My best moment however, was with a phone customer, but I posted it not long ago so most everyone's read it already. But just today, Boss and I were arguing as usual, me making suggestions and him shooting me down and I said, without thinking about it, "There's times I think you don't take me seriously."

He just raised his eyebrows and waited for it, so I had to go on and say, "I think that aughta change."

In FLAWLESS Mal, he looks straight back at me and says, "Think it's likely to?"

My boss is a master at impressions. It scared me.

Actually the best moment so far belongs to my 13 year old, who told a local ned that he "wasn't burdened with an overabundance of schooling"..........yep made me smile.

"This movie may be a beautiful butterfly, but I loved that damn caterpillar." Joss Whedon.

My best firefly moment made me look like a complete psycho to the people I was with, but it was hilarious. We were sitting around my house discussing what to do that night. Conversation went like this.

Jesse: Where do you all want to go tonight?

Me: I say we go to the Brickskellar (an expensive bar with $8 beers)

Morgan: Haha, yeah right, you buyin'?

Me: huh...Am I a lion? I don't think of myself as a lion...although you could say I have a mighty roar.

(Morgan and Jesse look at each other in confusion)

Me: What?

Morgan: are you BUYING?

Me: (trying to feign misunderstanding) Ohhh....I thought...hmm..that's weird.

(then I proceed to bust out laughing amazed at how spontaneously I recited that line)

All of these are great.

I work in a Nursing Home as an aide. Needless to say i am ALWAYS saying 'Gorramn it' But this isn't that. On Sundays we will get some church group there to either sing or just talk with the residents, it's really sweet.
This one time I was bringing a resident out to hear them sing and as I am walking passed the Charge Nurse turns to me and says, "Oh Railean the man is giving a great sermon, you should listen to it before you run off."

Without missing a beat can you guess what I responded with?

"Sermons make me sleepy."

It was great.

Every now and then the bosses are out of the facility and I get to be boss, (They are required to post a memo and everything). So today someone had to ask about the chain of command.
Well, you know the rest.

Jayne: I was gonna get me an ear too.

Glad this thread came back to the top today, because I've had a moment!

All four of us here at work are fans, me more than the others.
In the inventory database, we can attach notes to items - Out of Stock; New Edition Due; etc

I'm cleaning the database, and clicking on notes- I found- "How do we know unless we question it?" on a title that may or may not be going out of print;

"We are coming close to true stupidity here" on a title that was mis-ordered repeatedly (Anybody need five copies of Lonely Planet Bhutan);

"Tell him we're gonna talk this through, eh?" on something we don't want to carry but the boss thinks we should have.

There were 9 or 10 others I can't remember off the top of my head.

I'm responsible for maybe 1/3, but NOT ALL!

My coolest firefly story occured not but 3 weeks ago. I was sitting on my couch particularly depressed one cold, rainy night. The month of May saw much rain this year in New York. This caused sadness and despair to many. I found myself totally alone, and the melancholy began to overcome me. I wept for some time before realizing I had some crack left in some old stems I had forgotten about. I leaped for joy as I ran toward the crack stems, knowing soon it would soon all be better. As I approached the Serenity DVD which housed my beloved stems I was ecstatic to see I had actually left my crack stems and more crack as well!!!! I then returned to my couch and played that Serenity DVD as I proceeded to smoke my newfound crack rock. What had begun as a cold, rainy night transformed into a wonderland of crack and Serenity.

Some friends were having a bbq to celebrate making the first batch of their home made wine.
As the night drew on the women gathered in one area the guys in another.
There was me, 5 others in knew and one guy (Alan) I had never seen or spoken to before.
We were drinking the wine (which was actually pretty good) and I made the comment that it tasted like Mudder's Milk. The 5 I knew all looked at me thinking I said Mother's Milk and wondered what the hell I was on. Alan laughed hard and said heroes shouldn't drink this, they only have the good stuff.

3 hours later we were still standing in the same spot having talked Firely all night. The other 5 had left us alone coz their lame and wouldn't know a top show if it was beamed directly to their brains.

When Serenity opened he was one of the gang to go.

Chris may I guess you're a marine?

Anyway, my best Firefly moment happened in class. A student in my class is humming and I usually make them stop anything that's distracting, but as I listen for a second I realize he's humming Ballad of Jayne and I break up laughing and finish for him. He alomost fell out of his chair...This is the same student who ended up with 100 extra credit points ( 50 for seeing Serenity and 50 for when writing his essay including references from Firefly)

You're only young once, but you can be immature any time!

Ex-Army, for future reference, you can distinguish services between their war grunts:

Hooah = Army
Hoorah/Oorah = Marines
Hooyah = Navy

I think the Air Force also goes by Hooah, not too sure, though. Anyways, that was an old sig from when I was still very nostolgic for American military life. I'm a Browncoat now.

They say I am a sinner and seducer, they try to put the blame on me, but I don't give a fuck for the way they see

Stand up and you'll win, surrender and you'll lose, it's heads or tails, you have to choose.

Heads or tails, which way will you choose? Die or live, surrender or fight? Wild and free, together we'll stand, strong and proud, we will claim our right.
