Sorry I wasn’t around for the discussion in the comments section last week (stuff came up, you know how it is), but hey! Sunday! It’s Firefly time again! This week the episode is “Bushwacked,” which I had to rewatch with one hand ready to cover my eyes. This one has always freaked me out, even after a jilliondy viewings. Anyway, for those whose memories might [...]

It’s Sunday – time to chat about another episode of Firefly! This week, we were watching “The Train Job,” the first episode that was actually aired.

Welcome to Midweek Media! New name, same column. Except on Wednesdays instead of Mondays. See what we did there? This week’s media is a lengthy commercial that Nike is promoting on YouTube.

Media Monday this week focuses on a commercial for Fruit of the Loom products. View it embedded below, or click this link to see it on YouTube. And now, transcript time! Fruit of the Loom made my life a little easier this week by posting the lyrics to the song in this commercial, “Date Night,” on the website that highlights their current ad series, http://www.fruitguyfans.com/.
