Thanks Phoenixrose

I thought so too, and I do all I can to encourage it....no harm in it I figure, and early exposure can only mean an army of potential Browncoats. Figure though as their average age is 6 gotta keep the flag flying a while longer

....you ask every sci fi fan you see: "Have you seen Firefly"...

...You convert the local comic book store owners, and your friends dad.

...You have a Mal Microhero avatar on another forum.

...You patent the design for the Firefly Class transport.

...your prepared to write a fanfic when a year ago you would have died about the thought

...You take a 3D design course so you can work for Zoic and copy their high poly Serenity Mesh

...the meaning to life is: "Why are there two versions of the CGI Firefly class ship?"

...the RPG you write has a distinct 'verse feel to it (including the ship )

You learn to play 'the Hero of Canton' just so you can go along to your local 'jam night' and see if you can flush out any firefly/serenity fans, cause browncoats are the coolest.

you know exactly what note of the ballad of serenity you have to answer your cellphone by before the call goes to voicemail

I can so relate to this. The same goes for the 'Hero of Canton' song!!!

You are a Browncoat if......

You have a DVD night and spend the majority of it in half-screams with your best friend because you have just discovered she is a closet fan and you didn't know it.

Your at work and you mention you need to by a comic from the store (at nine in the morning) and the person next to you replies with "I have to by the Serenity comic". You then spend the next 8 hours of your shift in near hysteria talking everything FF, Serenity and Joss.

You spend the last 10 minutes of your shift bluetoothing the "Ballad of Serenity" and "Hero of Canton" to afore mention workmate.

You watch a Southern-accented movie, like Sweet Home Alabama, and all you can hear is Nathan's voice not that of the actual actors.

You own a bumper sticker that reads, "I am a leaf on the wind; watch how I soar."

Your uptight boss knows what you mean when you say, "Shiny!"

You waitress and say "Shiny!" to your tables searching for fellow browncoats.

You find yourself rummaging through your father's closet (i'm a girl) and taking out his huge Hawiian shirt before going to see Slither (just to see Nathan).

You see Slither and yell "Go Captian Tightpants!" in the theatre. Then you ponder what makes the Special Hell so gorram special.

Oh, i am a tweaked one, yes i am...

Okay, I'll try: Your a Browncoat if...
...You find yourself singing the firefly theme song at school...
...You randomly curse people out in Chinese...
...You work in said Chinese in everyday conversations...
...If you know all of the great-good-middlingly good quotes from all the episodes and the BDM by heart.

And I dragged my semi-browncoat boyfriend (though he did get annoyed when I kept quoting Firefly and then proceeded to tell him that Nathan "oozes sex-appeal from every pore").

...During your frenc writing exam the only name you could think of giving your made-up singer was "River Tam".

...Whenever you ask your friends to guess what you did last night they always answer "you watched Serenity" and they are always right.

... You've created a conversion chain-reacter (ie. You convert oen frind, who converst another, who converts another...)

... You have a firefly/serenity costume party for your 18th birthday.

...Simon guest-stars in all of your dreams, no matter what they're about.

...you have gone up to numerous people and told them that their coat is kind of a brownish colour. You yelled and hugged one of your converted friends when he replied "It was on sale"

...Despite being a Buffy fan of epic proportions you can't help looking at caleb and seeing Mal.

...You threatened to break up with your boyfiend of 18months after he told you never to use "faux chinese" again (All I said was "dong ma?")

...you quote from outtakes and bonus features as much as from actual episodes/BDM (see my name)

...For your boyfriend's first birthday since you've been together you get him the firefly series. Later that year you get him Serenity for Christmas.

...you're already planning setting up a Firefly society when you start university (Also, I'm going to try and blag my way into the already existant Chinese society)

That is exactly why I should never have kids.

That actually happens?! How dare they?!

I MUST know who that is! Someone, please tell me who she is so I can kill her!

Side note: My cousin, a huge Buffy fan, actually owns the firely series and hasn't watched it. Does that strike anyone as criminal?
