A lot of the time I see Firefly quotes where they ain't. Somebody the other day said "hell... I want to live!" and I just assumed they were misquoting Kaylee (they weren't, I asked).

Sometimes my exwife comes out with something that's almost a word-for-word Firefly quote and (when I bother to tell her) it annoys her no end: she hates the way I'm so obsessed with the show, so it skeeves her to discover she's inadvertently quoting it.

Two mad teenagers running around the house, making a hell off a racket had me yelling "one of you two is gonna fall and die and I'm not cleaning it up!" It didn't work.

I say 'gorram' and 'shiny' all the time. And 'special hell'.

Has a kinda poetry to it.

I try not quote it all the time, for no reason. I mean, Zoe's terse. I can be terse. But no power in the 'verse can stop me once I get started.

I have a habit of saying some people juggle geese. It's a good segway into telling people about the 'verse. I try to work a qoute into just about every conversation. I'm a bit of wierdo though so most people just nod and laugh.

An I carried such a torch

I use "ruttin", "gorram" and "shiny" occasionally. I had occasion a few years back to use Jaynes "Shake your head! Your eyes is stuck!" line on a young guy at the airport who would not stop staring at me(there were no statues of me around.. he was just a weirdo).

I did the best one ever tonight. I tried to remember it, but its not exact... you've got to first realise that my friends mock-argue a lot and also, that most of them don't like Firefly

Anyway, it went as below

Friend: *Random insult*
My female friend: *Pretends to cry*
Me: Don't worry, he makes everyone cry, he's a monster."
Friend: That was from Firefly, wasn't it? Stop quoting that damned program...
Me: Your mouth is talking, you better look into that.
Friend: Im cooler than you, that makes me king.
Me: You know what the chain of command is? Its a chain I go get and beat you with till im in charge.

He just looked at me after that and said. "Those were all firefly quotes wern't they?" Hehe.

Wacky times.

I'm using 'Shiny' and 'gorram' quite a bit now, and the Chinese gets quite an outing at work since I'm not allowed to swear without getting written up. And one day when our computer system kept slowing down and crashing had me muttering that the situation was "begining to damage my calm."

With my Firefly friendly friends, I'm more likely to quote it more.

I used to say "SHINY" all the time until once when my baldheaded preacher shook my hand and asked how I was doing. I said "SHINY" and I believe he thought I was referring to his head. I may be going to the "Special Hell" after that one.
