All Together Now... Awwwwwwww

I am a dyed-in-the-wool (brown) Firefly/Serenity fan, also known as a "Browncoat". I've written a scenario for the Serenity RPG to run at the club (which I had to postpone because I was too sick to run, and had no voice). I'm also planning to run it at Origins this summer, and possibly at Gencon as well.

The scenario is inspired by a throw-away line from one of the Firefly episodes (Our Mrs. Reynolds), where Wash is trying to account for odd cultural preferences. He says: "Every planet's got its own weird customs. 'Bout a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled."

I just had to write a scenario where the crew has to deliver these precious objects, and of course I called it "Some People Juggle Geese". Well, then I got to thinking about how one might actually juggle geese... and so I Googled it. And I found Wash-o-saurus (go down to where it says "juggling geese" in the sidebar).

They are just incredibly cuuuute, and came, as described, in a Chinese takeout box with a bed of pretty shredded paper and a caligraphic scroll sealed with a Chinese coin that contains instructions on how to learn to juggle.

As soon as I can keep even one of these adorable little guys in the air with both hands, I'll call myself a gosling juggler. Then I need to learn to knit so I can make them little Jayne hats.

I have one sitting next to the computer as I type. They are so cuuuuuuute!
