Aw, heck. Make it ANY Firefly moment.

---

Got in MY Firefly moment.

We were heading out to take my kids to the Crayola factory for the day since most everyone had off for the holiday. (Yay for Lincoln and Washington) My mom, dad and sis were coming with me and the two kids, and we were taking two cars. So my dad brought along his walkie-talkies...

My sister grabs one and says, "Testing."

So, of course, not being one to miss an opportunity, I quipped from her side...

"'Cause I'm standing right HERE."

My mom and sister started cracking up right there in the middle of the driveway. Even my dad got in a little chuckle.

It's even better than that because my sister got the joke, and she's not even really into Firefly!!!

Well I don't really have any super good ones yet, but I guess my favorite is when my Uncle Mike recently came up, he was reading my Chinese translations, he goes "you shouldn't be reading these, let alone be saying them" so I said "well if I give you a copy you can yell at all the people at work, even over the intercom" That presuaded him to not annoy me anymore. When my Uncle Jim comes up in a few weeks I'm going to yell at him in Chinese...that should get a reaction.

"Oh no what could it be? We're all going to die. Who's flying this thing? Oh right, that would be me, back to work"

The special hell line/scene can be manipulated into some pretty funny moments. It's even funny for someone who isn't a Browncoat. It's stumbled out of my mouth more than twice.

Also... I can kill you with my brain.

I was sitting with the friend who converted me, at a book signing (Terry Pratchett) when from behind us we heard, "If you talk over Mr. Pratchett you're going to the special hell. The one reserved for child molesters and people who talk at the cinema."

We looked at one another and turned to look at the guy who spoke. We ended up talking Firefly and Serenity anticipation until it was his turn to get his stuf signed. That was a good night.

And just last night my sister and I made a cake for desert. I couldn't help but mention how I'd made the frosting as chocolatey as possible.

"Putting the Me in Mercinary, Jayne Cobb."

Oh Firefly moments...I can't pick a best one...but here are a few:

While I was sitting in the front row waiting for church to start my friend, Justin, who was up front getting ready to play guitar, snapped his head in my direction right as the service was about to start, stared at me and said "Also, I can kill you with my brain." I almost lost it right there, it was so random and hilarious.

My boyfriend's little sister and I were insulting each other in Spanish (all in good fun- I was helping her practice conjugating verbs) when finally she couldn't think of a good comeback in Spanish and said "You wanna go?" to which I replied without missing a beat "Only if it's someplace with candle light." She was like "what?!"- it was great.

In the bloopers for the BDM there's one where Nathan Fillion is standing outside the crashed ship on Miranda and he looks down and says in a rather depressed tone "I've seen so much death..." and then starts dancing! My friend Justin now feels the need to imitate this every time there is a significant break in the conversation.

I get The Hero of Canton song stuck in my head ALL THE TIME and if I'm in a good enough mood, will often sing it aloud.

Proof that we all need to sing our Firefly songs more often. It may turn up a fellow Browncoat at any hour of the day.

My goodness we're everywhere aren't we?

Well I don't know if I've ever had a real moment, there was one time one of my brother's was over, we were watching tv and I made a firefly quote (can't remember which one.) He recognized it, but immediately got angry and went on about how stupid I was to quote from the show... well I won't go on about that, my brother has anger management issues. He could work for Niska and feel right at home.

I've noticed since the show, especially since the movie I've seen the word ensue(s/ed) being used everywhere, I mean everywhere, the paper, News, even other shows. Coincidence?

Maybe this is the closest to qualify. Today my father was watching the Olympic hockey match between russia and the states and he says look at the Russian team memeber, and look at his ears. Course my dad is not one to clarify, in this house you need a little Riveresque esp to know what he's saying, so of course my reaction is which one? (Red/Russian-White/USA uniforms) Instead the old man says "See where I'm pointing?" Ya, so I had my near Firefly moment.

If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting

We were having a family dinner and everyone was around, my fiance and I were mock arguing about something, and he was talking over me, without letting me get a word in edgewise, so I grabbed his hand looked him straight in the eye and said

"Remember that sex we were planning to have? EVER AGAIN?"

And he shut up.

Everyone else stared for a second before bursting out laughing.

First, howdy from Bluffton, SC, just a few miles across the border. Good to see another Browncoat in the area.

Second, I haven't had many opportunities for Firefly moments, but I had a pretty funny one yesterday at work. Yesterday was a rainy day so we had our umbrellas. The coworker that I am in contact the most with is much smaller than me; I'm a pretty big dude. Anyway, I was taking a break, getting away from the computer for a couple minutes, and I noticed our umbrellas and said "I'm much bigger than you by far, but your umbrella is a lot bigger than mine. Does that seem right to you?" Modified, sure, but I laughed about it.
