America loves a winner!

I was at the Publix ( grocery store ) self check out line last night. As I hoisted the full bag of goodies off the bagging area, I uttered a non directed 'grrrrr' , as it was a bit heavier than I expected. The check out clerk (girl) looked over and asked.... " Did you just say " ugh " ? To which I replied - " No, I said 'grrrr!' ", seeing no reason to deny it now. She smiled, and quickly gave me an " Arrrrgh! Joss Whedon fan, huh ? ". I nodded and smiled to the affirmative.

We're everywhere !

We turn up in the oddest places don't we?

But in my area of NC, people would think you are a East Carolina Pirates (the local university)fan.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

You beddah believe it. My husband is just being intoduced to Firefly (and loving every minute of it) as I posted elsewhere.

He works in the City, and the guy who shares the office, the accountant, has been bringing his early-teen son in to work with him for a couple of weeks. It's been driving Jim up the wall--which ain't all that hard to do, for folk "out there"; at home he's a peach. But he even came home early a couple of days because the kid (and sometimes his dad) watch movies on the computer, at full volume!

So one dayJim's on the phone to his son, Jeff, in his 40s, doing some "guerilla marketing" to get him to check it out. (Personally I know Jeff will adore it, we had custody when he was a boy and he and I had sci fi in common but not with Jim.)

Accountant's son overhears the conversation, swings around from movie he's been watching on 'puter screen:

Teen: "You know Firefly???"

Jim: "Yeah, my wife just introduced me to it".

Teen: "Isn't it FANTASTIC, tho'?!"

Jim: "Yeah, I think it's pretty great"...

and they went from there, Browncoating it back and forth...a man of 71 and a boy of 13, like they'd been friends forever. Jim came home and chuckled about it.

We ARE everywhere...and growing! (Did anyone see the Firefly reference in Slumdog Millionaire?)

I swam in HS, and one of my coaches graduated from ECU. I seriously considered going there. This was LONG before Mutant Enemy.

I've had a couple of Whedonverse moments over the years but the last one is easily my favourite.
I was at the NEC Memorabilia show last winter and was talking to the artist behind a series of books called Tozzer. As we were talking he was drawing away on his sketchpad when two girls and a guy strolled up and looked at the books on offer. The conversation then went like this:

Artist (sorry I forget his name): "Do you draw at all?"
Me: "I like to doodle most of the time."
Girl: "I doodle. She do doodle too." (as she pointed at her friend).

We laughed and it was then that I realised that she was dressed like Willow with the same colour red hair and everything. The artist had a blank look on his face and we explained the reference.

Good fun and a nice Buffy moment.

Hey we've all had the moments.. and don't they just make you smile to know that there are more of us than you realize:)
