I ran into a friend I haven't seen for a logn while about two days ago. Turns out he's married with a child now. Guess the child's name? It was a baby girl named "Serenity", and sure enough, he named her after the ship from everyone's favorite Sci-Fi/Western. We talked about the series and movie for a few minutes afterwards.

Have you ever:
Used your teeth as wire strippers?
Given yourself stitches?
Made improvised munitions with no base supplies?
Pissed in a canteen?
Gone a month without bathing?

If so, you MIGHT just be a !HOOAH MOTHERF*CKER!

I often look after my two year old nephew, and am known to quote "Firefly" at any given moment, but I didn't realize how much until recently.

I was changing his diaper, and apparently had made a face, because he looked me straight in the face and said "Don't make faces." A la River...and then he burst out giggling.

I sword fight a lot, so i get to use "it takes less than a pound of force to cut skin" from Inara in Shindig.

Figures - first time in the Core, and what do I get to do? Dig through trash. Why couldn't he send me shopping at the Tri-plex, or... Ooh! Synchronizers!

I thought you were going to say that he snapped his head in your direction right as the service was about to start, stared at you and SANG, "JAYNE! The man they call Jayne!" Now THAT would have had me rolling the the aisles!!

LOL! That would have been amazing! But no- he is, however, trying to write a song about Inara that's pretty outrageous. For it he's invented the word "smwhore" which, he tells me, means "smart whore." I was like, "you're worse than Mal..."

Oh boy.. I'm always slipping FF quotes into every day life.. Can't think of a really good one though..

Uh.. There was one time at work when I was chatting to a co worker in the storeroom. I love chatting away as long as we work at the same time. It makes the prospect of lifting and carrying heavy boxes more appealable. As we were talking, a female co worker walked in and commented on the amount of yapping. In response, I said: "I can be terse. Once in high school, I was laconic."

When my niece (nearly 3), sister and mum came to visit one time, I walked into the front room and saw my niece's toys scattered around. I turned to my mum and my sister and said: "Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?"

And I slipped: "I'm babbling like a moonbrain" into a conversation once, with someone who knows that I love Firefly. They asked if it came from the show. Still haven't been successful in introducing them to it though.

I recently curated a history exhibition at the museum where I work. We had a team meeting during installation that became rather tense because time was running short, people were getting frustrated, and I was asking them to do two days work in two hours. (And yes, there was red paint involved!) I ended it with Mal's "...that ain't helpin' me out or takin' your leave..." speech from Serenity. Three of the four folks I was working with are Browncoats, so they started laughing. It broke the tension.

More of a Serenity moment, but here goes...

At my work, work-in-process bins have paper tags to identify them, attatched by large springy binder clips. I work in shipping, and these binder clips seem to accumulate at an alarming rate on my desk. And I asked myself, "What can I do with all these spare clips....?"

There's now a box on my desk, labeled "Rear Hatch"

MAL "You only gotta scare him."
JAYNE "Pain is scary..."

I had a Serenity moment today, I work at a medical imaging company that deals with PACS (Picture Archival & Communication System). There was an impromptu meeting going on in a cube when one of the directors said, "It's the PACS". I responded with "The G-32 paxilon hydrochlorate added to the air processors?" I got a few strange looks but I thought it was funny.

How funny, I was prompted to sign on today (after some absence) due to a Kaylee moment!'

I ate strawberries today--the first since last year! They were delicious... A very Kaylee moment I wanted to share with y'all. I told my one coworker who likes Firefly--but she has clearly not watched it in so long 'cause I had to explain to her about the pilot and shindig strawberries and the expression on Kaylee's face! I'm hoping to get her Serenity and burn some Firefly disks for her as thank yous for some favors she's done for me (currently taping all the olympic figure skating for me since I don't have tv!) so hopefully that will fix her memory...

Cheers, Amylisai
