Whoa there - are you thinking "plant" as in a factory or workshop for the manufacture of a particular product? I was thinking any of a kingdom (Plantae) of multicellular eukaryotic mostly photosynthetic organisms typically lacking locomotive movement or obvious nervous or sensory organs and possessing cellulose cell walls.

Am I taking you too seriously? I have a gorram sinus headache, and am a might techy right now...

I'd rather be a smartass than a dumbass...

Maybe in Joss's universe, the bad guys wear hats, and the geeks wear blue jeans.

In Jaynestown there may have been some mudders who wore denim, but they were so covered in mud it was hard to tell what they had on.

Like the guy singing Jayne's lament. His hat looks like a used coffee filter. Maybe coffee filters are the new denim in the future.

Joss might have avoided denim on account of it being so ubiquitous today. It would help give the show sort of an other worldly feel.
Who knows,everything could change in the future with the invention of the spandex gin. :)

It's not hard to do...

You are more better with the polysyllabic verbery than I, but I'm at least vaguely down with the whole cotton=denim reality deal (never have fully grasped the weaving thing, though). But I had an irrepressible urge to make a contribution to the thread, and I thought "Gee, would it not be the height of hilarity to sort of pretend like denim is mined...?" Hard to believe in hindsight, I grant you...but that was the general flow of thought. I am starting to think I may have misoverestimated the Yuk Factor a bit...

Good luck with the headache - that sinus stuff is no fun.

It reeked of cordite and whimsy when we got here!

When did S&H Geen Stamps disapear. No one told me.
Damn my tongue turned green licking those things. I may still have some items purchased with those things lying around here. It would have made an interesting episode if someone would have attempted to pay May with Green Stamps instead of the pouch of platinum they kept tossing him. What was with that. They never just handed Mal the pouch. They always tossed it.

There is your answer to denim. They are to busy mining for platinum to bother mining for denim. I bet when the platinum runs out the denim mines will soon open.

No, no. I get it now. Thought it was humor, but wasn't sure of myself on that one. I'm just really slow sometimes. See I'd rather be a smartass than a dumbass, but that's really because I'm a dumbass wishing I was a smartass.

And as for my verbosity, can't take credit for that... gotta love www.merriam-webster.com for that one...

Thanks for the good luck wish w/my headache

I can remember my grandma collecting them 30+ years ago...and I have absolutely no recollection of anything she redeemed them for...but she was diligent about the deal.

I'd like to think that - if Firefly had got the 10 yr.+ run it so richly deserved (deserves) - there'd eventually have been a story involving the recovery of a bundle of filled-up, well-preserved S&H Green Stamp books...and/or the knocking-over of a redemption center.

And that's a day the platinum-pants-wearing masses are right eager to see!

It was cheap wallets and cutlery sets when we got here!
