Gobluegirl,

Scots do actually have a second person plural. Often when drunkenly issuing challenges to an imprudently large number of opponents.

"See youse? Youse are all fuckin' claimed*."

Pardon my French, but swearing is necessary in certain contexts.

*Claim (v. transitive) - to accost a person for the purposes of imminent violence, (or a "square go".)


Example, Begbie in Trainspotting. Until River arrived, the beer glass over the balcony was the most gratuitous start to a bar fight in film.

Gixxer,

Really like the second person plural. And love "claimed".



With 17,586 votes our Cap'n is in the lead with
43% to Mr. Ford's 42%. Interesting vote.

They put a nice picture of the Cap'n above the vote too from the Slither premiere, so all and all good advertising for the Cappy and for us.

Hey, look. Serenity is on their new poll. We must all vote. I shall start a new thread.

Op: You're fighting a war you've already lost.
Mal: Yeah, well I'm known for that.

You know, it's interesting. 10 minutes into seeing Serenity (since it was my first exposure into the Firefly 'verse), I turned to my husband and said, "Boy, is he like a young Harrison Ford/Han Solo type or what?"

If anyone should take up the Indy role, it should be Fillion. There isn't anyone else up to it. And Ford is getting a might ancient to be running around with a whip and getting into trouble.

"Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you."

I'm sure it's been said before, but what would you guys think of a Sean Connery as Indy's Dad, Harrison Ford as Indy, and Nathan Fillion as Indy Jr./III? I think that would satisfy everyone.

If anyone gets nosy...Shoot em.
Shoot em sir?
Politely.
