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

Yeah, I think the sign is indicating that a Snickers "fills" you up. At least, that's what I came up with.

That is really hi-larious!

Years ago, back in the day, fans especially partial to Nathan coined the term "Fillionaire". Seems to me that some wacky fan artist made a t-shirt design incorporating the term... even made it look like like fancy money... heh...

Maybe I should go look in my really old archives... d'oh! It wasn't me....

OH, heh, maybe I should have said!

Seen in Minneapolis. And yes, it's real because I can't do anything with photoshop. And I took the picture myself.

Can somebody say what that image is? I only have a red x.

The Fillionaires are interviewed, and they explain the origins, and Nathan also explains to Alan his version, all in the Done the Impossible documentary.

I'm sorry you can't see it.

It's a billboard with the words "Become a" and then the word "Fillionaire" in the Snickers font.

Over on the original board (O.B.) for Firefly some of us researched when the term "Fillionaire" was first coined. The post was from Kellyn and dated January 16, 2003... so "Fillionaire" has been around the fandom for a while now.

A group of Fillionaires were part of the live audience for the taping of a pilot Nathan made for a show named "Alligator Point". The Alligator Point Shindig took place around April of 2003 and was BIG fun. I brought some Firefly art stuff for the gang, and also made a graphic celebrating our Fillionaire name:

The design is meant to relate to the money/millionaire play on words in Fillionaire.

Anyway, it's really fun to see the name big as life on a billboard!

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

Very, very shiny...in fact extraordinarily so, both billboard and graphic! But then everyone already knows what an artist you are, 11th, so it comes as no surprise.
