Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The woman who planned up the DVDs to the Troops was Susie, and I can't remember her board name.

I can sum up.

Kiba got an email from Kai Cole (Joss' wife) explaining that Firefly was in trouble, and would she help distribute an internet petition to help save it.

Kiba said of course. I emailed Kiba and told her petitions were for chumps. And offered to help if I could.

Kristen got a signed copy of Out of Gas from Tim in the mail with a note, "hope you'll stick with us as long as we're on" or something to that effect.

We got all mama-bearish. Contacted Kiba, told her we were in. Decided on Variety ad and postcard campaign.

Called Chris Buchanan (Mutant Enemy Prez) and said, "we need stuff to ebay to finance campaign. He verily sent stuff. We verily got lots o money.

Encouraged fans to send postcards to FOX. Purchased ad in Variety. Organized nationwide viewing parties. Sent hosts of viewing parties lots of postcards to distribute, along with Nathan Fillion autographed headshot, his gross low-fat bean dip recipe, and a F:IA t-shirt.

Sent press copies of Ariel and asked them to take another look. Sent copies of Variety ad to sponsors saying, "dude, we advertised for you, give us some love and buy more ad time."

Show canceled.

Hooray, it's xmas. We get a tour of Serenity and crew jackets. Yippee.

Sent postcards to SciFi, UPN, wherever Joss was pitching is where we directed postcards.

Fans send us to spa and beautiful flowers. We feel the love and call it quits.

Now tagless for your comfort.

his gross low-fat bean dip recipe

When you use full fat sour cream, refried beans and guacamole, it's really not that bad.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think you can drop the bean dip at that point.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think part of that might be my fault.

So the backlash is due to the bean dip, obviously.

Strega! Dude. Someone at work told me your BSG recaps are sooo good. And I was all, "strega is a friend o' mine."

And he was impressed.

Aw, thank him for me, especially since I've felt sort of iffy about them. I suppose it might help if I'd get them done more than 20 minutes before deadline.

Deadlines are the weapon of THE MAN.

From Tim's interview:

MINEAR: We thought we were going to be killed by that dance show on ABC. We were killed by that dance show on Fox. Fox kept referring to their dance show as “the cavalry” – “it’s on its way and you’re going to have this great lead-in.” The cavalry got there, but it killed us.

Fox can blow my big fat penis. Jackholes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Aw, thank him for me, especially since I've felt sort of iffy about them.

They could use more Nine Inch Nails and T.S. Eliot references.
