BELOW IS A PREVIOUS POST ABOUT MALICIOUS:

>>Happy 1/2 birthday! In honor of your birthday, here's a brief description of people born on your day. You tell us how much of it is true!

Here goes. (The Secret Language of Birthdays, by Gary Goldschneider and Joost Elffers)James Garfield, Meg Ryan and Jodie Foster were born on your birthday. Filled with a revolutionary spirit, those born on November 19 generally build from a starting point of change. It is not enough, however, for them to simply rebel. Reformers, they must carefully craft something new to take the place of the old, and furthermore administer to it. Thus they are an intersting blend of radical and conservative, anarchy and establishment. Themes of control or even repression can figure prominently in their lives whether they be rebelling against such forces or themselves exercising them.

November 19 people are often taken up with the consolidaton or administration of power, whether it be in their family, social group or career. They are extrememly serious about how that power should be delegated and toward what ends.

November 19 people often take the role of crusaders and champions of causes. Their politics and principles are usually in support of the common man, yet they can have destinctly elitist tastes. November 19 women are at their most content after spending the night with Nathan Fillion! Aren't you glad you read the whole thing??

So, what do you think? I think we have a leader here! Happy 1/2 birthday! <<

--------------------------------------------------

If the characters in Firefly were unisex, and we viewers were also unisex, I'd say that Malicious is a combination of Mal and Zoe. Any other input? We can associate ourselves with the characters! Whose birthday is next?

Okay, 5 days it is! A little hint: May 27 is the Day of Driven Dedication!

oooo, now i'm way intrigued.....do i have to wait until my birthday? cause i may not be around so much, i've been offered a present in jayne's bunk that i don't think i could pass up.

me

~Mal- "how drunk was i last night?"
~Jayne- "i don't know. i passed out."

ELWOODMOM

Okay, Cageybee, here goes:

May 27 people are of two types, those who devote themselves to a cause or social structure (Simon?), and those who are dedicated to their own personal growth and development. In either case, those born on this day throw themselves headlong into their work and usually specialize in a chosen field of endeavor. (Simon again?) Their greatest need is to communicate; therefore, the completion of their task usually includes a powerful presentation of the final product to the world. (Mal's cause?) Not ones to keep silent in general, they state their opinion in sharp, outspoken terms.

Those born on this day may devote their whole life to working for their family or social group (Mal again?), or to developing their personal talents, but rarely to both - this is a strictly either/or situation.

Definately Mal: So dedicated are May 27 people to what they do, that they can persevere for years with or without recognition, and thus stand a good chance of succeeding. On the other hand, they can be blind to their shortcomings and often act as if they don't care. (Bit of Jayne?)

Strentghs: humorous (Wash), persistent, sophisticated (Inara)
Weaknesses: Tactless (Jayne), lacking self-criticism and depressive

Well, Cageybee, what do you think? Kind of like a combination of a few people! Anyone else with input?

Yes! This is precisely my character! It's amazing; as I read the description, it's like they had been spying on me and writing about me personally.

Oh, wait... My birthday's July 17th. Does it say anything about Cancers' being sarky bastards?

Just teasing. Sorry.

Respectfully,

Zoid, I'm pretty sure you're joking, but I still feel that I need to make something clear to everyone. I found a fun (in my opinion) for everyone to read something about themselves, and yet still found a way to tie it into Firefly. This horoscope/zodiac thing is in no way meant to be taken any other way than tongue-in-cheek. The book itself was a birthday gift to me. Malicious and Cageybee may say their descriptions are accurate, or they may say it's nowhere near their personalities. But we all get to input who we think they would resemble on Firefly, and maybe even joke about the content. So, do you want me to type a description come closer to your birthday? Maybe someone is afraid that they'll be compared to...hmmm...someone sarky on the show??

Respectfully,

Elmom

wow, mom, that sounds surprisingly accurate to me...especially the strengths and weaknesses part....so are we calling me MalJayWaSiIn? cause if you say it out loud, its pretty funny.

~Mal- "how drunk was i last night?"

Thank you for the half-birthday greetings! Or should I say, "ha-birt greet?" Anyhoo, thanks a bunch. Do I need to re-stock the buffet table after all the interrogations in the "we miss Gunhand" thread?

BTW, what's YOUR description?

My birthday isn't til February, and I thought we'd go in semi-order. But there's a couple of Jan and March people asking for a bio, and since no other Geminis are coming forward, I'll probably do the them later today. Time permitting, myself included! Isn't someone's b-day June 1st?? (Tapping finger on forehead)

Okay, I'll "do you" next! Probably later today, when I get more time on the computer. After that I'll "do" the January and March folk. I'm doing alot of people today!

ELWOODMOM

Sunday, May 23, 2004 6:39 PM

Athertonwing, I don't think we've chatted before, so how do you do? You tell us if any of this is true:

May 26th, The Day of the Stalwart Protector
John Wayne was also born on this day. Those born of May 26 have a natural appeal. Although they are fiercely opinionated, those who disagree with them can usually see where they are coming from, and thus a certain amount of respect is engendered. They are very responsible in their statements about the world and seem to uphold traditionally conservative values; indeed, they often represent the common man's viewpoint.

The strong desire of May 26 people to be free to act on their own may run counter to the constructs of their family and social grioup, or to society at large. In this respect they live on the fringe, even flirting occasionally with what may ve viewed as borderline criminal activity by some. However, this may only enhance their popular appeal. They can even play the role of outlaw protectors.

Gee, how to tie this to a Firefly character? The second paragraphs sounds like Serenity in general, with the objective of the crew as a whole. Other opinions?

Hi, fivebyfive.

Tell us how much of this is true:

January 22, The Day of the Vortex.
John Hurt was also born on this day. Those born on January 22 manifest a kind of charged energy that repels some people and draws others in. Expressive individuals, they may find it difficult to control their impulsiveness in either their private or public lives. One type of Jan. 22 person presents a carefully controlled image in public, but lets it all hang out in private. Another type has difficutly keeping his/her wilder nature under control in prof
essional life. The most successful and longest-lived individuals born on this day are those able to guide their impulsive natures cautiously throught rough emotional waters in both private and public sectors.

Emotional control is clearly a central issue for January 22 people. They must come to realize that they can be more effective in reaching others when their passion is tempered and allows people more room to breathe.

5X5, what type are you? Once we know, we can figure what character you resemble.

ELWOODMOM

Sunday, May 23, 2004 6:52 PM

Fireflew, you're next. (gotta run) But here's a tidbit: March 21, The Day of Clarity!

ELWOODMOM

Monday, May 24, 2004 12:42 AM

Your turn, Fireflew!

Matthew Broderick was born on your birthday. March 21 is a pivotal day of the year, traditionally marking the first day of spring and the vernal equinox on which day and night are of equal length. Its characteristics must always be seen as primary in nature. In keeping with their symbolic heritage, March 21 people tend to have forthright and essential personalities, rather than complex or ultra-sensitive ones. They are often misunderstood by others, who find them unwilling or unable to fit into the ordinary social mold. This is because they live life purely on their own terms, an attitude that extends into even the simplest of their everyday actions, tasks and responsibilities.

Although they may have a touch of the dreamer about them, March 21 people usually have a practical side that outweighs their fanciful tendencies. They have a genius for setting up organizations and structures, but somehow things never turn out quite as they expect.

A touch Mal here? Who else? Let me know what you think. Too bad Book is so mysterious, it's dawned on me that he'll probably not get compared to anyone!

I think it's spelled Pices, but my spelling capabilities can be rather fishy at times. *Ducks* Yes, VERY bad pun intended.

How about October 18. It's a long way off, but I doubt this thread will still be alive by then. For what it's worth, my Firefly personality test says I'm most like Inara, but it's probably accurate to say that I have a strong dose of Book and Simon thrown in to the mix.

ELWOODMOM

Monday, May 24, 2004 3:45 PM

Davco92, your turn. For the record, everyone, it's spelled PISCES. That's your spelling word for the day!

Now, let's see if you are an Inara, Simon/Book character.

October 18, The Day of Personal Leadership. George C. Scott was born on this day. Those born on Oct. 18 are often destined to play important, active roles in life's great drama. Not only cut out to be players, however, they may also function as powerful directors of what goes on around them, be it the concerns of their family, business or social circle. October 18 people are not shy about pushing their way to the top, but though their desire to be king or queen of the hill is great, they can keep a low profile if necessary.

Yet October 18 people are hardly typical leaders, for they have many other interests in life. If they are the head of a company, for example, they may steal away when they can to devote themselves to an endeavor for which they have still greater passion. (Simon, can take charge, but medicine always #1 passion?) Many born on this day who are selected for management positions look forward to the day when they can return to their former primary interest. When they leave, they are likely to be missed for their integrity and unimpeachable homor and honesty. (Book, and his mysterious former life?)

There you have it. How does this tie in to Inara? All the characters on Firefly have a past that hasn't been explored. The series wasn't on long enough!

Anything for a fellow Aquarian! (Feb. 3 myself, was almost a Groundhog, too!)

February 2, The Day of Class. Garth Brooks was born on this day. Not only are February 2 individuals apt to be polished, sophisticated and classy (Inara?), but also likely to embody many of the typical qualities (both the very best and worst ones) of the social group or nationality from which they spring. Thus, no matter how unusual they are, they tend to stay attached to their cultural beginnnings. (Book?)

Feb. 2 people are able to "do the impossible" and make it look easy. It is because they have great facility with their medium that they can operate in a relaxed fashion. Though they give the impression that such fluency comes naturally, in fact a great deal of discipline and hard work stands behind it. Classically, those born on this day prefer to work hard in private, not in public. It is extremely important to their image that they remain objective, in complete control of what they are doing-in a word, masterful.

How interesting. You seem more like Inara and Book than Davco92. Did you do the Firefly personality test? Did it agree with this?

Mantichorus, thank you for waiting.

October 24, The Day of Sensational Detail. Kevin Kline was born on this day. Those born on October 24 have two major themes in their lives: that of dramatic revelations and discoveries, on the one hand, and painstaking attention to detail on the other. As they are hardly cold, analytical types, those born on this day generally feel the need to reveal themselves and their discoveries to the world, often in an exciting, even flamboyant manner. Yet most are not exhibitionists by any means, rather craftspeople and professionals who take their work very seriously, particularly from a technical point of view. (Simon?) The influence they work on those who watch or listen to them is calculated to impact as they wish. Not the least of their talents is a personal magnetism which aids in getting people interested in them and what they do. (Well, maybe Kaylee!)

What do you think? Did you take the Firefly personality test? If so, what did it say??

Thanks Elwoodmom, that's interesting. He he...sounds like I'm a bit of a closet megalomaniac. The Inara angle might (?) make more sense if one of outside "interests" was family or dedication to family. BTW, I am in sales management and most individuals that hold the same position in my industry are 10-15 years older than I am...

Hi, Paladin. Here goes:

August 19, The Day of Startling Surprises. Gene Roddenberry shares your birthday. Those born on August 19 are often taken up with life themes regarding both concealing and revealing information not only about themselves but also others. Sometimes this information is not personal but concerns objective areas of scientific, philosophical or natural interest. After keeping something quiet for a period of time, an August 19 person will often relveal it in a grand manner.

Those born on this day can be difficult to pin down. Just when it seems one has them figured out, they evade the parameters set for them. Thus those born on August 19 may unfairly suffer from a reputation for unreliability or untrustworthiness. The key to understanding them lies in why they have such a great need to remain obscure on some occasions and reveal themselves so fully on others.

Paladin, you're a complex character! I'm guessing you'd fit a combination of a few Firefly characters. Which ones do you figure?

ELWOODMOM

Tuesday, May 25, 2004 2:25 AM

Terribletink, how did you choose your name?

Here goes: September 22, The Day of Restless Drive. Joan Jett shares your birthday, in case you're old enough to remember her!

Those born on September 22 have a restless drive to begin all sorts of new projects. Usually they bring the one they are working on to completion but immediately set out on a new one without rest. They are also capable of handling several projects at the same time. Those born on this day have a low boredom threshold, and consequently demand challenging people and situations. They can be outgoing and dynamic types at one time, and solitary and unapproachable at another. In either case, their strong character is unmistakable.

Often September 22 people oscillate between an offensive and defensive posture. In one sense, such postures may be one and the same since a good offense is the best defense and vice-versa.

Hmmm, are you a type-A person? I think you bring out the best work ethic of all characters. Your opinion?

I'd have to agree with taking my work seriously, and the attention to detail bit. However, the character test says something new every time I take it... (The first time, I was Zoe! XD I expected to be told Book, Simon, or (maybe) River!)

Thanks, Elwoodmom!

As far as how I chose my name, I use TerribleTink a lot -- I chose it because Tink is my husband's nickname for me because I always liked Tinkerbell when I was little. (I grew up in a Disney-obsessed family and I think she was the only female character I saw that wasn't a typical damsel-in-distress fairy tale princess.) I put "Terrible" on there because I like that part of Tink -- sure, she was a cute little pixie, and loyal if you didn't make her put up with too much. But if you go and bring home a chick named Wendy, she's going to tell the pirates exactly where you are.

I do remember Joan Jett - in fact, I think I Love Rock 'n' Roll was one of the first albums I ever got. (Yeah, that dates me

This definitely describes me at work. I am the queen of multi-tasking, and I do get easily bored and want to move on to new things. LOL -- just accepted a new position yesterday in fact.

When I took the personality quiz I got Wash, which surprised me. I don't think I'm *quite* that easy-going, but I think that the quiz results were a bit off because of all the fighting questions. (Yeah, I chose the "run and hide" variation a lot.)

Thanks for doing this. The Day of Restless Drive -- I really like that!!!!

In keeping with their symbolic heritage, March 21 people tend to have forthright and essential personalities, rather than complex or ultra-sensitive ones. They are often misunderstood by others, who find them unwilling or unable to fit into the ordinary social mold. This is because they live life purely on their own terms, an attitude that extends into even the simplest of their everyday actions, tasks and responsibilities.

Although they may have a touch of the dreamer about them, March 21 people usually have a practical side that outweighs their fanciful tendencies. They have a genius for setting up organizations and structures, but somehow things never turn out quite as they expect.

A touch Mal here? Who else? Let me know what you think. Too bad Book is so mysterious, it's dawned on me that he'll probably not get compared to anyone!

Wow...that does sound a lot like me, or at least some of the personality traits...

Thanks very much

Hi, nice to you!

December 4th, The Day of Fortitude. Jeff Bridges was born on this day. Those born on December 4 are gutsy, aggressive individuals who have the courage to go for it, heart and soul. Pain, conflict and struggle are no strangers to them and they may repeatedly be faced with the challenge of great difficulties and overwhelming odds. (Mal all the way!) Nonetheless, they stand a fairly good chance of achieving their far-reaching goals through an unusual combination of grace and vitality, all the while being careful not to incite jealousy in others. Many born on this day, however, have a knack for instilling fear in the most powerful of adversaries, or at least a worrying sense of anxiety. It must be said that a certain ruthlessness of purpose often accompanies this day, and the enemies of December 4 people probably sense that little if any mercy will be afforded them. Okay, you're scaring me now. What is the man's name who tortures Mal and Wash? I wish I could instill fear in someone!

December 4 people can display touches of egomanical and sociopathic tendencies, but fortunately such urges rarely come to dominate their personality. Normally their ideals and beliefs remain uncorrupted and they often put themselves in service of some higher human, political or artistic cause. Indeed, they will sacrifice their own comfort and security for what they believe.

What do you think? Sounds like you're a cut-above!

Freedom, thanks for waiting. October 23rd, The Day of Conflicting Karma. Johnny Carson was born on this day. Those born on October 23 are rarely able to achieve stability in all aspects of their lives. No matter how hard they try to balance their energies, there always seems to be one major area at any given time which will be out of kilter. Somehow controversy seems to follow them wherever they go. Truth to tell, they do bore easily and so are often on the lookout for excitement. Therefore what appears heavily stressful or difficult to others may actually be enjoyable to them.

Most October 23 people are not so big on planning. They have a talent for improvisation, and therefore tend to deal with situations as they arise. (Wash?) Similarly, they are rather impulsive, and when they see an opportunity, don't hesitate to go for it. (Jayne, when he attempted to sell out Simon and River!)

What do you think? Pure drivel? Or are you always on the lookout for excitement?

Anything for a fellow Aquarian! (Feb. 3 myself, was almost a Groundhog, too!)

February 2, The Day of Class. Garth Brooks was born on this day. Not only are February 2 individuals apt to be polished, sophisticated and classy (Inara?), but also likely to embody many of the typical qualities (both the very best and worst ones) of the social group or nationality from which they spring. Thus, no matter how unusual they are, they tend to stay attached to their cultural beginnnings. (Book?)

Feb. 2 people are able to "do the impossible" and make it look easy. It is because they have great facility with their medium that they can operate in a relaxed fashion. Though they give the impression that such fluency comes naturally, in fact a great deal of discipline and hard work stands behind it. Classically, those born on this day prefer to work hard in private, not in public. It is extremely important to their image that they remain objective, in complete control of what they are doing-in a word, masterful.

How interesting. You seem more like Inara and Book than Davco92. Did you do the Firefly personality test? Did it agree with this?

Thanks, 'mom, for getting back to me so quickly. I am really busy right now with work, so my reply will have to be short for now. I did take the personality test and I was about 85% Inara, which makes total sense to me. When I get time, I will comment on the birthday profile.

April, 6th, The Day of the Experimenter. Harry Houdini shares your birthday. Those born on April 6 have an irresistible urge to experiment with what they find around them. In this respect they are scientific, peering and probing into all corners of emotional, physical and psychological matters. Nothing is free from their scrutiny, and they will go to any length to find out the truth about something or to see how it works. Many born on this day not only bring a childlike curiosity to bear, but also demonsttrate an ability to lead the way in producing hightly original material.

Even in the most mundane areas, including for instance everyday business or workday life, these tireless seekers will find out what is wrong (for there is always something wrong) and try to correct it. Their basic underlying drive is to get to the bottom of things.

Here goes: July 6th, The Day of Magnetic Desire. Sylvester Stallone and Janet Leigh were born on this day. Those born on July 6 are invariably involved in relationships and careers where there is a mutual attraction/magnetism working with the object of their desire. There is a fatalistic cast to the lives of July 6 people in that life decisions sometimes seem less like choices than inevitabilities for them. Okay, what the heck does that mean??

The passion shown by July 6 people toward their fixation, whatever it happens to be, may seem unalterable once set, particularly in their younger days. Indeed, for July 6 people, the emotional motivation to do something can override consideration of an endeavor aforethought and make for a kind of fait accompli. For example, they may get it into their mind that they must have another person as a lover or frined. Or perhaps they are possessed of a desire for a prize, award, career or office.

Sounds like your a driven kind of person, Lindale. Can you give any insight on this, and perhaps help me to tie this to a Firefly character? Reminds me of Wash in War Stories, when he wants to have the war experience himself.

People, you should be ashamed of yourselves. That was entirly the worst slow clap ever. Sense you don't know though, i've prepaired a handy guide to refer to for all your slow clapping needs.

History of the slow clap:

The slow clap was invented or discoverd or coined or something, by somebody in theater at my high school a long time ago.

When to use the slow clap:

Instance 1) - when somebody messes up (really badly or less badly, use your discresion) Example - Bob has tripped and fallen on his face. This is a good time for a passing friend to point, laugh, and begen a slow clap.

Instance 2) - When somebody does something so immesely cool, that it must be honored with a round of applause. Example - Mom has spent a lot of time and energy typing things for you. This is very worthy of a rousing slow clap.

How to slow clap:
1)Stand up
2) One person begins claping very slowly
3) As more people join in the clap, it gains speed untill it is a rousing round of applause.
4) Wistle, shout, and stamp your feet as needed.

Got it people? Now lets try this again. On your feet troops!

CLAP!

Can Ebo and I form a "I'm not a Guy" club? 'Cause I'm not. I may be trained to kick b*tt and take names later, but I can also use feminine wiles to get my way. My (retired Marine) husband agrees.

But anyway, the "Day of the Experimenter" gives further proof to my mother's claim that I was born two weeks late, because it's not really me at all. I've got no real urge to find out how things work; I accept that they do and if they don't, generally find someone else to fix it. If I could get the "Firefly" personality test to work on this computer (see?) I have a vague suspicion that I'd be more Zoe than Kaylee, with a fair dose of the good Captain thrown in.

All my life I wanted to be somebody. I guess I should have been more specific.

Okay, so things are quiet at work tonight, so I thought I would comment on my birthday reading. As for being classy, I do not really identify with Inara's beauty and elegance (I wish!), but the idea of being classy (respectful, reserved but friendly, polite, sensitive to the feelings of others) in social situations sound like me. Come to think of it, I think 'classy' describes Book as well as Inara.

The part about identifying with and staying close to one's social group or cultural beginnings reminds me of a recent observation of mine about Jayne. I don't remember which thread it was on, but someone recently described Jayne as, and I am paraphrasing here, amoral, without respect or concern for anyone but himself. Most people who have watched the show can point to some obvious times when this was not true (i.e. watching over Kaylee in Serenity and the plea from the airlock in Ariel). But the comment got me to thinking about why Jayne is so appealing to so many - really, it's a mystery to me. Then I thought about the whole 'hat from mom' angle where we find out that he was raised as a part of a loving family and he obviously loves and respects his mother, in a very 'little boy' fashion. I also think the dinner table scene in Serenity where Book bows his head to pray, gives us a good insight into Jayne, too. Jayne very seriously and respectfully bows his head for the blessing, too. I've come to the conclusion that Jayne is not really a bad man, he just has the emotional maturity of an 8 year old boy. I can see the young Jayne as part of a primitive, harsh, but loving social group/family that taught him survival at all cost, but also respect for his elders and his religion. That said, I still don't find him attractive. But that's just fine, though, 'cause Simon needs groupies too.

AAAnnnyyywwwaaayyy... Back to the actual topic of this thread! I can also relate to identifying with one's nationality and social group and staying attached to one's cultural beginnings.

As for 'doing the impossible and making it look easy', I have been TOLD that I do this. But I guess that just goes along with the next part of the description, because I feel like I struggle and sweat and stress-out alot in order to do the best job I can. (perfectionist? who me?) Honestly, I can't see this trait in anyone of the Firefly crew. I mean, River does the impossible, but she doesn't make it LOOK easy, it

Well, Gunhand, you don't need to give a birthday list to me. I'm gettin you ear plugs, for when Neroli sings to you!

June 1st, The Day of the Popular Eye. Marilyn Monroe and Morgan Freeman share your birthday. June 1 people can usually be found either in the public eye or observing the latest modes and trends of society. (Kinda hard to do on a ranch in the desert!) Either way they are taken up with seeing or being seen in a social context. Those born on this day may display an interest in history, but usually for how it sheds light on the present. Indeed they bring all their powers to bear on what is most up-to-date: dressing, talking, reading and studying the state of the art in various fields.

This does not mean that June 1 people are overly social beings. They may appear extroverted, in rare cases exhibitionist, but such an external attitude often masks a personality that is isolated and lonely. Therefore, it is difficult for anyone to really know these unusal people well, although many might think they do. June 1 people are masters at hiding not only their feelings but their deeds as well.

How can you feel lonely and isolated when you have your groupies right here? The first paragraph reminds me of Inara, the second reminds me of Mal. Well, or Jayne. What do you think?

Yay! Thanks Mom. Okay now lemme dissect this thing here...hmmm.

Marilyn Monroe too? Now that I did not know, I knew about Morgan Freeman having the same birthday as me but not her. Not all that keen on her but Mira Sorvino played her very well in that movie a while back. Mmmmm Mira Sorvino...where was I?

History was my major, well one of them so that fits. Seeing and being seen...well I didn't always live on a ranch ya know. Besides even on the ranch I'm pretty damn stylish for a cowboy!

Exhibitionist: check. Well at times, and mostly when I needed beer money in college. Or on foreign beaches...

Masters of hiding who they are and their deeds? Big check, but I'm not at liberty to say more than that about that. Like Zoid said in a post way back when, "I could tell ya but I'd have to kill ya."

So on the past parts, yeah it actually does fit in a lot of ways I can't talk about. That is downright creepifying!

It reminds me of Mal mostly, and like I said I have a personality more like Mal with some Wash mixed in than anything. So it all fits pretty much. And I don't feel isolated 'cause I have all my groupies and my friends here, but there are definately things locked away too. That is downright creepifying on how close it is.

Thanks Mom!

EDIT: Although personalitywise it's Mal, I got a lot of Book about me as well. Well except the religiousity parts.

I'd be in your club too, if I didn't attach the "mom" to my long-running nickname!

as one of the people who has shamefully called ebo a boy (a mistake that i intend to pay for all my life), i humbly ask to be a member. plus, my name is kinda guy-sih...until you read my posts and hear me rant about jayne until my last breath.

me

~Mal- "how drunk was i last night?"
~Jayne- "i don't know. i passed out."

well, ok, acronymish would be the most correct....but gunhand wins the cookie, as he successfully confused the out of me. i just think they are pretty letters.

Mine makes sense! Just not in English except for the first letters of each word.

So what does Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti mean then?

"Committee for State Security." That's what the acroynm stands for.

It's not called that anymore since the Soviet Union went kaput. Now it's the SVR and FSB.

Yeah well 'exciting' and 'Soviet' rarely went hand in hand, ever see some of those hairstyles and clothes? Not to mention the mustard colored apartment buildings...

ebo, cookie to you too.....kermie, my first crush. i was four, ok?

as for the former soviet union, mustard paint was all they could afford.

It's okay, I actually have a soft spot in my heart for the Soviets. Some days I wake up and just miss the Cold War completely.

I mean without the Cold War there wouldn't be a Dr. Strangelove and that movie is art, art I say!!

i'm a child of a wall-less era, so please forgive my ignorance.

when i was a freshman, i debated (yeah, go ahead, insert your "master debater" joke here) about russia and it was often said that many of them didn't have the money for bread or toilet paper. granted the soviets and russia are not really the same thing, and this of course may be an exaggeration (as debaters tend to do), but it evoked feelings of sympathy in me.

yeah, i know...me? feelings? odd....maybe that last birthday shot wasn't a good idea, as its no longer my birthday....
