Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Nuh-uh. I learned the hard way not to dare people frivilously.
I'm hopped up on 85%cocoa Dark Chocolate, and I'm looking to be dangerous, just a hint of a dare, and I so would.... In fact, as time goes on, and I've got all this chocolatey goodness coursing through my veins and nothing to focus it on, it becomes more and more likely that I will go post there, just to stir more shit up, all on my own impetus.

It's that or do laundry, and we wouldn't want that, would we?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

WS, do the laundry. It's not our fight.

Besides, taking the high road means we get to even smugger than usual.

And smugness is better than jackholery anyday!

(I'd love to get in there, too, the mood I'm in.)

What is even happening?

I think bon is right about his confusion with the term "buffistas" though.
Me, too. Actually, I've seen it used (occasionally) long before the Phoenix board existed, or before I was introduced to the community at WX, as a general Buffy-fan collective noun. Whether or not it was before J H-M used it at TT, I do not know.

Whether or not it was before J H-M used it at TT, I do not know.

I hope not, because the phrase "Do not startle the buffistas" cracks me up so much I really want that to be the origin.

I can't even.

I was talking about the Buffistas at Whedonesque being lukewarm 'Browncoats'. Their one true love is Joss Whedon. Close second: Buffyverse. They watched Firefly out of loyalty to Joss, not because the show captivated them on its own merit.

What an arrogant prat. Perfect example of the sort of dweeb that gives fans a bad name (not that his alien punctuation adversary seems any better). I'd happily see Allyson tear chunks off him.

Aimee, if I mail you all the clean stuff, will you fold it?

Sure! I like folding.

This sentence makes me wanna ask if REAL Firefly fans watched the show out of loyalty to the commercials and not because the show captivated them on its own merit. Cuz, seriously, how many people just stumbled into watching the show with nothing to introduce them to it? I'm sure a few people DID, by way of channel surfing or walking into a room where the tv was already on (and I wonder how many of THOSE who had the tv already on were buffistas?), but the percentage has to be relatively small.
