hanging around playing art critic 'til I get pinched by the man

[extemporanea]

I went in to the framing place in Claremont this morning, to drop off a complicated framing job. They're lovely people, and have done good work for me in the past, but they always look at me a bit funny owing to the fact that it's a slightly classic, pedestrian sort of shop, filled with fine art reproductions and local paintings, and I usually want

I prefer Colonel Hotpants...which is what we called Colonel Fitzwilliam in P&P fandom.

It is entirely possible I didn't need to know that :>. I like Fitzwilliam, but must confess a sublime lack of interest in his pants.

You do know that Whedon based Firefly on The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. for the western part, right? And you've located these adventures and watched them? because if you haven't, you might enjoy them a great deal.

That gun the captain has was Brisco's. Just sayin.

[extemporanea]

Aargh. Thank you for that. You do realise I have now spent an hour and half researching Brisco County Jr, being intrigued, because hey, steampunk, snark and Bruce Campbell, digging through all the local online firms, discovering it's out of print, and ordering it expensively used off Amazon in Region 1 because they apparently never actually produced it in Region 2? I blame you entirely. I am also deeply grateful for the rec.

Irredeemable nitpickery also compels me, post all this research, to point out that it was Zoe's gun, not the Captain's, which was a Brisco prop, and that no amount of googling produces any evidence that Whedon explicitly based Firefly on the show, although it apparently used a lot of the Brisco County sets and props. You are also free to shoot me in the knee with a Mare's Leg for any of the above inexcusable pedantry.

[dancing_crow]

You are, of course, completely correct on all the above points. Pedantry in the pursuit of correctness is no vice.

You are generous :>.
