Ain't rightly sure that "discombobulating" be a proper Browncoat-type word. I ain't figurin' you to be an Alliance spy, or such -- but such words are somewhat disconcertin'.




Oh, I dunno... I think "discombobulating" makes a might pretty Firefly-type word. Ranks right up there with "addle-pated" in my book! :)

Big welcome to all the (other) noobs to the Firefly 'verse. Only been here a short spell myself (since roundabout July of Ought-Five), but it's a most friendly place. Just be careful where you have your drinks on Unification Day, and you'll be just fine.

BTW, I'm from Austin, TX - not far from Houston. Might have to look into one of them there "shindigs" sometime...

PS: MandalayLeigh - awesome sig! Gotta love T.S. Eliot

Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald)
brought in upon a platter,  
I am no prophet--and here's no great matter;   
I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,   
And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat,
and snicker,   
And, in short, I was afraid.

Also, how do you guys get the quotes from the show to appear next to your login name?

Introduce all of your friends, family, co-workers, and strangers on the street to the joy that is Firefly/Serenity.

Yup. That should about do it. :)

Welcome (says the guy who signed up yesterday ;) )! Well, welcome to the 'verse, anyway.

I never caught Firefly while it was on TV, but I bought the DVD set sight unseen (for the full 50 bucks) because I heard good things from people I trusted. I put off watching it for a bit, finally popped it in, and fell hopelessly in love with the series and the characters. I've seen that happen to lots of people...a friend of mine who pretty much hasn't liked anything since Season 7 of the X-Files got dragged to go see Serenity by me and a couple others...walking out of the movie he asked to borrow the DVD set. A few weeks later (after going to see Serenity more than even *I* did) he got his own DVD set. It's the first show he's truly loved since X-Files. It's just a well written show with a fantastic cast that has great chemistry together.

Done and done. ;) I've even gotten people on message boards I used to frequent (baseball related, actually, so not sci fi ones) to check out the movie and series.

"ever sailed on a Firefly?"



Lola, go to www.cafepress.com. I also ordered a Tshirt with 'time for some thrilling heroics' and Jayne's goggle on the front. Good quality shirts. I ordered them from UK and they arrived in about 4 days. Might quick operation. The thing is I may need to order more Tshirts because I constantly wear these 2. I wear 1 for 2 days throw it in the wash and then wear the other 1 and it rotates like that over 7 days LOL People think the're the only clothes I have :D

Thanks for the props on "discombobulating." I thought it was a pretty fair Firefly-type word, myself (as is "addle-pated", I agree)!

Glad to see another Texan on here. I'm in Dallas, and from what I can tell, the Browncoat population up here is pretty slim. Is it better in Austin? Assume so, since the Alamo ran the marathon back in, what, August? Very bummed I hadn't discovered Firefly at that point, or I'd have been there. Hope they do another one in the future!

Too many Texans!! Ganging up on me!! Can't hold out -- !! Must accept "dis- con - bob - u - la - ting -- ~ !!


Okay, okay, okay!! I apologize for the "discombobulating" remark.

HA! Just wanted to make sure there was no remaining question that I was an Alliance spy. I may not have been a Browncoat for long, but my loyalty is true. I expect to see "discombobluating" in numerous posts from now on. ;-)

Any Floridian Browncoats out there?

By the way, I just adore this site and everyone here. What could be better than watching Firefly and Serenity and then talking to a bunch of fantastic people who love the show just as much as you do?

Love you guys!
