Time for a new addition to the ongoing saga of Browncoat purdyness!

If you're so inclined, please post a picture of yourself so we can all see who we talk to here

How to post images here: http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=5&t=29479
(Short version: Image must be hosted somewhere on the internet and all you need is the URL. Photobucket, imageshack, and flickr are your friends. See above-linked thread for further details, or click 'reply with quote' to see how others have done it.)
Also, PLEASE NOTE: the tutorial thread is an excellent resource and we don't want it to get overloaded and weighed down. Please test your image posts in one of the many 'test' threads scattered over the board, particularly out of the way in troll country, or start your own to help keep the tutorial nice and easy to load.

Most recent picture thread: http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.asp?b=11&t=32240

Index of all past picture threads and sub-picture threads: http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.asp?b=11&t=27728

In the last couple threads we started doing something a little different. For those who want to participate, we're coming up with little themes for everyone to give us their interpretation of.

The theme of 'freedom' was the most recent

Post, comment, chat, have fun!

(Thanks Steamer!)

You should have seen his face! Oh, I'm a bad man.

And, since we're doing freedom....On the roof again. (Back in my good ol' transit days when I wasn't supposed to be on top of the bus for any reason - but we were way the hell down in Boston where they couldn't catch us. )

Libertas sumptus, freedom costs. (This here's me with Cpl. Tilden of the 76th.)

*I think I found the newest pic thread, evidently I had originally posted this on an old one*

Seeing as that I am finally part of the Verse and Lysander hasn't bothered to post any photos, I figured I would share. This is us! Lysander took me to one of his favorite places, a beautiful outdoor theatre in the mountains.

Yes, it does get cold in Texas... besides we're in a valley.

A picture in which we are both smiling? A beautiful rarity.

We give great sarcastic expressions... at least Lysander does, I'm not sure I was aware that sarcasm was supposed to be the expressed expression.

I like to look at him more than the camera.

Yuppers. Ah, my King Lysander, you are amazing. (Isn't he hot!?!! I know, I can't figure out how I found such a gorgeous man. And please, feel free to explain that concept to him, he doesn't really listen to me on that one.)

I think he's Foxy.
It's not just a good answer, it's an honest answer.

Tuesday, January 15, 2008 8:51 PM

Aww. Hope the warm and fuzzy Nazis aren't about because those are great pics. Don't know why Lys never posted pics before. You both are so very purdy. Yes, he is man purdy. I'm sure someday he'll listen to you (have the same hang up myself).

Yer welcome MSB (distracted for a bit on the whimper).

(Okay. Very distracted)

If I were to guess, I'd say it's because you're gorgeous. If the two of you were any hotter, the planet may be in trouble!

Ok, I'm sad that there's gonna be a gathering, albeit a small gathering, of browncoats so close to me and I can't be there. Not that I'd interject my presence upon your together time, NV and MSB.

But still. It's lonely out here in the black.

Oh, and no pictures of me for a while. Had to sell my camera a while back. Bleh.

That photo is beautiful EvilDead--reminds me of my backyard in Michigan, and it's nice to see that there are other Bruce Campbell fans out there.

Thank you to those with the lovely comments, it gave me much smiles and thoughtful words are always appreciated. If he weren't busy with other plans, we'd be at DC08 as Captain and Inara, but another time hopefully. Clicking back through threads, I love all the pics of people in costume.

And BTW man purdy? That's the most fantastic thing I've read this week.

Well, as I recall it, last year, the D*C photos were trotted out in several of the regular-run pic threads, and all anybody talked about in those threads for quite a spell was D*C. Consequence of that, of course, was that the regular cam companions who hadn't gone to D*C didn't really have anything to say, and weren't really part of the discussions and pic-posting. So my proposal is to continue on with the regular threads as usual, and then alongside those regular pic threads, devote several *special* pic threads to D*C photos. I'll still go and have a look at the D*C stuff. I just still want to be able to participate in spite of the aftermath of D*C.

I nominate this for the theme of our next thread!
two problems here:
first, MsB is blind as a luney bat and therefore not to be trusted
second, it would be another category in which i couldn't participate XD
(NOTE: i'm not fishing for compliments; i've just known me a very long time, now, and don't happen to see what MsB thinks she sees)

I guess I must be blind as a luney bat too, then, because I can see it. :)

Causal - My week after D*C last year was pretty crazy. Plus, that was probably around the time I stopped getting on as much at home, and I can't see the pics here at work. I thought I had seen separate threads, but I am probably confusing that with the 76th board. It sounds like a good proposal to me, though I don't get on these threads much (extreme boredom + no one else is awake/online yet), so I am not sure how much my input will affect it.

You know... if you said that the D*C pictures took up a lot of space, and the posters who weren't there could get lost in the shuffle, you might have an argument. If you said that I had ever at any point stated that the post-con picture threads were for con pics only, you might have an argument. You'd also be a liar, as I never said any such thing and in fact tried to encourage everyone to post because that's what these threads are about. I'm not a fan of segregation. For that precise reason, I don't see the benefit of segrating the picture threads according to who was at D*C and who was not. I would encourage anyone who went to any kind of convention to post pictures of it here to share with us and the whole community. I know it rarely works that way, but I would still encourage it.
Still, you might have an argument, and I might consider it, if you were being less sulky about not being able to be there and not willfully excluding yourself from any conversation about it or posting of pictures in the same thread. Because that, my friend, is not my problem. I love having you here, I love having everyone here, and I wouldn't exclude anyone on the basis of DragonCon, and you know that. If a made two threads for those who went and those who didn't, it would just be a means of separating the community, and I won't do that.

I don't think that being cautiously ashamed, or selectively ashamed, or in any way ashamed of who I am is any way to live my life.

This is false, just for the record.
(Well, there was the instance where someone got snippy because a 'D*C' thread got 'off topic' but that someone was not me, and I was quick to point out that it wasn't an exclusively D*C thread, because it wasn't.)

Oh, for fuck's sake....

You are perfectly capable of starting a new thread yourself. PhoenixRose, the lovely and inspiring visage that she is, is not the sole keeper and creator of picture threads.

And, also, for fuck's sake, D*C is nearly 8 fucking months away! Why in the fucking fuck (over-use just for fun) do you have to suggest planning ahead for a picture that may or may not be taken and posted?!?

For that precise reason, I don't see the benefit of segrating the picture threads according to who was at D*C and who was not. I would encourage anyone who went to any kind of convention to post pictures of it here to share with us and the whole community. I know it rarely works that way, but I would still encourage it.
Still, you might have an argument, and I might consider it, if you were being less sulky about not being able to be there and not willfully excluding yourself from any conversation about it or posting of pictures in the same thread. Because that, my friend, is not my problem. I love having you here, I love having everyone here, and I wouldn't exclude anyone on the basis of DragonCon, and you know that. If a made two threads for those who went and those who didn't, it would just be a means of separating the community, and I won't do that.

As an aside, before I get rolling, I have to say--I'm not sure exactly what I said that was "sulky" exactly, unless of course, it's considered sulky to suggest that the picture threads are anything other than perfection itself. I'm not casting aspersions and I'm not moaning about how terrible everything is. If I were, then I'd understand the "sulky" thing. I in fact did feel pretty left behind by the conversation last time around. I didn't say anything about it then, because I figured the D*C phase would work itself out and we'd all return to business as usual. What I did was to suggest a possible course of action. Is that not OK?

I think that somehow I have offended you personally. I have no idea how I did that, but I regret that I did, because that was obviously not my intent.

You seem to have taking me as suggesting that there be some sort of alternate pic-posting community for D*Cers, and one for non-attendees. Believe me, that is not at all what I was suggesting. I was suggesting something along the lines of a sub-picture thread (like "Browncoats--To Arms!" or "Show off your Pets" or "Browncoat Ink." Now all three of those are specialized threads revolving around some particular facet of Browncoat life (and, in particular, cam companion life). But surely no one thinks those segregated the community into ink-having and non-ink-having Browncoats. Rather, we simply participated if we had ink (or weapons or pets) and didn't if we didn't have such things. Because the conversation tends to get pretty specific in there, and if you can't talk the talk, well, there's not much for you.

Now, my experience from D*C '07 was that there was a good string there were the threads were pretty absorbed with D*C issues--may not have been noticeable to anyone who attended D*C, cause you'd all have been in on the discussions. But that was my impression. I do know that there are others who felt that way, though I'm not naming names, just in case they want to steer clear of the controversy. Suffice it to say that I wasn't the only person that had that impression.

Now, in saying that I experienced a period of feeling pretty significantly left out of conversations, I'm not trying cast any blame on anybody. I certainly understand why y'all would want to talk at great length about such an experience. I have no quarrel with that at all. My only point was to suggest that such conversations be had in a dedicated sub-picture thread (like the ones we've had before). I'm certainly not suggesting any "segregating" of the community.

Saying that the only reason you want separate threads for D*C is because otherwise you are left out is being sulky.
Insulted me? Yes, yes you did. I'm not sure if there's a point in trying to explain, again, that I actively encouraged everyone to post regardless of the time of year, but I did. Making out that I, as the main caretaker of the threads and the one who started the pic threads right after D*C, somehow left anyone out in the cold, is offensive to me.
Insisting that not only you but others were left out is doubly sulky and offensive, and forgive an old woman's memory, but I also think it's untrue.
Also, I don't know if you noticed, but those sub-picture threads? They ain't been doing anything lately. I got tired of messing with/fighting for smaller and sub picture threads that were for the most part ignored. People posted pets, weapons, sometimes hands and feet and sometimes even tattoos in the regular picture threads, regardless of having special threads for it. I tried, it was pointless, it took up a lot of my time, and I stopped trying. No one noticed or cared when they dropped out of sight. No one tried to bring them back. They're easy enough to get to. There's a link to the index in every single picture thread going back at least six months. But no one cares. So why should I?
Am I being unreasonable? Perhaps. Am I taking things personally? Yes. Should I? Well too bad, I can't change it. I pour my heart and soul into this community and these threads, I can't help but feel hurt when some efforts are ignored, or subsequently give them up as lost causes.
I have found there's little point in fighting for organization when nobody cares.
Really, there's no point in fighting for anything if no one else involved cares. It will just make you crazy.

I don't think that being cautiously ashamed, or selectively ashamed, or in any way ashamed of who I am is any way to live my life.

The current inspirational topic for the camcams is "Freedom". "Let Pictures Ring" is (I'm just guessing here PR, correct as necessary) taken from the phrase, "Let freedom ring."
Which may be an Americanism...

We have the Liberty Bell in Pilladelphia, Pennsylvania; the Freedom Bell in Charlotte, North Carolina; the Peace Bell (largest swinging bell in the world until recently) in Newport, Kentucky (though claimed as a Cincinnati, Ohio 'regional attraction'), and I imagine several other bells of significance scattered around the country.

Back in the day, bells were used to summon the militia (every male able to carry and/or load a rifle) to impress upon the British army the fact that we wanted to be free from their monarchy.

Sorry for the history lesson.

Never... NEVER appologise for a history lesson where I am concerned, Honey! I live on History like I live on air and coffee! (and cheese... and... oh you get the picture!)

I hadn't heard that one, and I suspect it is an Americanism... to my shame I know little about the Revolutionary war, much more about the War between the States of the late 19th Century... Now that you mention it 'let freedom ring' does ring a bell (pun intended ) from a scrapbooking page I saw in an American magazine once! I didn't know the bit about the bells being rung to summon the local militia though!

In Australia we didn't ever bother fighting off the British - we might just let them know we're going to be a republic one day... but we'll see if we care enough about that... Of course we never had the same issues you guys did... we just took on board the convicts and used them to build our nation.

HK... You are so sexy you make all other browncoats fade into the background... and since we know the browncoats are the sexiest fandom in the world, that's saying something!!

don't forget that it can also be used in conjunction with innocuous words to make them way more awesome (e.g., fuckhead, fuckstick, etc.). so, you see, it is a very functional and convenient all-purpose word and modifier. ((nods all scholarly-like))

Seconded.

Also HK, I really like that pic of you in the goggles.

This is for MsB and HK and any others who may find it funny:

Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today is the word fuck. Out of all the English words that begin with the letter "f", fuck is the only word that is referred to as the "f" word. It's the one magical word. Just by it's sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate, and love.
Fuck, as most words in the English language, is derived from German; the word "fleckin" which means to strike.
In English fuck falls into many grammatical categories:
As a transitive verb for instance
"John fucked Shirley."
As an intransitive verb
"Shirley fucks."
Its meaning's not always sexual
It can be used as an adjective as in
"John's doing all the fucking work."
As an adverb
"Shirley talks too fucking much."
As an adverb enhancing an adjective
"Shirley is fucking beautiful!"
As a noun
"I don't give a fuck!"
As a part of a word
"Absofuckinglutly!"
or
"Infuckincredible!"
And as almost every word in the sentence
"Fuck the fucking fuckers."
But you must realize that aren't too many words with the versatility of fuck. As in these examples describing situations such as
Fraud
"I got fucked at the used car lot."
Dismay
"Ah fuck it!"
Trouble
"I guess I'm really fucked now."
Aggression
"Don't fuck with me buddy"
Difficulty
"I don't understand this fucking question"
Inquiry
"Who the fuck was that?"
Disatisfaction
"I don't like what the fuck is going on here."
Incompetantce
"He's a fuck off"
Dismissal
"What don't you go outside and play hide-and-go-fuck-yourself?"
I'm sure you can think of many more examples. With all of these multipurpose applications, how can anyone be offended when you use the word?
We say use this unique, flexable word more often in your daily speech. It will identify the quality of your character immediately. Say it loudly and proudly:
FUCK YOU!

OK, it's getting on toward three-digit posts. For the next thread theme, might I toss 'crazy' out there? Like 'cute' and 'freedom', it's a continuous undertheme in Firefly.
