The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

So, the bootlegger's reverse is the car version of the Crazy Ivan?

Well, of course, Crazy Ivan is a US Navy term for a Soviet submarine maneuver, characterized by any number of sudden and sharp turns, used by submarine crews to "look behind" them. (This verbiage stolen heavy handedly from The Wiki.) Was that what they called the stunt in Serenity? I could have sworn there was another (similar) name for it.

What, you think we're some kind of cultural illiterates? I'll have you know I saw The Hunt for Red October several times! I would have liked to have seen Montana.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, you know, just in case one or two folks haven't seen it....

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I've done a bootlegger's turn. My ex the police detective showed me how. It would take money, alcohol and freedom to mock to make me see The Dukes of Hazard in any form.

I do, however, have a ticket to the preview, thanks to Bicyclops.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Aside from being in the EW must see list, Serenity/Firefly also appears on the front page of TV Guide it appears.

Well, that might have something to do with Buffistas working as writers at both EW and TV Guide.

And yet you can't walk out your front door without breaking a tooth.

Now, Hec. I frequently get several blocks away from my front door before breaking something. Sometimes I travel across country before breaking something.

I think we simply need to fit you with a parking brake which you can yank at any time, perhaps keeping you from hitting the ground, or simply reversing your direction.
