I just got this message from rory (known on boards as syth) He was at the advance preview screening of Serenity last night, and some of the actors turned up to it...
For those who havent a clue (most people) yacc is a utility for making compilers for computer languages....

Message from rory on ttyp7 at 17:08 ...

| Kaylee from Firefly signed my yacc book! |

Edit: thought I might remove his email address form the post... or he'd kick me in the balls.

Thanks for clearing that up for us.

[Jackass] · 25-08-2005 05:25PM

OMG!! ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!?? :eek:

:rolleyes:

larryone · 25-08-2005 05:27PM

He seemed excited about it. I thought it was kinda sad. (but amusing...)

Kinetic^ · 25-08-2005 05:27PM

What in the name of Jeebus are you talking about???

larryone · 25-08-2005 05:32PM

bleh.

Firefly was a hugely successful but very short sci-fi series. They've made a move of it called Serenity. My friend went to a preview screening, and met one of the actresses from it, who plays the character of Kaylee http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0821612/
And he got her to sign his computer book, the sad ba5tard.

larryone · 25-08-2005 05:45PM

gave it to his dad as a birthday present. I'd have kept it myself...

I'm sorry. I'm as nerdy as the next guy, but how bad do you have to be;
a) To bring a computing book to the *cinema*
b) To own a book about yacc in the first place

Esel · 26-08-2005 02:03AM

Offer €1.50 for yacc book so.

You'd be surprised. I think Syth deserves a special award for how nerdy he is.

*says she with the Nintendo-related sig...*

Ditto. Its just not natural!

larryone · 26-08-2005 10:35AM

He also took a day off yesterday because his new laptop arrived...
I'm just after seeing the yacc book.
Lord what a geek!

"Firefly was a hugely successful but very short sci-fi series. "

That's a bit of a contradiction surely.

You'd think so, but what about the Original Star Trek?

super_furry · 26-08-2005 11:37AM

It's more like Family Guy - a flop on television but a huge hit on DVD.

Santa Claus · 26-08-2005 11:54AM

larryone,
I demand you bring the nerd gos syth to this thread so we can all stand in awe of his signed yacc book ! (or photos of the book would be even better)

Sold more DVD's in its first three weeks then one of the Star Wars which went to DVD around the same time.

I was there too. She was signing everything.

Movie is fanstastic btw.

larryone · 26-08-2005 12:09PM

He's getting out his digital camera, and his yacc book...
*cringe*

Kevok · 26-08-2005 12:19PM

It's not like he had a lack of things to sign either. They even gave out an A4 piece of card that could be signed.

Fair play to Jewel and Sean for signing it though.

Syth · 26-08-2005 12:35PM

Ask and you shall recieve.

The reason I had the book with me was because someone in the computer science department in UCD was throwing out a whole load of computer books. That yacc book was one of the ones I yoinked.

And the film was great.

larryone · 26-08-2005 12:41PM

she put a heart next to her name, that means she loves you and wants you

pickarooney · 26-08-2005 04:36PM

Hmm, am I intrigued enough to want to watch Firefly now?

Uh, that's a joke from the Simpsons.

:rolleyes:

larryone · 26-08-2005 05:54PM

Yes, that's where he got the idea. He went to a talk Roger Moore was giving, and decided he'd try and get this for his dad's birthday, which was that week...
When he was asking Roger to sign it, he first mentioned the simpsons reference, and then asked Roger if he'd do it... Roger thought it was hillarius, was delighted to do it =0)

Syth · 26-08-2005 06:15PM

He has a photo of it here:
