Wait for me! You know how long it usually takes us womenfolk to "put on our face", well at the advanced age of 53 (in July) it takes me a wee bit longer, provided I can remember where I put it! Gee, guess that makes me the matriarch of this happy, little ship (at least for now). So, please don't leave without me! I have new stories to share! My Browncoat is not old, it's just broken in and comfy -- doesn't squeak anymore. Well, at least the coat doesn't squeak anymore . . .

I'm hopelessly devoted to all things Firefly and Serenity. I shop! I buy all things devoted to same. Buffy, Angel, too. I'm helping the Whedon's put their kids through college!

My husband asked, "Are you ever going to stop crying when you watch this movie?" Guess I never will. As I said, I'm hopelessly devoted! Let's just hope that he never finds out about being in Jayne's bunk -- I can still dream, can't I?

Thank you, mphillips, for starting this thread. I'd be lurking forever if not for you. Consider yourself hugged! (Now, if someone could just show the old lady how to use these cute little emoticons . . . )

Hey, Rese, we're so glad you quit lurking and joined us.

Glad you already have a 'coat.

You can either type in the : + the word between or copy and paste it in the post where you want it to use the emoticons. I copy and paste, it's easier.

You can also get a cool pic by your name, say of Jayne by going up to the top to the place where it says MyFirefly and going to edit profile and adding an icon from the bottom right.

I'm a Mal gal myself, but I got a certain appreciation for Jayne.

Hey, AnnMTM, welcome to the 'verse.

*hands out a shiny Browncoat to AnnMTM*

You're gonna love it here and we are very glad to have you.
Make yourself to home and there will be lots of conversations and food ( well, protein in every color of the rainbow) along.

Ok... so I don't qualify to join your club but I'm just going to throw in a name suggestion?
How about grey patched browncoats or something similar.

Dark Angel, Firefly, Buffy, Angel, Enterprise, Farscape... anything else you'd like to cancel?

Reporting for duty. Here and 43. Nice to know there are others amongst the Browncoats of like persuasion.

1962 was a nice year to be born, as I remember it.

Here's a shout at you flywithmecaptn. I was born in '62, and Guns of Navarone was a favorite of my brother and I. Ah, the days before VHS and DVD, when you could only see movies like that after the ten o'clock news. Yet once, I must confess, I saw it on the big screen during the summer movie series at the Paramount here in Austin. So cool to see it as it were meant to be -- in all it's Cinemascoped glory.

OldFogey, I think we should be the Greycoat Division in the Browncoat Army. And yea, I want a patch to designate my belonging in it, cuz I'm proud of it!


The Grizzled Veterans. That's us.
