Ha, this is kind of neat. Nathan Filion is a huge Star Wars fan, and he had a model of Han frozen in carbonite that he brought to the Firefly set. It ended up apparently making an appearance in the background of every single episode. A few of them are shown here.

Sweet!  I never knew that.  :)
Any time is a good time for pie.

Very cool!  I didn't know that either, but it's not surprising in hindsight.  The man is well-known for being a fellow geek.

I was just reading Nathan Fillion's wiki. He's exactly one week younger than me.

I've actually met Nathan Filion a few times. He's from Edmonton, and he still regularly comes up here for a big improv theater event they do here every year...it's kind of where he got his start. Very, very nice guy. Funny, too.

Actually, a few years back he got in to it with the owner of a local comic store. This particular store kind of has a reputation, and the owner DEFINITELY does, and this certainly didn't help. Did wonders for the guy's competition, though.  ;D

Very cool that you've met him. He comes across as likeable in interviews and such.

AFAIK Filion also may have the unique honor of playing the only main character on a Big-3 prime-time network TV show who gets to call someone else a "Douche". It was an episode of Castle. Now that I think about it, he may have said it more than once.  :D

Nah, they call people "Douche" on The Big Bang THeory all the time.

Hah! shows what I know. I've never seen Big Bang Theory though I've been tempted. I have so little TV watching time and with Roku/Netflix/Hulu/AmazonPrime I have waaaayy too much to choose from. Never mind actually getting any wargaming in...

I've never watched Big Bang Theory either.  Although, my son says it would be exactly my kind of show.

no... we werent those kind of geeks.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

My wife thinks I'm that kind of geek now. You see, I'm an engineer who works in the physics department of a local Unversity....   ???
