FWIW MetalDog, I won't crucify you for not having sat down and watched Firefly -- heck, I still haven't seen all the episodes myself (although I've enjoyed the ones I have).  I honestly do feel you may be doing yourself a disservice in not having done so, however. 

As for Saving Private Ryan...well, just let us know when you've watched it so you can reclaim your manhood.  :P

I consider myself a minor league grog.
I'd say the same for myself as well. 

I'm pretty good when it comes to general knowledge of the better-known wars/conflicts/battles (and a fair number of lesser-known ones as well).  However, I'm admittedly somewhat apathetic when it comes to minutiae; I've never felt a pressing need to know the difference between the uniforms worn by the French army in 1754 versus 1770, for example. 


(I'm a major-league geek, however... :D )
