All right, call me completely idiotic, but I can't, for the life of me, find Mutant Enemy's Website. Do they even have one? I would have to think they do, but if someone could point me in the right direction to find it, I'd be eternally grateful.

No, they don't. But ME President Chris Buchanan said on the Fox boards a couple months ago that he thought it was a good idea.

He said that getting an ME website going was on his list of things to do for the new year.

EDITED TO ADD:

Here's what Chris actually said, when we were marooned on the Fox Shows boards back in Sept/Oct. '03

As for an official ME site, what do you think? Maybe a simple site ala "ViewAskew" where we could keep you on top of all of the Mutant Enemy news and sell ME schwag? It would make my life a whole lot easier as there are way too many Whedonverse sites to keep on top of everything.

OK, I talked myself into it... an official ME site is on my Xmas list.

Thanks for caring,
Buchanan

There's been reasonable evidence that AFFABLECHAP is really Pres. Chris Buchanan (email correspondence with Whedon fan leaders, etc.).

Thanks so much! I'll keep an eye open for it (and I wouldn't mind a t-shirt with the Grr Argh Monster on it).

That particular design was specified by a poster at the time. Oh, waitaminit, that was me! Chris (Affable Chap) read my post, as one can see on the main firefly board.

Thanks for posting those links FFYing2! I had been wondering what the Chinese phrases in the episodes meant, though with some you can kind of get the general idea by the situation.

Now I can go back with a print off by episode and fill in the phrases in English. Very cool.

Cool site ffying2. Do you know what the tatoo on the girl's cheek, in the pilot, says?

Your Firefly Chinese site is AMAZING. I am a native Chinese speaker and I can't figure out what they are saying half the time. The way you have it spelled, defined, and cross referenced with other episodes is awesome. Thank you for all that hard work.

FFYING2-Thanx for the Chinese translations. I use them quite a bit in the current RP on this site. They sound cool as Hell!!

Thank you all for your kind words. Glad my site's getting some use.

I've been puzzling over that. The middle part is easy, but the last (by her eye) character is blurry and the first (lowest) character looks odd--could be the contour of her face messing it up.

Anyway, I'm going with a tentative:

[read left-to-right, but up her face]

(hand) dares not increase (price)

Keep flying,

I watched "Jaynestown" again last night and sat there w/ a printoff from your site FFYing2 and it was so cool translating the Chinese as we went.

Thanks again for the link.
