I've bought about eleven copies of Firefly from Amazon. I think I may have gotten around the 5 copies limit by having them sent to friends all over the country, rather than having them mailed to my home address. Or, maybe they instituted the 5 copy limit fairly recently, after I had purchased them. At any rate, try having them shipped to a different address (like your friend's) and see if that works.
Jayne: Why'd you guys order a dead guy?

I think I ordered about a dozen copies of Serenity from amazon.com, before Xmas, as gifts. This must be a recent thing, this '5 only' limit.

No such luck. But thanks for all the recommendations (and condemnations
). I think I'll just go buy it locally. Annoying, as I'll have to pay a lot more for it, but...

hey Unsardonic.... you keep it sweet, beet!!!
"But what about these geeks a-gawkin' at me?"
...and, while we're at it (Ah-Clem, shift your gear from 'Bozo' to 'Giant Rat,' a-NOW)
"What about reality?..."
"...tell the President to put it between two slices of..."
"stupid, inbred stacks of meat"
...I mean,
"BREAD! ...and EAT IT! Eat it RAW!!"
"RAW, RAW, RAH! THAT'S... the kind of spirits we have here at..." "More sugar, for more science at..." "...Stupid, Inbred Stack of"... BEET "High"
Whew... I don't believe I've seen a larger, more convolutedlyly garbled pile of twisted Firesign references ever... I'm proud o' myself. Well... I suppose I may owe 'em a royalty or two...
Listen - if anyone doesn't get where my signature originally came from (and thinks, perhaps, that this "poor-unfortunate"... might be a tad... ummm... {how you say, yankee-round-eye?} anti-social(??);
...the deal is that the "Stupid, inbred stack of meat" gag is from a scene in the BDM that made me laugh for, fully, 48 hours after I figured it out. Yeah-yeah, I know some of you know, but... for those that don't:
...the scene is, I'm pretty sure, the only scene wherein any of our BDH's actually sits down to read a book (since River corrected Book's Bible, anyway). And, who should be performing this (abovementioned) pastoral activity but, ahem... Jayne. He sits in the lounge reading a book with Chinese characters on the back cover. Pinyinary translates those characters as meaning, "Buy this book or your friends will think you're a stupid, inbred stack of meat"... which, designation, I'm sure, Jayne was rather anxious to avoid having applied to his, rather imposing, carcass - I mean, "stack of meat(!)"... whew...
So, was that sweet, Dayve-beet? The way I see it, if Joss came up with it, it redefines "Sweet"
Now... I suddenly feel like a rousing viewing of "Eraserhead" while listening to my definitive collection of antique "Scraping-Fetus-Off-the-Wheels" albums. Or, maybe, lunch
