Obsessions are what I do best, love.

Trust me, my Conor obsession is a casual interest compared to the deepest fathoms of all my previous obsessions.

Speaking of obsessions, isn't Firefly a rocking show?

Aren't you happy I got you hooked?

Anyway, my names for ships
Dreamer of Dreams – It’s a great name.
Teller of Tales – Dreamer’s sister ship
Lost Cause – What was once a ship but is now a stationary home.
Caelum – still sounds cool

Actually, this is the last of the series!

The Quandary Phase & Quintessential Phase cover So Long, and Thanks For All The Fish & Mostly Harmless.

Last year, the Tertiary Phase covered Life, The Universe, and Everything. Sorry I wasn't here to tell you about that one!

Of course, you can always listen to the Original here!

I have the original on cassette.

Looking it (the website) over I very much wish they had continued where they left off, not followed the books by saying that only Zaphod remembered it and it was passed off as a drunken psychotic episode by the one he told.

I first thought the Freedom, but that was a little sticky in my mind, though it does have a nice ring.

Then I thought the Indefatigable, named after Horatio Hornblowers ship of the line.

But noone would have known where it came from, and it is hard to say.

So Finally I decided on the Icarus.

So that I may remember to be be humble and thoughtful, and to always cling to what little common sense God has given me.

Or just make sure your ship has aquatic capabilities.

i've always liked the name bob. i named my car bob.



I second this, i would defently name it Bob, if that names good enough for New Earth it is good enough for a Firefly.

Well you have to name a planet Bob, there is no other name for one.

The only reason the planets in Firefly are not named bob is that there are so many, that was the real cause for the war you know. The central planets had agreed that no planet would be named bob because if one was the inhabitants of the others would feel jealous.

When colonization started in the border moons one named itself Bob. It was decided then and there, well actually then and on a central planet, that such things should not be allowed and the only way to prevent them was to rule everything.
