We’re everywhere.

December 22nd, 2005 Leave a comment Go to comments

So I’m on line at Borders at 10:30 at night BECAUSE AMAZON SCREWED UP MY ORDER and the checkout guy looks at my chest and goes, “No way.”

Now, I’ve had a lot of reactions from men toward my chest, but “no way” is probably the most deflating, no pun intended.

Then I realize I’m wearing my Blue Sun shirt. Aha! So I was able to say, “Yes, and not only that, but I’m knitting a Jayne hat!” So I had to pull it out and show it to him, and we gushed over Firefly for a few minutes, and tried to get nearby people to watch the show – you know, all the stuff that Browncoats do when we meet. Converting someone is our version of a secret handshake.

He seemed totally psyched about the hat, so I gave him my card. He was even more psyched about the shirt. I couldn’t remember at the time where I got it, but now I recall it was http://www.bluesunshirts.com/

It was a nice little interaction that made the evening better.

Browncoats is the nicest peoples.

    Did your pimping work? And out of curiosity what is the reaction to your chest ordinarily?

    The pimping may have worked. It did seem to provoke more than just ordinary “I’ll say what I have to in order to get this freak to stop badgering me” interest.

    When I was younger, my ample bosom provoked much interest and approval from those fond of such things. Now that I’m older and other parts of me have become more ample, it’s just part and parcel of the nondescript middle-aged-mom.

    The girls are always still up for happy fun playtime, though.

    And now I’m just going to pretend that my mother doesn’t read my journal, thank you.

    I wish it wasn’t illegal to hijack televion towers so you can broadcast a cancelled show.

    And that’s as they should be. Hi tvini’s mother!

    That’s awesome. I have a couple Blue Sun Tshirts, and a Blue Sun messenger bag (well, also a mug, ornament, and magnet. Morgan found a Cafepress shop last Christmas). I carry the messenger bag a lot and sometimes get comments when I’m out with it. It’s like a password or secret handshake, you’re right. Kind of a nice club to be in. 🙂

    Some day, I need to get or make a Firefly shirt. Our coolest Browncoat moment was last winter, when DH wore his Jayne hat to work. I don’t think we knew anyone locally who watched the show. One of his co-workers took one look and deadpanned: “What’d ya’ll order a dead body for?”

    I really need to make one of the mini ones so I can pin it on my lapel.
