RiveR6213 is having some sort of personal crisis
today. See thread "Oh God, I Want to Destroy Everyone."
Cyber-sympathy may or may not help. Meantime
she's apparently posting random unhappiness all
around.

So "Greycoats" I vote no.

O-kaayyy, back on topic.

Yeah I see your point too. Instead of Greycoat
Division maybe Silverback Squad? Is silverback ok?
On hair color --leaving that one alone.

Only bits of my hair are that lovely silver blonde, but it is good to see the numbers of mature veterans be acknowledged.
To River - I hope today is a better day, just hold there, we are all tooooo pretty to die, go out there and aim to misbehave.

RESE

Wait for me! You know how long it usually takes us womenfolk to "put on our face", well at the advanced age of 53 (in July) it takes me a wee bit longer, provided I can remember where I put it! Gee, guess that makes me the matriarch of this happy, little ship (at least for now). So, please don't leave without me! I have new stories to share! My Browncoat is not old, it's just broken in and comfy -- doesn't squeak anymore. Well, at least the coat doesn't squeak anymore . . .

I'm hopelessly devoted to all things Firefly and Serenity. I shop! I buy all things devoted to same. Buffy, Angel, too. I'm helping the Whedon's put their kids through college!

My husband asked, "Are you ever going to stop crying when you watch this movie?" Guess I never will. As I said, I'm hopelessly devoted! Let's just hope that he never finds out about being in Jayne's bunk -- I can still dream, can't I?

Thank you, mphillips, for starting this thread. I'd be lurking forever if not for you. Consider yourself hugged! (Now, if someone could just show the old lady how to use these cute little emoticons . . . )

Hey, Rese, we're so glad you quit lurking and joined us.

Glad you already have a 'coat.

You can either type in the : + the word between or copy and paste it in the post where you want it to use the emoticons. I copy and paste, it's easier.

You can also get a cool pic by your name, say of Jayne

by going up to the top to the place where it says MyFirefly and going to edit profile and adding an icon from the bottom right.

I'm a Mal gal myself, but I got a certain appreciation for Jayne.

Ah, the days before VHS and DVD, when you could only see movies like that after the ten o'clock news. Yet once, I must confess, I saw it on the big screen during the summer movie series at the Paramount here in Austin. So cool to see it as it were meant to be -- in all it's Cinemascoped glory.

Ah, I remember too before DVD's and VHS.
I remember my first 8 tracks were Rush and Aerosmith. Now listening to Rush on CD, I still wait for the beak in the song, where it switched from track to tack.

40 isn't as old as it used to be, that's for sure and for certain.

I'm 38 with the spine of an 80 year old - does that mean I can get grandfathered in or something?

Veteran

You had a bunch of categories once for those of us who have been here since before, during and just after cancellation. I know "veteran" falls in there, as the ones who were there before cancellation, but I forget the rest.

See? See? That sould get me my very own Over the Hill cap right there! I'm thinking Jayne-style, only maybe black and white instead of orange and pink *bleh*

Don't squat with your spurs on.

Hey Channain!

Haven't seen you around these parts in a long while. I've been a member of this board since Februay '03. I think you were here first. I lurked for a few weeks and joined the board just after the cancellation. It was very theraputeic, kind of like joining the team at the bar after losing a playoff game.

I remember a few names: Succatash, Sarahecht, Drakon, Archer, Johnny Reb, Ginobiffarino. Used to have a lot of discussions about Western's and the Civil War back then.

It's kind of fun to see new people still coming to the board and starting up "new threads" that we ran through two or three years ago.

Not bald. Not gray anymore.
I'd have been too old for active duty 500 years from
now so it's not likely I could ever be in the 57th.
Maybe something with fewer syllables? There's times
I can't say that many in the right order.

I've been fan of a few things over the years, or I thought I was. But, now I know it was just a shadow of what fanaticism can be. In a good way, of course. We have to get this show back into production!
