You start using Firefly speak in the real world.

So I'm a coach for a girls volleyball team and we had a tournament this weekend. In one of the huddles I was encouraging the team, explaining some positional things blah blah blah. The whistle was blown to end the time out and I'm wrapping up and putting hands in the middle when I look at the girls and say "We shiny?"

The all looked at me like I was crazy. After the game asked me about it and I set about converting them to the 'verse.

So have you ever done anything like that? Do you find yourself using gorram or ruttin or shiny?

Saying "Shiny" once in a while isn't quite an obsession.

Just as long as you don't start naming your firearms "Vera" or the like...

Are you fong luh? I take it as my personally responsobility to learn as much talk in the verse as I can. The first step to getting people to convert is to get them already thinking firefly. The more I talk Firefly, the more people ask me about, and thus are actually intrested, in firefly. If they ask then they'll be far more open to learning the verse, and thats all Shiny to me. :)

If you play Nationstates.net check out the region Firefly.

Better, if instead of asking if they understand, you say - Dong Ma?

I know I had a dream or 2 which involved the Firefly 'verse. I think of ways to personalize my license plate, or some such. While I don't have the imagination as some folk here, I find myself thinking a fair amount about Firefly. Not sure why though, But it's all good.

Hey, a buddy of mine called up and left a voice mail... " Don't know these folks and don't much care to .They're whores I'm in! "

" They don't like it when you shoot at 'em. I worked that out myself. "

When you memorize the theme song and start humming it during class...

I use shiny all the time. I also relate anything and everything to Firefly/Serenity. And I can't stop thinking about it.

ok, so given i'm something of a geek (arn't we all :) ) and do this with various phrases and the like from other worlds, but yeah, i say "shiny" ALL the time, and gorramit, and even a cuple chineese phrases i've picked up (though noo doubt mis-pronounced). ive gotten people at school to start too, it's good fun, most of my friends say shiny now.

You think about Mal and crew all the time, and don't really like watching anything else.

You spend most of your time ( even time you are supposed to be doing something else!) right here at FFF.net, because this is home.

You say gorramnit and shiny all of the time, it's now second nature, AND the folks around you are imitating you and asking you where you got the cool new words ( thus leading to opportunities to convert folks into Browncoats!)

You ALWAYS say dong ma for understand.

Your desktop at home and at work is a pic of Mal or Serenity. And your screensavers are pics of Mal and Serenity too!

You play the DVD's at work for folks to see and maybe fall in love too!

You look for news of a sequel everyday and you are willing to buy DVD's and convert folks, because you love this 'verse so much.

No---me obsessed? Not much....

You know you are obsessed when....

You start knitting tiny Jayne hats for next years Christmas tree, and they turn out so well, you decide to knit a little firefly bug, and that turns out shiny, so you knit a purple Fruiy Oaty octopus. But that doesn't turn out, so you keep trying until you get it right. And you decide to decorate a whole Christmas tree in little knit Firefly items...and its only January.

Yup, shiny and gorram are just words that pop out of my mouth now. So do various quotes from the show. The other day I told my boss "What you plan and what takes place ain't ever been exactly similar." I don't know if he caught the reference, but he was amused at the wording.

"Kaylee, find that kid that's taking a dirt nap with baby Jesus; we need a hood ornament."

Yip...
...been quotin' Firefly now for a while without meaning it...
An occational "shiny", a "gorram-it" or two doesn't make me obsessed; per se....

.yip...
I might just be obsessed,

Not that that's a bad thing!
