Props, hails, kudos, back-pats, and other forms of appreciation to Randall Munroe.

He has, once again, appealed to the Browncoat in all of us ('coz let's face it, folks, there's a little bit of Browncoat in EVERYTHING that lives and breathes) with the newest dose of virtual hilarity that is XKCD. I can't link directly to the strip 'coz it's a PNG and won't show up here, but here's a page link: http://xkcd.com/577/

You will notice the 'To be continued....' in the last panel. I wonder if this is something we (XKCD addicts and non-addicts alike) ought to be keeping an eye on just for shits and giggles - the latter especial.

Is it odd that for EVERYTHING I love to the point of obsession I can find many a browncoat who loves it too?! I've been an xkcd fan for years and squeal with joy when he inserts Firefly references (there ahve been several!).

Seriously, sometimes is seems slightly incestuous how much my interests intermingle!

Continued, indeed. I feel a 'Captain Hammerpants' type of storyline coming up. (Also, Mr. Munroe has quite artfully rendered that inimitable mop atop Nathan Fillion's head....)

I may have to read other installments. It seems like a level of geek I can appreciate. This Firefly miniseries tribute has been great, including the hair. :)

Oh, definitely worth checking out more. Xkcd goes from being wonderfully surreal to being befuddlingly high brow. I only understand about 4 out of 5 but I do love his sense of humour and have occasionally learned something about physics/ engineering/ computing/ maths etc.

Plus there's often great geek references!

This was his last passing reference to Firefly, before he outed himself as a complete Browncoat!

P.S. You can't be a true xkcd fan unless you are a mouse over text reader!

I got suspicious when the plans for the next summer blockbuster went along the lines of "And Summer Glau/River kills everybody!" That one was quite a hefty lead weight on some pretty shiny bait.

Xkcd's section using T.Rex and robots is pretty cool too.

I went back from the link:

"I'm part of the floor now!"

Hahahahahah!

Thanks for the heads up! and yes mousetext (little mouse text) is necessary.

Okay...shutting up now.
