I actively avoided watching Firefly until late 2007.  Does that count?

I avoided it until 2013, or was that Serenity?  Anyhow I watched the movie last year and haven't seen the series yet.  Because no time when I'm at home.

Yes. Aim to misbehave.

Would you rather get in a fight with a horse-sized-duck, or 100 duck-sized-horses?
Explain your answer.

One horse-sized duck.
For starters, it's easier to manage a 1-on-1 fight than a 100-on-1 zerg rush.
Next, ducks only have 2 legs rather than 4, and their feet aren't designed to trample the crap out of people.
Finally, ducks have lighter, thinner bones.  This means that a horse-sized duck won't weigh as much as a horse, and that its bones will break far more easily.

reimero has valid points, but it's not as easy to drop-kick a horse-sized duck.

No weapons.

Remember, a duck's bill is a formidable weapon and the wing span would be like 30 feet.

I'd do the 100 duck sized horses.  I'd pretend that I was Neo taking on the infinite agent Smiths.  Plus the drop kick thing that Catwritr brought up sounds like more fun than a barrel of duck sized horses.

Today, on NPR's The Splendid Table, someone called in asking for advice for decorating the man-gravy milking table. The host was oblivious. I was rolling my eyes and laughing.

That number seemed so plausible I had to check the date I started it. I've known you people way too long.
