Haha, it turns out I may qualify, after all.
Okay, so I do some Ministerial work (and no, don't say, "Keep walking, preacher-man", cuz I ain't gonna go anywhere, lol). And I was drafting some sort of positional paper today. Being totally crazy about River, and I really mean utterly smitten, plus having spent half the day here among my fellow browncoats, I find myself writing this:
"The soul is that (psychic) part of our creation that was made in the image of God, invisible and not of the material, and what constitutes the real man."
I stared at it; it looked off somehow; but I could, for the life of me, not put my finger on it. Then, after 5 minutes, I finally saw it: I meant "spiritual", instead of "psychic". LOL
Oh Gawd, it's gotten bad! :) Arghhh.

Ok, so I'm midway through "Wild West Week" at my daycare. On Thursday we're having a "wear your cowboy clothes day". Since I'm the resident artist at my job (don't ask), they asked me to design a sign to keep the parents informed. So I made the sign...and subtley added in GIANT blue letters:
"Mighty Fine Shindig!"

At Hollywood Video I picked up 2 previewed copies of Serenity along with another DVD. The cashier asked, "Do you know you've got two of the same movie?" I of course took that opportunity to spread the word. Yes, it has affected us.

Yes, I'm definitely into this.
OK, I'm ROTFL on that one. (grin)
I've taught the elementary school kids on my bus route the Firefly theme song.
I say "shiny" and "gorrammit" a lot. Occasionally by accident on the radio.
My coworkers think I am insane.
My best friend whose disc set we watched noted, "I like the show, but you are OBSESSED."
The kicker? My 8 year old's exclamation at the dinner table when he was saying grace and forgot part of the prayer:
"Dammit, mal, I forgot my line!"
(from the FF wrap-party reel)
Think I likley qualify.
Oh yeah, and for days afer watching the show, none of us can seem to break out of the lingo. Honest, I got more book learnin' than to say "ain't".

Also, I have committed the ultimate act of fandom and completed my unholy trilogy of Whedon-inspired tattoos. That's right kiddies: I have a sweet tattoo of my girl and yours - Serenity - on my back that says Browncoat underneath. Hey - some people juggle geese.
Just another excuse for me to initiate my passel of critters: like wearing my Jayne hat on Crazy Hat Day...

Um, where did you get a Jayne hat and who designed that tattoo? i am thinking about being brave and getting one....

I preface this statement with the fact that
A) I come from a rural, hunting type family
B) I am a disabled veteran
C) I have worked, in my life, with some very scary people...
I preface all this because I own firearms...not a ton...less than 10...anyway, I add this disclaimer because people think guns and think psycho many time...i dont think I am, but guns are part of my family and what I grew up with...
but, anyway, my brother in law just recently got a new gun for christmas, and the families were all together, and he and I were talking about trying to find time to go shooting together...our wives (sisters) were going on about some such stuff, and the kids (my son, his daughter, ages 4 and 3 respectively) were playing in the living room at our feet...
It is then that I hear my niece say:
"My daddy got a new rifle..."
To which my son looks her straight in the face and replies...
"My daddy has the captain's gun from firefly..."
Sure enough I had just gotten a ruger blackhawk (revolver) with a 7.5" barrel to be my backup bush gun...being who I am, and without thinking, I replied...
"Actually son, this one is more like Jayne's..."
and he looked at me like, hmm, ok, and went back to playing....

Well, you're not the first one to tell me that, though you are the first to tell me to do that for that reason. I think you're right though, even though you were kidding
.Wacky fun!

BELOWZERO:
I got the Jayne hat here:

And the tattoo was Serenity in line art that I actually picked up in the blue sun room here aeons ago. (I don't remember who originally drew it, sorry). The Browncoat part was my design.

I made 20 decks of Blue Sun Tall Cards and specially shrink wrapped them. I gave them away as Christmas presents to my family and friends. I am now steadily working on turning my pinball machine into a Firefly one.
No, I am not insane, I am crazy. Thank you for asking.
