This is my first posting to this site so here goes.
1. Being captain is tough. People are always trying to punch, kick, stab, shoot, and torture you. What a cool job!
2. If I knew that I was going to that special hell, and my choice was to a). talk in the theatre; or b). take advantage of a young woman... well...
3. When the music gets low and the drums start beating, it's the Reavers, unless it ain't.
4. When the engines are making weird noises and the lights blink... duck!
5. Wash is always flying this thing.
6. The Blue Hand Group ARE the bad guys.
7. a). Cows do not have smallish droppings.
b). When in the vacinity of cows, wear different shoes.
c). Cows are not cows inside of spaceships.
8. If you are afraid of hanging around with hooligans and not breathing, make up for it with a gunfight.
9. If you read people's minds and tell them what they are thinking, they will set you on fire.
10. Niska doesn't like being held over the volcano.

1) Always close the hatch when there's a fire on board.
2) When you investigate an odd sound in a dark stairwell, don't lead with your chin.
3) Homilies could be very important.
4) Trying to evade the authorities by flying through twisty and dangerous only works if the ship you're trying to evade follows you.
5) You don't wanna go there with me, boy.
6) Stabbing a fallen enemy can be funny.
7) - 10) Gorram Fox!!
Take my love
Take my land

1) It takes a badass man to look tough wearing a cotton dress.
2) Better folk kill people, lesser folk just stab em a couple times and humilate em.
3) When your engineer tells you "we need a new one" for weeks, might be a good idea to listen to her.
4) Mentally unstable people, who are on YOUR side, should be armed.
5) A fancy hat will get you pretty far.
6) Fresh fruit makes a GREAT bribe when it comes to down and out spaceship crews.
7) Talking smack to someone with a gun in your face is terminally stupid.
8) A spaceship is NOT a democracy.
9) A firefly's engine makes a right handy still, if you know how.
10) Fox executives ARE the blue hand guys.

If someone offers to give you your money back and asks you to forget the whole thing, make sure you're not kneeling near a huge engine before you boldly state that you'll hunt him down and kill him.
Long cotton dresses have good air flow.
There are some really good bibles out there.
And some pretty good myths.
Some girls get really turned on by big engines.
Sometimes a man does something, realizes it wasn't right and has no choice but to fix it.
Put the call back switch closer to the part that has to be repaired.
Don't offer your wife to the Captain, he might feel obliged to take her into his bunk.
If it works out it was all part of the plan.
Firefly is a good design.

1) Remember to lock the doors of the ship when you leave it to go pick a fight with someone...
2) Install alarms on all the airlocks - just in case...

OK here's my "shiny" donations
It’s good to have cargo
Eating an ice-planet is problematic for a mind-reading genius.
If your sister is a ship, you probably had a complicated childhood.
Contemplating the wonders of your rock garden is just sitting.
The companion dating policy is complicated.
The day the money is good enough will be an interesting day.
If you hold prisoners for the Blue Hand guys and like your blood in your body don’t talk to them.
Getting pinched is what happens when you call the feds.
If the planet is coming up a might bit fast, your probably going down to quick.
If you select someone’s proposal than the honor you do them flatters their honor.
When you start drinking, and a girl gives you a pretty hat made out of a tree and starts to dance with you, you are signing up to have & to hold.
and when that same girl who has nice qualities tries to seduce you, your pilot & your companion, then sabotages your ship, and leaves you & your crew at the hands of those who would kill them even though she didn’t and she made you dinner, remember marriage is hard work & you shouldn’t give up.

Here we go:
1) Drop some money to save your ass, you get a town. Save someone's live, you get a hamster.
2) Hamsters is nice.
3) Mercy is the mark of a great man.
4) They don't like it when you shoot at them. Figured that one out myself.
5) Somewhere out there, there's a bullet with your name one it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.
6) Exercise, Prayer, sleeping on coffins: Everyone copes with death in different ways.
7) When you're in space, measuring time by the orbit of a planet that no longer exists doesn't make sense. It's also a good excuse not to get someone a birthday present.
8) If at first you don't succeed, kick the first guy into a jet engine, go on the the next guy, and try again.
9) "Don't" is just a short way of saying, "Manly and implusive."
10) Smuggling stuff in corpses is a time-honored, repulsive custom.

~pain is scary
~if two men with blue gloves on their hands come up to you, run away very fast because they either want to mess with your mind or they want to drain all the blood from your body 
~If a big, tall, muscluar man walks down the street with a wool cap with ear flaps and a pom-pom, you know he is not afraid of anything
~never save a girl's life, 'cause all she'll give you is a crappy hamster. Go drop money on a town, then, you'll get a town and your very own theme song
~people in hospitals are rich and happy
... but they dont smile a lot
~never kiss a girl on the lips... 'cause that will knock you out and then she will steal your ship
