Having finished “The 25 most popular icebreaker questions based on four years of data” and enjoyed the results, I’m moving on to a new list:

Your mission: answer the question in the comments with a good story.

If you don’t have a good story, you are encouraged to make one up.

What was your favorite birthday or Christmas present?

The “Firefly” prequel/reboot “Miranda”, which finally gives me the satisfaction of watching characters play in the Firefly universe, under the direction of Joss Whedon.

I haven’t gotten it yet.

While we’re doing prequel/reboots, tell Iger I need a director’s cut without Midichlorians or Jar-Jar.
