You push your grocery cart up and down the aisles for hours, but you just can't seem to find the product labeled "Wife Soup".

..... your (male) drama teacher reveals that he's ambidextrous, and you can't help but remark - "Came in handy when you were twelve." (Outtake by Alan Tudyk)
..... to this day you can't watch the bit of the movie when

Wash dies

..... a little girl comes up to you on the street to ask what the picture on your shirt means (it's the Serenity chinese symbol). What should have been a five or six word explanation turns into a desperate plea for her to get her mummy to buy the DVDs of both the series and the film. She promises to go ask.

You're watching your DVD of "Full Metal Jacket," and you get to that part of the film and you say, "What is Jayne doing in Vietnam? And why are they calling him Animal Mother?" Then you sit back and smile and nod, because it makes perfect sense.

Wow...first post on a Firefly/Serenity site ever!
I'm a bit of a newbie to the 'verse...but here goes-
You're a Browncoat if........
A few days after seeing the movie for the first time, you're able to quote it directly and at length.
You get into a heated battle with your twelve year old little brother about how the Alliance is NOT ripped off of Star Wars....(Star Wars Alliance=good, Serenity Alliance=bad) because he refuses to watch the movie...
You used "Gorram" and "shiny" twice each the day after seeing the movie.
You spend hours doing extra chores (if you still live with your parents) because it'll get you that much more cashy money to get the complete DVDs of the show and movie, so that you'll finally know what all the more experienced Browncoats are talking about...(I must confess ignorance to the whole juggling geese thing 
)
You're taking advantage of your family's MoviePass with Blockbuster to keep the rented copy of Serenity until you can buy your own
You're choreographing a modern/Irish step dance to the end credit music...(
)
You've already got a Firefly fanfic going and are currently working up the courage to post it.
You suddenly realize that songs you've been listening to for years have hidden Firefly-related meanings...and promptly find ways to work them into your fanfic.
You realize that you are now part of another fantasy and/or sci-fi dorkdom (as my sister calls them)...in addition to being a Potterhead, Ringer (Lord of the Rings), Trekkie, etc...and feel ridiculously happy about it.
You tell your parents about the above revelation and they cry in despair...
You resolve to convert your fellow X-Files fans into Browncoats because, after all, Fox betrayed X-Files too...they just waited to gain our trust first...
You are shocked to hear that your best friend, who has a complete Buffy DVD set and almost all of Angel and who also worships Joss Whedon, has never heard of Serenity OR Firefly...and promptly insisted upon her watching the movie..
New to the 'verse but ready and more than willing to learn...

..... every song you hear is now "So Wash" or "So Simon/Kaylee" or "So Mal", and so on.
..... you have actually written a Firefly sonnet, and can't believe you haven't mentioned it before.

Yes! My husband and I were watching FMJ and there's a scene where the soldiers are looking down at the bodies of the dead and Animal Mother utters an unforgettable line. He's holding his gun, ammo crisscrossing his chest, and GRENADES hanging off his vest! I just looked at my husband who was probably thinking the same thing judging by the grin on his face. I laughed, "Hey, it's young Jayne!" I mean, it's like looking at Jayne's past even though he says he never fought in no war.
Mal: We're still flying.
Simon: It's not much.
Mal: It's enough.

You are man, but you still watched Lifetimes "Window on the Hill" for Jewel Saite. I consider it my greatest personal sacrifice for the cause to this day.

When reprimanding a student who will not be quiet, you say, "You're on the raggedy edge of getting a referral."
You have a five disc DVD player and three Firefly episodes and Serenity are always in it.
You wear a Firefly tee shirt under your school sweatshirt, and feel wicked because it says,"On September 30, violence is going to ensue".
You listen obsessively to the Signal, Firefly Talk, and Week in Whedon, on your hour and a half commutes.
You gloat because you get to cross Jayne Avenue twice each school day.
You give copies of Serenity to people who probably aren't remotely interested, but you still have hope.
You finally found a Browncoat group in your town.
You fall asleep almost every night watching Safe or Jaynestown.

besides the every day comments of 'Shiny' and saying 'y'all' instead of the correct queens english. I play EVe online. All my ships are called Firefly (Serenity would be to obvious), I talk in the local chat channel like Mal reynolds and I never shut up about Firefly to other players 'Hey you are a new player, do you like Firefly' lol. If they say yes and I say 'my fave episode is Out Of gas', I then get no response. I realise then they don't get it :(

You say "zu fu ni" when someone sneezes.
Yes. Yes, I do. Almost as soon as I found out wheat it meant I started. Might not be totally correct usage, but I don't give a good gorram!
Ah, yes. And if saying "gorram" and "shiny" are second nature to you. Hee.

One day.
One plan.
One army of Browncoats.
On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.
