I've posted a couple of times, but thought I should introduce myself formally. A friend at work is a Browncoat (wore his Mal costume to work the night of the Serenity premiere), I thought it was neat that someone my age (30ish) was so into this thing, but I couldn't believe it was really *that* good. Well, I couldn't handle the curiosity any longer, so I got ahold of his loaner Firefly DVD set a couple of weeks ago. My wife and I are *hooked*. We finished watching the episodes just in time for the BDM to show on cable (amid groans between eps "I can't believe they cancelled this!"). We have purchased the Serenity RPG, Gamemaster screen, and the series and movie DVD's with Out in the Black slated for next paycheck. (In case anyone missed it - loaning Firefly to friends *works* :D)
I am extremely impressed with everything I've seen, including this group. I've been involved in sci-fi fandom before (sorry to say, part of the reason I was so jaded before my "conversion"), but this is something totally new, not in the same Verse. It has awakened my inner child like nothing ever has, so I hope you'll all excuse my gushing ramblings. There's a simple line in the Ballad that touched my heart the moment I heard it, so I'll close with it: "Take me out to the black"

Welcome Interloper!

We have a semi-official welcoming committee who will be along shortly I'm sure, to provide you with the shiniest in Mudder's Milk, strawberries and cream, and of course your very own browncoat (they fit wonderfully!).

In addition, I wanted to say that I enjoyed reading your story of conversion. Its quite similar to mine, and I love seeing people in my age bracket who are as in love with this 'Verse as I am.

So anyway -- welcome! We're glad you're here!

Welcome home, Interl0per! (#22145)
It's right shiny to have you on the crew
and your tale of conversion is classic.

Yepper, lending the DVDs works.

Now, here by the ramp we have a basket
of strawberries for you, and the traditional
mug of Mudder's Milk.

Follow me up to the galley and question
the buffet. It's been refreshed and the
shimmerwine fountain has been refilled.

Ice-planets are in the cooler, bottom shelf.

Please try not to step on ShipsCat or into
her dish.

bun, arms open wide

September 30th is Serenity 'Versary! Be there or be a purple-belted poop-head. (<- not the official slogan.)
I'm so into Firefly, my butt glows in the dark.

Ni Hao , Interloper ! Gushing ramblings Welcome here...That's my style , too . Walk on up the ramp..."You're gonna come with us".

Happy to see your inner di-di is awake . That Ballad kinda got to me, too . Back when the BDS was on-air , I had to listen to the lyrics and make a transcription...That's when I adopted my screen-name...

Bring along any shiny new Recruits that wanna get aboard...It's a bit of a rockety ride , but we'll 'fly true'.

Keep the Faith . Share the Love . Feel the Joy !
