Now, this store chain has the word "independent" stamped across their bulletin boards, sign, labels, bags etc. Over the seafood counter was a chalkboard advertising the specials of the day. For some reason my eyes and mind caught on the words "INDEPENDENT LOBSTERS" and I started grinning like an idiot.

Y'know, uncooked lobsters do have kinda a brownish colour. . .

this was one thing that attracted me too firefly - there is a LARGE amount of political discourse about the growing strength of china's economy and the possibility of it becoming a rival superpower - so the future world in joss whedon's head seems to be grounded in a good deal of reality

btw has anyone done any fiction on what happened on earth that was between now and when firefly is set

This may be the funniest thing I've ever seen on these boards. How many got the joke? Or was it even on purpose?=..

I stand there and stare at him.

His friend stands there and stares at him.

We look at each other and nod. ‘Too right. Let’s do the math on that one…’

I’m still thinking about the picture. Just a friendly pic will be fine, but I’m not sure that’s what he has in mind, I mean $100? Time and resources don't cost that much...that’s not a buddy picture.

Then He said: He was the bad guy in 'Balistic: Ecks vs. Sever' (a very under-rated bit of fun).

Then He Said:
Another speech that gets me is the 'We will not go quietly' speech in 'Independence Day' (with our Mr. Baldwin). It's total weird that the actors were able to make me care enough to forget the absurdity of film itself!
