Now I am learning about scary.

This may seem a little silly, but it kind of made my day yesterday so I thought I'd share it.

I shuffle a lot of contracts at work, each turned in by a sales rep who is indicated on the contract by a three-letter abbreviation. (You can probably guess what's coming.)

Yesterday, a new rep appeared: MAL!

I stopped what I was doing and smiled. Then I dug through the batch to make sure that I got to work all of MAL's contracts. Shiny!

Yes, sir, Captain, I'll do that paperwork for you! Right away!

Let me know what little Firefly/Serenity moments occur to you at work/school.

Man of honor in a den of thieves

I was waiting on a couple and their baby girl, who was really happy, bubbly, and sweet. When I asked what her name was they said Kaylee, and I thought, how perfect!

Well, really it was some guy named Mike Lewis (no idea what his middle name is), but I don't think Vera will be necessary. Poor guy probably has no clue, so I don't think it's intentional impostorship (new word!).

If Nathan (or Mal) turns out to be one of our sales reps, I'm quitting my job and starting my own company so he can come and sell me something! Whatever it is, I'm buying!

You should start paying MAL in Alliance Scrip, and see how long it takes him to get mad just like the real Mal!

Hmmmm. I just got to thinking about this. Could Wal-Mart morph into Blue Sun? Scary idea.

Dog, put "Vera" up, son. I believe the good Cap'n could handle himself were he being impostered ( new word?!) So I think we're good.

I don't have a Firefly/Serenity moment to add to this thread... alas, I just wanted to pop in and say "put Vera up, son."

When I do though, I'll be back.

The word is "imposterized", obviously

Blue Sun is so the future Wal-mart with defense contracts and a seedy underbelly.

Thank you Anna, I stand corrected! Gotta get these new words proper like.

That's okay, FollowMal, I think the thread's headin' in fun directions all its own. Of course, I'd be glad if you had anything to add, but I'm learning a lot of new vocabulary so I have no complaints!

(BTW, since I mentioned Mal, I wondered how long it would be before you showed up here! Glad to hear from you.)

My first Firefly moment!

A while back, a girl in my Interpersonal Communications course mis-spoke(sp), she ment to say Twix, but instead said, "Twix't", it reminded me so much of Kaylee I burst out laughing in the middle of the lecture!

That's when I knew I was hopelessly obsessed!

Oh man, this is a bad one. Well, I enjoy a good episode of Cheers every now and then and ever since I became addicted to Firefly whenever Norm mentions Vera I think of Jayne's gun. Cracks me up every time too.

Damn you Firefly, invading twenty year old sitcoms!

Maybe Jayne's knife is named "Norm".

The church across from mine is called the Chinese Alliance church... Wow!They have a service in Mandarin, there, too! We also have boxes in out cafeteria marked "Alliance" somethingorother. I've had quite a few firefly moments, I wish I could remember them all!

Today, though, no matter where I go I gotta give a plug for Serenity. I just go "Oh, you *have* to see it, it's amazing! Anyway, I was at my karate class, and we were doing those funky back kicks that River did to that guy behind the pole in the bar fight of Serenity. I got sooo excited. Maybe too much, because my partner was like "Whoa! Didn't think it was possible for you to be more flexible!" Haha, and she was the one who used to do ballet!
