It's getting to the point now that I can't hear some words without them being said the way they were on Firefly - for example:

'Skimp' always reminds me of 'I know the accommodations would be lavish, Atherton doesn't skimp'

And the one that's been running through my mind today is 'standard' - from Shindig, Banning Miller's friend to Kaylee:
'Last year's was better'
'Really, what did they have then?'
'Standards'

Still, it gets me through the day with a smile on my face

Every time I eat with chopsticks - I've said that before, but most folk do that only when they eat Chinese food. The other day I did it with egg noodles in butter with garlic and basil - more Italian than Chinese. I have yet to eat tomatoes, but there's still time.

When this song came on and part of the chorus was "I need serenity." Very fitting.
And when I (hehe) cursed out my brother in Chinese. Not sure what I said but it sounded good.

Well, we might all be a little whimsical in the brain-pan but I'd rather live in Firefly's 'verse than most places...

I've taught my sister the meaning of "ta ma duh"

And i've found myself to use 'shiny' once in a while...

Mercy is the mark of a great man... *stab*

Yeah, me too. Ever wonder what you'd be doing in the Firefly 'verse? Now that would be a shiny thread to start - where you would like to be versus where you would likely be in the Firefly 'verse. Great alias, by the way

Just last night, a song came on during the local sportscast that MY SISTER said sounded like Firefly. I only wish I could tell you which one it was.

I used the word "shiny" to described my sister's proposed path from where we live to Rochester, MN, taking every back route she knows to avoid gridlock. Sounded like a course Wash would set up to avoid the Feds.

The idea of military folk using Fireflyisms is a comfortable one.

I remember back in the day, jobbing out on an airplane and being the second-to-last specialist packing up a toolbox and turning to the last unfortunate who was either burning up or freezing their tuckus off and saying "... Ensign, you have the con."

Any situation involving something that you'd never touched before demanded a "... Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor - not a slurpy machine mechanic!"

Gotta love good writing. And I'm using fireflyisms every day. This morning on the phone with a customer it was, "Gorramit! I'll call my installer and see where he is." Imagine my delight when the customer said, "Calm down, Jayne." (my name is Barbara)

We're everywhere!

Gee thanks. I just spewed hot tea all over my computer screen, keyboard and hands.

That was funny :) Question ... was that wife soup?

Driving home from work this afternoon, listening to Siouxsie & the Banshees, The Killing Jar comes on, and she's singing about fireflies.

Quote:
Down where this ugly man
Seeks his sustenance
Down in the blue, midnight flare
A glass hand cuts through the water
Scything into his twisted roots
Then from his eyes
Spring fireflies
Breathing life
Into a roaring disguise

I've eaten Chinese chicken salad using chopsticks twice in two weeks. Have to get a set I can keep at work. I'd bring my stainless steel set, but with my luck they'd vanish, get used as stir sticks in the kitchen or something.

Every year about this time, the Today show runs a series called "Where in the world is Matt Lauer." Matt travels around the world and makes the Today show staff guess where he is. Today he was on camera and said something like "We'll be right back with Where in the World." I could tell he wasn't too keen on adding his name to it, but in my mind I really wanted him to say...

"Where in the world is MEEEEEEEE."

OH! So bad, I could TASTE it!
