Jameson Observations 1 (cranky-d)

First of all, on the rocks.  You might take a first sip, but generally you want to give the ice some time to melt a bit.  To me, Jameson tastes better when it’s a little diluted.

Second, probably the best of the inexpensive yet very good boozes.  I like single-malts as well, but Jameson is still very good, and in my case, very easy on the body even when severely over-indulging, as I am wont to do on accasion.  Like tonight.  And it costs so much less.

Third, “Jaynestown” is one of the few Firefly episodes (if there are more I cannot think of them right now) in which Jayne ever appears to have the ability to be introspective.  I just finished watching it.  Hilarious and poignant(sp).

Still, “I’ll be in my bunk,” is probably the most well-known amongst the quotes attributed to Jayne.

I think I’ll watch one more.  For the umpteenth time.

Take it for what it is.

    By the way, the next episode of Firefly, in order, is “Out of Gas.” One of the best ones, IMO.

    I’m jazzed.

  2. Dan Collins says:

    I like that episode, too.

  3. cranky-d says:

    Dan, you’re up too late and too early.

    Me, I’m a contractor flipping bit for the man.

    I think I’ll roll one more out and bring it until 6 am.

  4. Dan Collins says:

    I’ll tell you what . . . I froze my ass off getting to work this morning.  Minus 10 when I headed out the door, and windy.

    Bushmills is Better.

    After we finish buying Jeff his new laptop and a case of Bowmore, I’m going to organise a whip-round to get Dan a pair of toe-length silk nethergarments. No man should have to expose his loins to that kind of a temperature.

  6. BJTexs says:

    I just finished watching the entire set of episodes for Firefly. Man, did Fox screw that show up!

    Jaynestown is hilarious. Out of Gas may be the best of the lot (although I have a special feeling for the one with the crazy bounty hunter.)

    My favorite line? When Simon confronts Jayne about trying to sell him and Summer to the “2 guys with blue hands” Alliance representatives. As they leave, Summer sticks her head back in the room and says quietly, “and …I can kill you with my brain!”

    This must be what it feels like to go insane…

    I was well into the second paragraph before it occurred to me that this post didn’t concern Jenna Jameson. I didn’t finish.

  10. McGehee says:

    Jayne: “Captain wants me to find out how much the Alliance knows about us. He was kind of vague as to how.”

    Mal: “I said just scare him.”

    Jayne: “Pain is scary.”

  11. McGehee says:

    Dobson: “Okay, I can see you’re not an idiot.”

    Jayne: “I wish I could say the same about you.”

  12. BJTexs says:

    McGehee:

    2 from the movie:

    Kaylee: “I ain’t had nothin’ twixt my nethers that ain’t run on batteries in nie onto a year!”

    And the great, manly line for us all.

    Mal: “I aim to misbehave.”

    The outtakes on the DVD are some of the funniest I’ve ever seen.

    Makes you want to beat with a hammer those noodles at Fox.

  13. McGehee says:

    Oh, the movie’s in a class by itself. But the one line I think I like best of the whole franchise is,

    Mal: “Well, my days of not taking you seriously have sure reached a middle.”

    There’s a few here—alpoid, heet, et al—who remind me of that line every time they touch fingertip to keyboard.

  14. BJTexs says:

    All of this while cranky-d pours another 3 fingers and contemplates this:

    What the flaming hell happened to my thread?

    It’s been Fireflyed! BWAAAA HAHAHAHA

  15. MMShillelagh says:

    Bushmills beats Jameson like a trailer-park wife. 

    Jayne: “Dear diary: Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy. … Today we were kidnapped by hill folk, never to be seen again. It was the best day ever.”

  16. BJTexs says:

    Oh, that’s a great one, MMS!

    Wash: “Before we talk about that could we hear more on how Jayne got beat up by a 90 pound girl? Because that’s never going to get old.”

    BTW: That bar fight scene with River was one of the best choreographed tussles ever. The actress is a trained dancer and learned all of the martial arts just for the film.

    Mal: (on the intercom) “This is your Captain, Settle down somewhere as we may experience some turbulence followed by extensive burning up.”

    Jayne: “But I don’t wanna burn up!”

  17. Bugz says:

    Get the dialog right…

    Mal: “This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then… explode. “

    Jayne: “We’re gonna explode? I dont want to explode!”

    Sheesh! Is Google that tough to use?

  18. BJTexs says:

    Hey bugz;

    Here’s a shiny gold star for your heroic Googling of Science Fiction dialog along with a certficate suitable for framing and a genuine Simon Tam Medical Bag©, complete with toy psychotropic drugs and a River Tam Battle Axeâ„¢.

    We’re sorry to report that Jayne’s gift hat from his mom is sold out.

    Now run along and practice your Chinese phrases…

    Paraphrasing; the other white meat!

  19. Bugz says:

    Hey, I’d love to have all that stuff, but I’ll settle for being competent…

  20. BJTexs says:

    Well, bugz, I’m sure your Mom is really, really proud of your extraordinary ability to perfectly render single season science fiction series dialog. That there is something to worth pumping out your chest over.

    The level of my shame is just subterranean. I am blinded, BLINDED, by your Google competance. I simply don’t know if I’ll be able to go on…

    Oh, wait a minute, yes I will. Apparantly there’s more to life then word for word dialogue copying.

    Lucky me!

  21. Bugz says:

    Damn, I’m so relieved that you are good for something…

  22. McGehee says:

    <pointing at BJT>

    Ha ha! </Nelson Muntz>

    (I’m just glad Bogz didn’t decide to check the quotes I posted.)

  23. McGehee says:

    Besides, that wasn’t “single season science fiction series dialog,” that was “movie based on single season science fiction series dialog.”
