I just shelled out for my FOURTH set of Firefly DVDs.

Here's my logic.

I bought a set. . .watched them. . .
then bought a second set for loaning.

Took BOTH of those sets home with me on leave and left them. . .with strict instructions to my beautiful Mahealani, "THIS set is for watching at home. . .THIS OTHER set is for loaning out to folks. . .do so as often as you can."

So I got back here. . .bought the LAST set from the Kandahar PX, and realized that I still wanted to share the joy. . .soooooooooooooo. . .

As I said, my FOURTH set should be here in two weeks.

Like I said. . .it's a sickness almost!

For those of you who have gotten tattoos, you know the comparison. As soon as you get one, like my celtic knotwork band and claddagh on my right bicep, you start looking at your body saying. . .Hmmmmmm. . .I need another one somewhere for balance.

Every time I get a set of the DVDs, I rationalize a reason to get ANOTHER set.

Help?

Okay, you're almost there....

I've bought a total of seven sets: two for myself, 3 for family and friends, and two for military buddies currently in the Gulf.

And I've gotten a few more sold by lending out my tapes of the broadcast eps, then pointing out they can see the 3 "missing" episodes if they get the DVD set...

My only owning 1 set suddenly seems really pathetic. . . . Do I get any points if I bought a DVD player just so I could watch them?

Lol...wow, somebody has money to burn. Well, anything that involves spreading the word of Firefly is justified in my books.

Hay Static maybe you should ask the McDonnell Douglas (or whatever that company is called now, darn mergers) guys to hook a DVD player up to one of your MFDs so you will never have to miss an episode of FF even if your on a mission! Maybe tie it in to your IHADS (whatever that thing on your helmet is called) so you never have to look down at you dash to watch FF!

Kinda reminds you of "Conspiracy Theory," where the Feds used copies of "Catcher in the Rye" to track Mel Gibson.

Or as Jayne said in "Our Mrs. Reynolds",

Yeah, I only have 1 set of Firefly dvds, but that isn't even where the obsession lies (although I'm sure I'll wear em out)...But I do have 11 tattoos, 2 of which are Joss Whedon-related, so I understand completely....

I've only got one of each, Firefly and tattoo, but not to say that I don't want more. The tatto shop I'm loyal to is in another state and the video store I'm loyal to can't keep the gorram DVD's in stock. That's a good thing, though. It shows the sales are good here.

America loves a winner!

Static, you are an inspiration to us all. Wow. Thank you for letting me see that my 'interest' in Firefly ( see? i'm NOT obsessed ) is a healthy one. Now, I'm off to try to find another DVD box set.

They don't like it when you shoot at 'em.

That´s what I did, too!

Always wanted one, but never felt the need to get one, until I watched Firefly.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

It's an addiciton Static. No getting around it. I for one have it bad, and have two sets myself. I had bought three others which I gave as gifts at Christmas.

I encourage them as can buy an extra set, one for loaning and one for yourself.

Well, I only have two in my possession - 1 for home use and 1 for lending. However, I did buy 1 set through the 'for the troops' jobbie.

So, technically, I've bought 3 sets. Now there are birthdays coming up 'round these parts. I'm guessing the future holds more Firefly DVD's ... for my credit card at least.

As for tattoos ... I don't have any of those. Body piercings ... NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!

Well, it's a much healthier sickness than some other things we could all be addicted to, like sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Oops, wait a minute...

I'm now on my 4th purchase of the FF DVDs, and I know of 3 other friends who bought FF after seeing episodes off my loaners...

I also have copied a few video clips plus the Gag Reel onto my PowerBook so I can have a good chuckle every now and then.

consumerism is a disease where people try to justify usless objects.

Really... one set of DVDs is fine. More than one set of DVDs is a symptom. Who the frell do ya think you are... the Martha Stewart of DVD sets?

My story exactly.

Actually, I'd get another set if it were available in VHS format. Several of my friends still don't have DVD players and I can't convince them to buy a player so they can watch a show that was cancelled so long ago. And two of them live in a different province, so its not like I can have them over for a Firefly experience to get them interested if not hooked.
