1) Nothing ever goes according to plan.
2) Small concealable weapons go the the far left of the place setting.
3) A quick wit helps, but a quicker draw is better.
4) The Bible is good (but the meek have not inherited an Earth yet).
5) Whether you're dealing with vampires or intergalactic fugitives, the suspicious-looking guy is actually really nice.
6) Because of this, the nice guys are actually really suspicious.
7) Swords are still some peoples' weapon of choice in the 26th century.
8) If you have been shot, you will fall just metres from the button that will save your life.
9) If your actions turn the balance of power in your side's favour during a war, your superiors will still think it's too dangerous.
10) It is easy to kick a six-foot, two-hundred pound man into a spaceship's engine regardless of your size.

1. Never trust a woman wearing lipstick, or one who gets naked while quoting the Bible.
2. When in doubt, bring grenades.
3. Allowing people to have sex in the engine compartment is a good way to separate the “genius mechanics” from the morons.
4. Having a compatriot who constantly wears body-armor, does not mean that you will automatically be wise enough to shoot someone in the head, rather than the chest. Think. Aim.
5. When having dealings with rogue Companion con-artists, be sure to bring a spare change of clothes. (And a smarter Companion)
6. When smuggling illegal body parts, don’t try to screw the deal with the people holding your originals hostage.
7. When finding a job, try to avoid grandpa looking individuals who quote sadistic philosophy and gut their nephew-in-law for fun.
8. The chance for blowing a critical engine component, rises in a direct, proportional relationship to how far you are from civilization.
9. The chance for having a crew member critically injured, rises in a direct, proportional relationship to how far you are from your doctor.
10. When in a romantic situation, it is best not to tell her she is the only woman...you have access to at the moment.

Only two at the moment:
1) NEVER piss off the Captain (he will kick the shit out of you…he has a hell of a right hook)
2) NEVER piss off the Doctor (if you want him to try and fix you after said shit is kicked out of you)

in no particular order...
1)Chinese is an incredibly expressive language
2)screw "The Road Warior", strawberries are more important than gasoline!
3)people can not and should not be made better
4)You really can't take the sky from me, as it turns out.
5)If you can't do something smart, do something right.

7)I wanna be a pilot.
8)How to say "ain't".
9)Doctors know where to hit you so it'll hurt.
10)Love. You can know all the math in the 'verse, but take a boat in the air you don't love, and she'll shake you off just as sure a a turn of the worlds. Love's what keeps her in the air when she ought to fall, tells you she's hurting before she keens. Makes her home.

4) The Alliance stole Christmas.
5) The Blue Hands didn't fly 86 million miles to track down a stolen box of bandaids.
6) Simon's baby sister makes him look like an idiot child.
7) Simon takes so much looking after.
8) Wearing a skirt offers a nice "airy" feeling.
9) Crow likes to stand by the door and go "boo."
10) You can't open the book of Mal's life and jump in the middle.
I am evil, I am sly, and if you get eaten no one will cry.

I do not think I'm repeating anyone's, but it has been a little while since I read this through.
In no particular order:
1) It never goes smooth
2) Even on an uninviting planet, there's a friendly folk dance happening somewhere
3) If there's shooting, do not stand there with your arms in the air or you'll lose a lot of blood
4) Every man ever got a statue made of him was one kind of sumbitch or another
5) Even if you really like someone, if you're too different you'll probably say the wrong thing to them. Many times.
6) You DO NOT mess with a warrior woman's man. She won't even make sure he's okay before she shoots you.
7) A crazy psychic genius can still want to dance and play
8) If you're alone, frozen, and out of air, be very wary of anyone coming to help you.
9) Don't call your doctor 'Doctor' all the time, unless you want him to get snatched on an uninviting planet in the middle of a friendly folk dance.
10) Being ironical can save your life. Though a shadowed past and a magic ident card doesn't hurt.

ten things i've learnt
prissy doctors are decent criminal masterminds
its safest to never kiss 'em on the mouth
sherpards know a lot about the alliance / high military and criminal activities
Companions are NOT whores
mercinarys will betray you if they get a better offer
Browncoats Rule! the Alliance Drool
Fireflys are not flying peices of junk/Goeser
River Tam is a moonbrain -not stupid (don't forget shes a teenage Genius)
Reavers can be taken down with lots of weaponry, a crazy idem, ignoring them, a barn swallow, throwing a hunk of stone into there engines, strangling with steel cuffs, or if you have an Aliance trained assassin sic her or him on them they beat down the reaver dogs
And at number 10 or 1 depending on your point of view
they tell you to never hit a man with a closed fist but on accasion it can be as funny as hell

1.) Respect the chain of command. Respect the hypo of intense sleepiness even more.
2.) In crime and politics, the situation is always fluid.
3.) If psychos hire you on a regular basis, it IS a commentary on you. Mostly, it means that you have a problem with your brain bein' missin'.
4.) A man who can't find work ain't lookin' hard enough. 'Course, it pays to be a mite particular about who you work for. See above.

But we drained our Hearts instead,
We are... We are the DEAD!!!!!!!!!!
