It was the cunning hats. The hats sent it over the top.; 2:20 PM, June 18, 2010

Are they attempting to avoid litigation?

Grayson said...: Whoa.
I think I'm falling in love.
Or something else equally strange.
Oh well.

Regrettably, I never was a Jane (Jayne?) Austen fan, really.
The cunning hats are a nice touch, though.; 5:49 PM, June 18, 2010

The woman they call Jayne..."

So what gun to bring to these meetings?; 5:58 PM, June 18, 2010

CAR said...: BobG, my wife has a subscription to "Garden and Gun".; 10:42 PM, June 18, 2010
Bubblehead Les. said...: So Jane Austen was for Open Carry? AND she was a BRIT? How do I get to that parallel universe?; 11:51 PM, June 18, 2010
Tam said...: Jayne Austen, Les. It's all in the hats.; 11:55 PM, June 18, 2010
James family outpost, Iowa. said...: Hee - hee, the wife is gonna love it! She is forever at the library book club meetings, moderate to liberal on social issues (she's in medicine & health care, let's say) but she also has her CCW and thinks the Brady Bunch need a firing squad in the name of Liberty!; 1:07 AM, June 19, 2010
Bubblehead Les. said...: So Jayne had a sex change? Why, that's as shocking as digging up our friend the Preacher and placing him on the nose in a place of honor! ( he said with an evil chuckle, gladly mixing metaphors and similes) ;); 3:16 PM, June 19, 2010

Would have been very funny otherwise.; 11:29 AM, June 20, 2010

"What if we run into reven...Reavers?"; 12:59 PM, June 20, 2010
Tam said...: "Sorry, the misspelling entirely ruins it. "Illiterate gun nuts," etc."

That thing that just went whooshing over your head? It was the punchline.; 1:14 PM, June 20, 2010
Tam said...: *le sigh* I damned well hate explaining a joke, but here we go...

For Anon 11:29 and others who feel confused:

Jane Austen is a famous English writer.

Jayne Cobb is a burly gun nut mercenary character on the SF series Firefly. He likes guns and sometimes wears an orange knit toque.

Go look at the picture again. Of course you will not find it amusing, having needed it explained to you, but you should at least now grasp the thing at which everyone else is chortling.; 1:22 PM, June 20, 2010
staghounds said...: Kate Beaton says "Now there is an Austen Culture".

She's almost a century late, if Kipling's "The Janeites" is any gauge.

And thank you for the explanation, I didn't know the Firefly connection. Just thought it was in some Gay Pride parade.; 7:08 PM, June 21, 2010

"Just thought it was in some Gay Pride parade."

Probably. I hope they won whatever the award was for Awesomest Group In The Parade. :); 6:59 PM, June 22, 2010
Erin Palette said...: On a related note, have you seen Jane Austen's Fight Club?; 8:39 PM, May 16, 2013
Gewehr98 said...: Vagitarians or not, that is just way too cool!; 10:28 PM, May 16, 2013
global village idiot said...: Staghounds,

Bless you for leading me to that Kipling story. I'm profoundly grateful.
