You know what's really funny about that...

I know Providence (or P-town as it's known by Rutgersians) to be a veritable Gay Mecca.

Hmmm.

So? Either the mob is more tolerant than it used to be, or the gays and the gangsters just ignore each other. Probably the latter.

What's funny about it is the image of a gay mafia. While I'm sure that gay mafiosi must exist, I picture the gay mob dominating the interior decoration and birkenstock rackets...

"Now, I suggest that unless you'd like Vincenzo to put up some striped curtains to go with your polka-dotted wallpaper, that we come to some sort of understanding..."

Ah, the stereotypes run rampant through my little brain...

official moll of the gay mafia

Well, Panny, you'd have to be the official gun moll of the Lesbian mafia!

I'm reminded of reading Thucydides in college. "The Lesbian fleet attacked." "The Lesbians were not cowed by the Athenian demands." Provoked most bizarre imagery.

Back to gay gangsters. Some older crime novels I've read had gay hitmen as stock characters. (I guess that's catering to another stereotype, that gay men tend to be violent.) Then there's Wilmer the "gunsel" in The Maltese Falcon

The innocent moviegoer was allowed to think that Wilmer was Caspar Guttman's leg man and bodyguard. But if you pay attention you can tell that their relationship is supposed to be a little more intimate. (Can't remember if that's from the book.) The funny thing is that in later crime fiction, "gunsel" was taken to mean "thug". But I'm pretty sure it comes from the Yiddish word for "kept boy"!

Hey!! Everyone knows that Canadians are just a twisted cross-breeding of British and French. From the English they get the Mounties, from the Scottish they get the word Aboot and from the French they got....

I don't know...

Some names of cities and stuff?

Twelve spheres of unendurable brightness spalled the velvety blackness of space.
The silence on Lester Tourville's flag bridge was absolute
And then the spell was broken as Shannon Foraker looked up from her console from where she had just sent a seemingly innocent command to the main computers of State Security's finest Superdreadnoughts.

You know, speaking of that, I'm going to hijack the thread just a bit. I've grown curious as to just where Firefly has filmed episodes in the past. Clearly it's outdoors, seemingly in the barrens of California or the American Southwest (as, last I checked, Canada didn't look quite so high-temperatured *grin* despite having open areas and wilderness aplenty)...

And Joss, good to have you here. It's always nice to know, on both sides of an artistic exchange, that the other side appreciates the efforts one makes. *smile* Best of luck to you and to Firefly!

History doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it merely shouts "Weren't you listening the first time?!?" and lets fly with a club.

As for these *supposed* Canadians, I believe Pandora is right, it is all a conspiracy. They are E-vil. So evil I would say they are the Fru-its of the De-vil. E-vil. (Pandy, quoting So I married an axe murderer always makes me want to bat my eyes and make a pass at ya!)

Joss Whedon, you unscrupulous bastard. You have the audacity to produce shows that are good (well, actually spectacular but we shouldn't infalte your ego; look what happened to Shakespeare, you bunch of hacks).

Thanks for posting on this board. It is the only board I've ever thought was worth posting at, and it's good to see that you still retain all your faculties (oh those whacky Canucks) after Fox raked you over the coals (and yes, I realize they are being nice by letting you shop-out Firefly, but let me have my bitter disposition).

But, I'm being too serious and this is a board of fans (those ravenous beasts hungry for drama, pop-culture, the Shemp, and pretty girls who kick ass) so I'll knock it off.

Congratulations on your new bundle of joy, noise, and ulcers. My best to you and the wife (whose name is very neat; I like that name).

And thanks Joss. Just thanks.

Sorry it took me a while, I've loved Firefly since those Hwoon Dahns at the company that shall not be named in your presence, first aired The Train Job. Sorry, I was a little busy with school work to catch the commercials, just as well though, as those "A girl in a box" adverts would have ruined the show for me if I saw them. I've loved all of your work from Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The Series (Toy Story, and Alien Ressurection included) until the BDM.

Even though I only watched Firefly because I was deluded about its pretense, because I thought that Sci-fi channel was running a show about some weird vampire pyro. I think that might have come from the fact that I think they mentioned Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the adspace. ... yeah. I loved it anyway. Before I knew it was Joss, too.

WHISPER

"Flan" was originally coined by Nathan Fillion when in an interview he stumbled on "firefly fan" and said "firefly FLAN" instead. It kinda caught on after that. So Flan and browncoat are interchangeable.
