Yeah, I know...I heard "...Serenity..." on TV today and was sorely disappointed to find out it was just for incontinence pads!!!

I always thought that the strongest theme in Firefly was that it was about people with everyday problems. You can't get much more prosaic than personal hygene.

On a semi-related note, have you checked out Tash's Blue Sun Toilet Paper over in the Blue Sun room?

I'll spare the messy details, but when I was on chemo I discovered that this sort of product is rather essential ... even when you're at home and handy to the bathroom. I'd say "Serenity" is a good name for them ... much better than "Anti-Stress-Induced-Heart-Attack-From-Sudden-Unexpected-Incontinence Pad".

"Serenity" rolls of the tongue just that much better.

I never got to watch Buffy, so I don't know any of the character names (beyond the title character).

I'm thinking a tampon line should be named after one of the vampires, then the tagline could be "(brand x) tampons: they *really* suck!"

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I'm sorry to laugh at your post, but it stopped me in my tracks. I hope you learn the difference between a tampon and a pad before you need an incontinence product. The image of someone trying to...okay, you get the idea now, yes?

QUICKSAND

[INT. - NIGHT]

KAYLEE and INARA are sitting in the SERENITY CARGO BAY.

KAYLEE
Wow, the life of a companion sure if glamorous, Inara.

INARA
Oh, thanks, but it's not all it's cracked up to be, Kaylee.

KAYLEE
If you say so. Um, Inara.... do you ever... you know...

INARA
What? Wash my clients feet?

KAYLEE
No, no... do you ever... feel... less than fresh?

INARA
Oh... OH... I get it. (reaches for something behind her)

(INARA holds up a box for the camera, labelled 'Spampons')

INARA
Sometimes I sure do, Kaylee, and when you're in outer space, millions of light years from the nearest OB/GYN, you need the best protection you can get. And that's why I use "Serenity Spampons," and "Serenity Spads." For that more-than-fresh feeling!

KAYLEE
Wow, does Mal know about this?

INARA
Oh Kaylee... What Mal doesn't know could fill the entire Serenity Valley!!

(blurry figure appears in the doorway behind them. we hear MAL's voice)

MAL
(from the doorway) Hey, what are you girls talking about?

INARA and KAYLEE
Nothing!

(INARA winks, hands the box of spampons to KAYLEE)

VOICE OVER
Okay, so here's how it is. Spampons. For that not so fresh feeling. Shiny.

Oh man, Quicksand, that's some good stuff! You had me choking on my drink, almost falling out of my chair, and reading it aloud to the first person to pass by. Definitely hit the trifecta

Important people don't do field work.

Regarding some confusion about Serenity tampons and Serenity, the Movie

"Hey did you see Serenity yet?"

"Sure did!"

"Really? How?"

"Pulled some strings..."

Kaylee: "What's so damn important about being proper? It don't mean nothing out here in the black."
Simon: "It means more out here. It's all I have..."

Huh?

You know, I'd been on this site for about 6 weeks when I posted in this forum. As I recall, I had finally gotten over my initial shyness, started Shadow War...But, I do remember this thread quite a bit. It was the first real time I had felt like I had gotten a laugh here. Anyways, I've been seeing some people posting about Serenity Incontinence pads again, so I thought I would throw this out there very much like a blast from the past....

Enjoy!

Tell me about it, ages and ages ago when I started following the BDH I typed serenity into google and got incontinence pads. Do it now though and you get IMDB, the official site and the Apple trailer. Poor old incontincence pads have been relegated to fourth - the company must be pee'd.

Grr. (arg.)

As a person named Serenity, I have always disliked Serenity pads. People say to me "You're name's Serenity? Like the diapers for old people?" and the like. Not a fun game.

But several of you have made me laugh, and I appreciate that.

I can't wait until people say "You're name's really Serenity? Like that really great movie I saw?"

"He looked bigger when I couldn't see him."
