Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Cindy, in Firefly:
I need help interpreting this one. I went to see TTT tonight. In the VCR was the tape from Christmas morning and evening (my children, seeing their presents, opening presents, being goofy, singing, etc.).
Because I have the VCR programmed to record on Fridays at 8, the mother turned on and recorded. However, my VCR is set up such that it records whatever station to which the cable box is tuned. We were out. M-i-l let the kids watch Sponge Bob, which must have been on at 8:00. So, because Firefly wasn't on, Sponge Bob has been recorded over my Christmas video of my family.
Is this a good sign for the show? A bad sign for my family? Will Nickelodeon be picking up Firefly? Will the Red Sox ever again win the world series? Should Joss turn Simon into a big, yellow sponge? These are the kind of things I need to know.

If I only had a brain...
Kiba Rika in Firefly (nonspoilery):
There's a book you need to get, called "Latin Sexual Vocabulary." It will solve all these problems for you.
Or you could just get a basic Catullus reader with a glossary in the back.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Emily - in Natter:
So I got my first birthday present -- a shelf screw! No, seriously, I was buying one so I can finally put my bookcase back together, and I made some comment about that being a nice birthday present, and the guy gave me my 20 cents back. I was touched all out of proportion to the actual cash value.

Allyson in Firefly - on spam and the joys of a fandom campaign.
Oddly, checking my mail and a spam comes up with the title, "FIND SERENITY NOW!"
Do You Need A More Positive Outlook On Life?
Does Your Marriage Suffer from Unstable Emotions?

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

Okay, now that's a lie. I bought Emily a skirt off the discount rack for her birthday before xmas. Fess up, missy!

Betsy, in Natter:
We went to Cirque du Soleil last night. It was (an overused word) magical.
However, there was one incredibly beautiful act with two mostly-naked men flying through the air and grabbing on to each other. My husband looked at me and said "The Buffistas have ruined me for life."

Kat:
I also think the Buffistas should have a white elephant. Wrap up the worst gift you got and send it on with lots of love to another Buffista. As my friend Benn wrote, "One person’s trash is another person’s ironic trash."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
A couple of weeks ago, in Firefly 1, non-spoilery:
Betsy - Wash and Zoë were retiring to their bunks to play tiddlywinks.
shrift - Now I wanna see an episode that's All Wash, All Zoë, All Tiddlywinks.
Or maybe Tiddlywinks Death Match.
One Tiddly to Wink Them All.
This post brought to you by: Hello, cold medicine. How you doin'?
Betsy - You could probably sharpen tiddlywinks to a razor edge. Voilá, death match!
Steph - Note to self: never play board games of any kind with Betsy...
