Hypothetical: God comes to you and says She'll give you and the world ten years of Joss-controlled Firefly, un-messed-with by the network, and never pre-empted by stupid sports..all you have to do is cut off the little finger of your left hand, and it all happens.

Would you do it? Could you do it?
For REAL. Would it be worth that much to you?
And remember, She didn't say you couldn't take the finger to the ER and have it sewn back on...

Well, I suppose I don't use that finger (or, really, that whole hand) for much, so, yeah, I suppose I could do it... If I didn't think about it too much beforehand...

Hell yes it's worth that much to me! The only problem I have with it is the whole cutting it off myself (I assume w/o painkillers, too) thing.

Oh, and BTW, if God is a she, then shouldn't you call her Goddess? Just wonderin'...

"I refuse to submit,
To the god you say is kind.
I know what's right, and it is time,
It's time to fight, and free our minds!

Our spirits were forged in snow and ice,
To bend like steel forged over fire.
We were not made to bend like reed,
Or to turn the other cheek!"

- from the song "Thousand Years of Opression" by Amon Amarth

I gotta agree with Reaverman, yes it would definitely be worth it. One little finger for a show that great? Is there any doubt?

Having to chop it myself is the only thing that would make me think twice as well.
But then that's one of reasons alcohol is around, makes you do things you wouldn't do sober.

God is most definitely a She.
She looks like Alanis Morrisette.

On a lighter note it would be great if God/Goddess were feminine just to prove the major religions wrong.

As far as I'm concerned....I'd be plus ten years of the best show ever and have one less finger nair to keep trimmed.

DONCOAT

Well, the left pinky gets some use when I pull the ol' guitar out of the closet. If I could switch to the right pinky, I'd go for it.

However, I'd expect my fellow Browncoats to make me permanent King of All Flans for making the sacrifice for 'em.

My left pinky right? Not my right. That means I can still draw, ok then, if HE asked me, then yes. Provided I can set it up by wrapping the base of my finger with string or some such to make it numb by the time I'm ready to cut it off.

And hey, if God's doing the asking forget the paramedics and the hospital, I'll just ask Him to put it back on when I'm done, the true God wouldn't want to see me suffer. I can't say what the evangelical god would want.

Allanis should stick to singing, and Dogma should be burned. Mho.

Personally, I think it's the guy with the tail and horns who controls television, especially Fox.
Him, I'd sign the asbestos contract for my soul, if he'd give me the 10 years instead of the normal seven...

Nothing makes this life more tolerable than a show where I can forget myself for a few moments and get lost in it, so I would have to say yes. I don't like the idea of losing a part on my hand, but I guess a good series is worth a lesser digit. I hope there will be morphine available for the I'm-not-much-into-pain crowd.

Hmm, so according to the conditions laid out, I would be able to use intense painkillers before hand and have it re-attached after. So, no pain and I'd be getting the pinky back. I'd consider it.

Wash: This landing is gonna get pretty interesting
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: Oh God, of God, we're all going to die?

Cover your ears though Chrisisall

Having had some experience lately with doctors and nurses and their kindness... with the conditions you've set forth and the end result being the reattachment of my finger with no scar, I'll do it.

But I expect to sit on the other side of the throne with DonCoat for my sacrifice.

No problem, FM. We'll have them install a double-wide.

Actually, though, the more I think about this, the more my reaction becomes, "Wow, you mean that's all I'd have to do? What's the holdup? Bring on the axe!" Hmmm... I wonder if Summer would be available for chopping duties.

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

Little finger of my left hand and a doctor is standing by so I don't bleed out? Sure, I'd do it.

Yep. I love Firefly that much.

This sounds like, you know you're a browncoat if your missing your pinkie on your left hand.

I would give mine too!

It would be like our secret handshake. They'd have to write it into the plot at some point that Mal would lose his finger and have it re-attached, just like the rest of us Browncoats.

Also the original Chrisisall post said nothing about a one time deal. If you add all the chopped pinkys together at ten years each - that's a lot of years.
They better come up with decent cryostasis or something so that we can sleep every so often and catch up later at one almighty shindig.

Perhaps this is a malicious and deceptive god who makes the same deal with all the Browncoats and delivers the same ten years' worth of episodes to all of us.

Or worse... never makes good on the deal, and just laughs at us stupid fanatics.

Browncoat: Okay, pinky's off. Where's my Season 2 through 11?

God: HA ha!

(God is talking with the Browncoats)

Browncoats: Yes. Yes. This is a fertile TV show, and we will thrive and run for many, many seasons. We will rule over all TV land, and we will call it… "Joss Land".

God: I think we should call it "Television Graveyard"!

Browncoats: Ahh! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! You are a male false God!!!

God: Har har har! Mine is an evil laugh! For I am a F*x executive. Now be cancelled. AGAIN!

(False God attacks the Browncoats)

Browncoats: Ohhh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Hopefully then I wake up and it's all a bad nightmare (are there good nightmares??).
