read a review of the dvd set on another website that gave high marks to firefly. however, it also mentioned us browncoats as fanatical fans and as having established a cult following of the show. is this accurate?

I laughed so hard when I saw this...
Doesn't everybody know that "fan" is a shortened form of the word "fanatic?"
That's like saying we are loving lovers, or hateful haters.... it really just means we are extremely passionate about our fandom.

Long answer:
they'll say that about anybody who's willing to show their support by not just writing one postcard to a network to petition an SOS for a show that's already cancelled, but also 20 more more using the names and addresses of their friends and relatives.

Short answer:
You better believe it, browncoat

(These are the highlights, there's just too much to list.)

To show I'm a cult member:
Bought two DVD sets so I have one to loan out to convert others into Browncoats, just like I was doing with the videotapes I made of the downloaded episodes.

To show I'm a fanatic:
Planned my DVD viewing shindig months in advance and served Firefly food and drink all day and night - little box of strawberries, bowl of hodgeberries, hot cider, bao, fried tomatoes with rosemary, "fresh" wine in a glass jug, "protien" cake with chocolatey frosting, strips of "good dogs," and mudder's milk (it was horrific).

Well a couple of people pulled a Wash and spit it out instead of swallowing it, and NOBODY asked for seconds. I think most people would only drink it if there was nothing else and they really needed to get drunk.

You're right they don't exist (yet), but I freeze-framed in "Safe" and they looked like blueberries to me, so I put blueberries in a brown bowl and called them hodgeberries.

I used a "milk & egg" protien powder, (the only one I could find that wasn't flavored, most of them were either vanilla or chocolate) mixed with lime Gatorade, and then added rum for the alcohol content. The cool part was that it came out looking very milky!

I gotta say that mixing the citrus with milk might have been an unfortunate idea.
Ever drink milk then have a slice of grapefruit? Eeeeesshh!

I don't know that there's any actual lime in lime Gatorade, but in any case it certainly didn't have the curdling effect of putting real milk with real citrus. The only problem was that it had a tendency to seperate if you let it sit too long, so it had to be stirred to stay milky.

That is about as accurate as you can get, humble. Assuming Firefly is a cult show, which is, then yes we are "fantical fans". I prefer "browncoat", though.

Also- Maniac, fan is short for fanatic. And we do need a coookbook. Some compiled one for MST3k. Very odd. Also, on this site, if you go to the database serch, type in "Browncoat Ball", you will get a long list of stuff. Click one that says something along the lines of food. Ex: Badger's Corned Beef. You will see a recipe, and under will be links to more recipes. Not from the show, but for.

Very creative ideas, though. Enter it as a recipe, someone.

Keep flyin'! Happy Holidays!

Hey I did that too! Just talked someone into borrowing my "proselytizing" DVD set today, and gave my old VCD set away to a potential convert.

Should this be scary?
