Okay, so my local grocery store is called "Your Independent Grocer." Been going there since well before a certain series debuted, so it never really struck me, until yesterday.

I went in to pick up some necessities, and as I was walking out, I happened to pass by the seafood section. Now, this store chain has the word "independent" stamped across their bulletin boards, sign, labels, bags etc. Over the seafood counter was a chalkboard advertising the specials of the day. For some reason my eyes and mind caught on the words "INDEPENDENT LOBSTERS" and I started grinning like an idiot.

Y'know, uncooked lobsters do have kinda a brownish colour. . .

My four year old daughter brings me her broken sunglasses:
"Fix 'em Daddy." Tearfully.
"Honey, sometimes a thing gets broke, can't be fixed." I said, blinked, and went on with what I was doing.

To my son in the next room: "You better not be aimin' to misbehave, son."

Picking up one of my wife's daycare kids: "This boy weighs a solid ton."

You see, I'll say these things, think for a moment where I heard it, remember, and then kick myself for not knowing in the first place.

My boss: "Did...did you just speak another language?"
Me: "Yes sir."
Boss: "What?"
Me: "Chinese." And, I leave before he can ask me what I said.

Wish I could remember what it was that I actually said to him.

My cadets have learned that "gorram", "lu-suh" (phoenetically), "go-se", and "pi-gu" are words that they cannot get suspended for using.

They've also picked up from me adding "-ical" to the end of certain adjectives. . .

poetical
ironical
moronical

And also using the word "surely". . .

As an example in class, I had my students come up with possible colors from the flag of a made-up country (we were studying permutations, if yer curious). To make it more interesting, I asked them to name the country. My first class, I had several people shouting out names. When my lathargic last class failed to produce a single name, I said, in a bold, official tone, "We shall rule over this land, and we shall call it . . . This Land." A few of them chuckled at the silly name, but I'm sure none of them new the reference. And yes, I followed it with (under my breath) "I think we shall call it 'your grave!'"

I was sitting at my computer, humming yesterday, and threw out the first chords to Ballad of Serenity.

My four year old daughter picked up where I left off and continued, flawlessly.

Jealous that my very young daughter might have a better musical ear than me, I asked her what she was humming?

She said: "The same thing you were Daddy...Pireply!"

Almost brought a tear to my eye...

Last week my six year old son heard me singing (well, more like mumbling) the Firefly ballad, and looked at me funny. "Know what that was?", I asked. "Firefly". he replied. "Know what the words mean?", I asked." You can't take the sky away, the WHOLE sky, 'cause that's FREEDOM", he replied.

Hey, Manwithpez.
Been workin' an' such. I deal with the public (retail) and I been askin' everyone buying Star Wars related items if they're ready for Serenity. More times than not I get a "What? Is it science fiction?" Upon which it is my pleasure to spout off! On occassion I hear, "That's that Joss Whedon show!", and I know Serenity's got another ticket as good as sold!

I've been known to bust out the Firefly lines often, usually to the more annoying kids on the bus I ride to school. Not too long ago, when they were running around, I took it upon myself to yell..."One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!" That got 'em to sit down.

When I tried to calm down a little girl today, she said that she was angry because a boy had tried to hit her. First thing out of my mouth was "Someone tries to hit you, you hit 'em right back!" Thinking back on it, I may not have given her the best wisdom of the Fireflyverse, considering she's around the age of seven...hope she didn't hear me.

I'm just the greatest person they could ever look up to...

There's this pizza place me and my friend go to pretty regularly, and on the way is a place called Jayne's Liquors. Then, one time, there was a truck parked at our pizza hangout with a bumper sticker to the effect of "I got a gun for my wife - good trade" ("Trade? Hell, it's theft! This is the best damn gun made by man. . .")

Anyway, it was a pretty Cobb-ish day.

this was one thing that attracted me too firefly - there is a LARGE amount of political discourse about the growing strength of china's economy and the possibility of it becoming a rival superpower - so the future world in joss whedon's head seems to be grounded in a good deal of reality

This may be the funniest thing I've ever seen on these boards. How many got the joke? Or was it even on purpose?

Other day at work I took a guy's shift so he could have time off.

Guy: Oh my God! Thanks so much! You saved my life!

Me: Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

Guy: *quizzical look*

It was definitely on purpose. Three of us are big fffans, we didn't know it was coming but we got it right away. I immediately piped up with "You get a wife and all I get is a dumbass stick sounds like its rainin'??" zaniness ensued. I think the families present thought we were nuts.

I got called out this weekend for quoting Firefly in the middle of an argument with my wife.

manwithpez: I don't know why I have to cook for all these people. I don't even like grilling that much...I mean for you guys its okay, but not for a bunch of people I hardly know.

wifewithpez: Why can't you just like to grill like every other normal man!

manwithpez: In the seven years we've known each other I would think it is abundantly clear (I know that this sounds like a strange and overworded thing to say in an argument with your wife, but I do talk this way...drives her batty)that I am not every other "NORMAL" man!

wifewithpez: Well, you should try!

manwithpez: Woman, you are completely off your nut!

wifewithpez: Don't you quote Firefly at me!

And, in this short conversation with my son, who had just farted:

'lilmanwithpez: My FARTED DATTY!

manwithpez: Son, I'm trying to think of a way you could be more disgusting...it's just not coming to me.

He does it again and laughs, laughs, and laughs!

manwithpez: Could you not do that while we're...EVER!

wifewithpez: Don't listen to Daddy, honey...He's just been watching too much TV lately.

Anytime my wife and I watch a movie were what appears to be a main character is killed off quickly, she usually exclaims the same thing...much as she did when Kaylee got shot in Serenity.

wifewithpez: Fuckin' Joss Whedon!

I'll be sitting here at work, and just think about her saying that, and crack up...

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..."

We should get wifewithpez and kathieisall together so they can piss and moan about their dumass husbands who can't stop quoting Firefly!
"Does he say 'ain't' all the time now? Yeah, does he keep sayin' " I aim to misbehave" over and over? yes." It could go on for hours!ha ha ha

Sometimes, trying to produce a Firefly moment can backfire...Well, not backfire so much as just not work..case in point:

manwithpez (to my 2 year old son): Son, say "I aim to misbehave."

'lilmanwithpez: (Stares blankly)

manwithpez: Say "I aim to misbehave."

'lilmanwithpez: (Grins, but says nothing)

manwithpez: Say "I....aim...."

wifewithpez: Alexander, say "I.....aim..."

'lilmanwithpez: NO!

And he laughs maniacally.

manwithpez: Huh! I guess he aims to behave.

And, my daughter now no longer hums the rest of the song, but just the opening chords...Maybe I haven't been forcing them to watch "Pireply" enough lately...

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

I stand there and stare at him.

His friend stands there and stares at him.

We look at each other and nod. ‘Too right. Let’s do the math on that one…’

I’m still thinking about the picture. Just a friendly pic will be fine, but I’m not sure that’s what he has in mind, I mean $100? Time and resources don't cost that much...that’s not a buddy picture.

Most folks hear things in different ways, is all.

Yesterday, watching "National Treasure" for the third time, it occurs to me that Riley Poole obvviously went to the "Mrs. Cobb's Cunning Hats" Web site.

The bit that Ben Gates read of the Declaration hit a few Mal-like chords as well.

"But when a long train of buses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government and provide new guards for their future security."
Riley: "Beautiful... huh. I have no idea what you said."
Ben: "It means if there's something wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action."

Oh, and the sheriff from "Train Job" is on Gilmore Girls right now, playing someone's totally brilliant dad. I can never remember the actor's name, but I'm always glad to see him. And now I'm off to look him up.

That would be Gregg Henry. Multitalented guy, helluvan actor. One of those blue-collar actors who's constantly working, and you always remember his face, but usually from so many places that you can't quite remember the last time exactly.

Ohhhh, yeah, that's a darn good "Braveheart" speech, isn't it? Makes you go "Yeah! Git them Aliens!" right up until you start to think about the liklihood of a human computer interfacing with alien technology... I try not to think that hard. about it

Mitchum is his first name. He's totally working the Newspaper magnate role to the HILT. It's obvious where Logan gets his personality from, and I think they don't get along because they're so similar, although Logan would never admit it.

Thing is, I have no idea how many people here watch Gilmore, and I didn't want to hijack the thread...

Well I just went and picked up my Beetle from the garage, and while I was there I asked about having it resprayed. Turns out the garage in question can't do resprays, but - and I was given this guys number, they know a man who does and he lives locally. Which is great but the brilliant thing is his name:

So I kinda smiled to myself and then I says;

Reading this thread (particularly the Jayne's Liquor bit) just reminded me of a shop I had forgotten about.
In the next village over, near the train station, there used to be a wool shop called Jayne's Wool (apt name).
Wonder if she did hats???

I use the phrase 'I am an evil man' quite often, 'specially after playing a trick or prank on someone.
'Mighty' gets a good run as well. 'A special hell' as well.

Joss does seem to like to swear in ways that can get past the censors. Maybe a touch of his own stab at independance.

Yesterday at work one of my coworkers said she'd help me push the dumpster back to where it's suppose to be (the truck or something left it in an inconvient spot) and I said "Shiny! Thing weighs a solid ton!"

It took me a second to realize that she wasn't pushing and was staring at me like I'd grown another head. I asked, "What?" She said, "What did you just say?" I had to think back for a second before it hit me. I said, "Oh! It's a Firefly thing." She nodded knowingly and said, "Right. You're little sci-fi thing." I got defensive with, "It's not a 'little sci-fi thing!' It's an AWESOME sci-fi thing!" She just rolled her eyes and sighed, "Whatever." and helped me push.

So I suppose you could say I had a 'Jayne' moment as well.

I got defensive with, "It's not a 'little sci-fi thing!' It's an AWESOME sci-fi thing!" She just rolled her eyes and sighed, "Whatever." and helped me push.

So I suppose you could say I had a 'Jayne' moment as well.

Obviously I'm gonna hafta ed-u-ma-cate her on it. I'll tie her to a chair if I have to!
She WILL love Firefly as much as I do!
Mwahahahahaha*coughcough*hahaha!

A worthy endeavor. I give you my full and unmitagated support (From across an Internet connection)

Our Idols lay in Ruins,
We'd have saved them if we could,
But we still chose to worship,
The Places where our Idols Stood

HE'S ONLY SIX!!!

Good to hear things are going well (well, I mean as good as they can be, what with Iraq and all...).
Stay safe now, y'hear?
