Allow me to introduce myself, I AM NOT a man of wealth and taste...

Howdy, all - I've made a handful of post in the last couple o' months, but I wanted to make a formal intro so maybe I'll feel like less of a virtual peeping Tom. There's no dress code here, right...?

I'm a late inductee into the world of Joss in general and of Firefly in particular. Was introduced by a friend to the BDS while recovering from heart surgery last summer. I could see early in that this was a GOOD show, but for some reason (I blame the pain meds) it took a few months (and another viewing) for me to realize just HOW GOOD. But now I'm pretty well hooked - at least to the extent that my time and budget will allow (I like to accessorize my enthusiasms...I mean I REALLY like to accessorize my enthusiasms)... I finally got the BDM a little over a month ago, and after 3 viewings still haven't quite got over Wash's abrupt skewerization (again, I blame the pain meds).

Anyway, beside my recognition of Joss as being relatively god-like, I want to express my appreciation for and recognition of you good folks who have been onhand since Day 1, keeping this deal alive and kicking so that latecomers like myself can tardily stumble in and innocently ask, "Where's the buffet?" Sincerely, thanks for the effort and determination.

No, really - where's the buffet? I had to leave the house in a hurry this morning and didn't get to pack my lunch...

How do I work the emoticons?

It was like that when we got here!

Thank you, Chindi, for the welcome. And I've never let our society's temporal prejudices and conventions get between me and my "milk" (after all, it does a body good, right?)

Howdy Washnwear! Welcome...don't feel too bad about being late to the party - I just discovered Firefly and Serenity last year and still feel quite guilty about that! It's a great place here and the bleachers are filling up nicely! We're glad you're here and 'de-lurked'!

Hey there, Washnwear!
I hope everything went well with that heart-surgery thing. Well, for starters, it brought you here, so that's something gone well right there.
Welcome!

BTW, you copy and paste the text next to the emoticon to use it. A bit old-school, I know, but this board has been around for a while.

I FEEL welcome. Guilt...I can remember, back in 2002, noticing on the periphery of my attention that some folks were mighty wrought up over some TV show that was on and about to NOT be on...a show I had absolutely no familiarity with (and usually confused with Farscape)...and in my ignorance I MAY, at the time, have thought something about people needing to get lives... Honest, everybody - I had no idea. Glad to be here!

Welcome!

The docs seem satisfied, and I must say I feel better in general than I did...though it didn't prove to be quite the life-changing experience I had sort of lead myself to expect. But, as you say, it did more or less bring me here, so all things considered I'd have to say it was an unqualified success.

Thanks! Okay - here goes nuthin'...I'm an emoticon in the wind; watch me soar...

(no, I don't feel nauseous - I just think that last one's really clever)

Hi!! Welcome to the site Washnwear!

It might not be a good thing that you found out how to use the emoticons...I know I tend to overuse those things like crazy!

Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Ahoy, WASHnwear! You are #26352 to sign aboard
our shiny ship. I see you're already furnished
with Mudder's Milk, but please wander over here
to the Welcome Home table and try the berries
from the big bowl. Whipped cream and/or dip

should be ingesting.

Yes, there will be buffet up in the galley, and
ice-planets in the cooler (Your choice: vanilla,
chocolate, Persephonian allspice) on the bottom
shelf.

Please do not step on ShipsCat or into her dish.

Share the browncoaty love whenever there's an
opportunity. :;-)

Welcome to our shiny ship, WASHnWear!

I'm so glad you started an "I'm new thread", cuz that allows me to unlock the storeroom and give you your very own browncoat...

*hands WASHnwear a browncoat that fits pretty darn good*

There... now you're virtually official.

I didn't get in on Firefly when it was on tv, I had a pretty good excuse ( we didn't get the F*x channel where I live--we're very rural ). But I sure did fall head over heels in love with it when I saw it on the SciFi channel marathon right before the release of the movie. Been here since and holding the line- waiting til Mal comes back.

To see if there's a screening near you go here:

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

Welcome to the board Washnwear (though you seem to have been around awhile)! Thanks for the "official" introduction. Hope to see you posting more often with us.

Be sure to spread the word and share the show and BDM with others as your friend did with you. The more the merrier, right?

Take care and keep flyin'!

Mmmm, berries! A lot healthier than my usual fare (sun-ripened Pop Secret and fresh-squeezed diet Dr. Pepper)

As for ShipsCat, with a little luck I'll be alright - got 2 at home (Dave and Skinny) that I'm used to dodging.
Thanks for the welcome!

...feels good like I knew it would! You know it's a quality garment if it can make me (5'8") look tall.

Great! Better that than officially virtual

Back at that time in our nation's history, I had a very lean TV watching regimen...2-3 shows that I kept up with fairly religiously, and beyond that my aim was to keep the damn thing (TV) turned OFF. Wasn't looking for new shows to capture my heart, mind, and time. Let's hear it for Browncoat buddies willing to loan out their DVDs!

Thank you for the welcome and the groovy outerwear!

Thank you, and yes, I confess I did a little lurking...posted to a few threads 'til I got self-conscious about people wondering who this unannounced interloper was (not because of anybody saying anything, but because I am 100% naturally paranoid). Mostly I was trying to decide if I was "board material" - I've never been involved in one of these type deals before. Now that I've been so warmly received - got my bad-ass coat and a bellyful of berries - maybe I'll start making myself a little more obvious.

I am surely of a similar opinion - I aim to propogate!
