."

Good point...I like that. I really like that Kaylee one...I'll use that with an avatar of the strawberry bite! :)

Mal has many many good ones.

I think I have Wash's all picked out (Who's flyin' this thing!)

River (No Power in the Verse)

Need good ones for Inara, Book, Zoe, Simon...thoughts?

On a couple of other boards I post, I promote our BDH. On one , I use a FIREFLY gif as my sig with 4 lines from the Ballad of Serenity under it. In the last line .. You can't take the sky from me , is a hyperlink to http://www.serenitymovie.com/

In the other board, I have the SERENITY logo as my sig, and below that, a hyperlinked message with the release date for the BDM, http://www.fireflymovie.com/media/FireflyLogoAnim_med.mov

Got all that ?

Just a couple of little things I do to spread the word to thems who need it.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. My gamertag on XBox-Live is HEROofCANTON . In HALO 2, I'm still fighting more like Simon than Jayne , but just give me time.

Wasn't "No power in the 'verse ... " originally Kaylee's line? She was chasing River around and took the apple, and said the line. Then during the fight when River uses the gun, she says it back to Kaylee. Did River say it before Kaylee did earlier than that?

Kaylee said it first...
River was putting the killing of three bad guys
on a parr w/Kaylee chasing her down & getting her apple back...

it increased the creepifying aspect of the situation

----------------------------------
and AURaptor? I love your use of the Firefly & Serenity logos as your signitures...
we want people around the web to be familiar with them
and curious about them....!

Leafy, you're right...but when River says it she's holding a gun and lookin' mighty tuff...so it works better for her. ;)

Hey UnchartedOutlaw,

Would any of these work?

* Inara: "I only fell is all."

* Book: "Shepherd's a purely figurative title."

* Zoe: "First rule of battle, little one.
Never let 'em know where you are...
Of course there are other schools
of thought.

* Simon: "My God, you're like a trained ape!
Without the training."

* Wash: "Do not fear me. Ours is a peaceful
race, and we must live in harmony..."

"Once in flight school, I was laconic."

* Mal: "They don't like it when you shoot at
them. I worked that out myself."

From Serenity (the pilot (no, not the 2nd pilot)):
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please?
Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful.
