May I just say, this is possibly the funniest threads I've ever seen on this board.

Then again, I am certifiable...

That should have been obvious from the "pretty floral bonnet" remark, his reference to "Serenity" as a "big damn movie" and his oh-so-subtle hatred of Fox. Come on, people!

This is totally shiny!

Any chance other papers will run the article? Is there a standard procedure for encouraging my local newspaper to do so?

Sure. Just have them contact me for reprint permission.

But they must promise to use this column only for good.

Excellent article! One need only read it to know a Browncoat wrote it, and a talented one at that!

Love the barbs at the monkeys at Fox.

I've finally found a good sig for this board!

Thanks Chris

And remember, every time you support a canceled Fox show, somewhere a network executive loses his wings.

I...uh...wow. You're all articulate. Were you naked when you wrote that too?

That is one of the best articles I've ever seen about Firefly. And the not-so-subtle but not-overly-vehement Fux bashing was a nice touch.

I have to agree that that is one of the best sentences ever created.
