Yes, I said it. I stand by it.

One of my co-workers today asked me what cancelled TV show I most wish was still on the air. And BEFORE I could answer, another co-worker said “Firefly, of course.” And THEN I had to tell him that he was wrong, and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth…

JSR: “Fuck!” Annette: “Mmmm?” JSR: “Eh, I was fighting that guy, and then I got this other roaming guy as an add, and then while I was running from them I ran around a tree and there was THIS guy, and now I’m stunned and they’re all killin’…
