... you tickle your girlfriend while she drowses on your chest and tell her "sleepiness is weakness of character, ask anyone" with a grin.

... you manage to work in, with the same girlfriend, "here lies ***, my autumn flower," light smack on the bum, giggle giggle, "somewhat less attractive now that she's all corpsified and gross..." and then said girlfriend, right on cue despite never having seen the episode, creams you with a pillow.

... you sing Hero of Canton at the top of your lungs while driving back to school.

... your Browncoat little sister, whom you just converted, joins in. Your Browncoat father, another recent convert, just rolls his eyes at the two of you.

Semper Paratus, mac.

You are a Browncoat if.... you want a long brown coat. As I indeed do!

For what it's worth I thought I'd drop this link in here.

If the color Brown makes you really happy & the color Blue makes you really nervous.

If people no longer ask what "Shiny" "Gorrammit", or "Rutting" means because you've already explained it several times.

If any any of the following websites are in your favorites folder www.fireflyfans.net, www.serenitymovie.com, or www.browncoats.com.

If you have ever uttered the phrase “I’m a leaf on the wind,” while driving.

If you have ever rummaged through a thrift store to find an long brown coat, a pair of coveralls, a western style toy gun & holster, or plastic dinosaurs.

If you have ever found yourself humming "The Hero of Canton“ or "The Ballad of Serenity", and thought "If I hum louder maybe I'll meet another Browncoat!"

If you are no longer trying to curse in Chinese, it just comes naturally.

If you've seen any of the following movies and could care less who the "star" of the show was. The Matrix Reloaded, I-Robot, Independence Day, Saving Private Ryan, or Dodgeball.

If when you visit the local DVD store you feel compelled to walk by the "F" section.

If you were really mad at Joss Whedon for several days & got over it, because after all "In Joss We Trust." Than this just might be the shirt for you.....

You're insanely jealous of people who are in the process of watching the BDS / BDM for the first time....

You finish up a successful conference call with 10 people on the other side of the world and accidentally say "shiny!" only to be met with dead silence....

You've sat in meetings from hell and fervently wished you could break out the device the blue hands' dudes have that liquifies everyone's insides....



OK, I need that in captain dummy talk

Your work email signature has a reference to Serenity/Firely (which you forget about) and forward an email to the CEO of your company - coincidentally called Alliance.

While working on a play, you and a fellow browncoat start talking about putting on a Firefly play, and begin discussing who would play which BDH. You get Simon

... while on a school holiday to Italy, you get really homesick. To cheer you up, your friend (who will not be converted, no matter how hard you try) offers to listen to you describe Firefly. You instantly pull a folder out of your overflowing suitcase - filled with scripts, pictures and fanfics. You then realise you can't watch the DVDs - and have to settle for reading the scripts in your best character voices - and acting out your favourite scenes. And singing the theme tune, and Hero of Canton. You completely forget you were ever sad.

Sadly - she still refuses to watch the DVDs you offer her. Ahh well - I'll get her one day. She thinks Sean is cute.

20 conversions and counting!!!

{Pardon for the break-in...TalynDerre, is that Semper Paratus a reference to the Coast Guard?}

To the theme of the post:

You loan out your Firefly DVD in the hopes of converting a friend, but after a day, you begin to pine for your DVDs...hoping the friend is taking good care of them...

Tristan, I feel just the same... I loaned my copy of the BDM to my sister (who has her own copy of the series) and I miss it so much...

Well, Eloisa, the good news is that I happen to have two copies of the BDM (people knew what to get me for Xmas!), so I know it's there when I need it...but the series...it's out there all by it's lonesome, doing it's best to spread the love...it's like sending out your kids for school the first time (I would imagine, not having kids of my own).
I know they'll be back.
