The first line was Nutty's.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

If I only had a brain...
Nutty: Boobies are birds with blue feet.
Billytea: Only the blue-footed variety. Aside from common or garden variety feet, there are also red-footed boobies. Tragically, this can lead to confusion within the booby community. Come mating time, you don't want to find you've shacked up with some strange booby. Thus, the courtship dance of the blue-footed booby (and if ever you get a chance to watch this, do) involves the male waddling up the female, turning side on, and hoisting up his foot as far as he can to allow her a thorough inspection - generally flapping madly to maintain his balance in the process. Then he turns around to present the other side, just in case the first one was just a fluke (ba dum). If he does all this without tripping, then he just might get some action.
You have to wonder if there was some incident in their past that led to fears of the red-footed boobies stealing in and ravishing their women. I like to think so, anyway.
[And I have nooooooo idea whether he's pulling our (blue) legs, either.]

Also Nutty, continuing to set up billytea the way Stockton sets up Malone.
Sorry. It's a basketball reference.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You mean by being dirty?

I'd snicker, but that would be nattering.

Hey they're only dirty if you're playing against them.

Sue: I think y'all should take up Tim on his offer of having us all over to watch the unaired episode of Strange World.
DXMachina; Heh.
The scene: Outside of Tim Minear's palatial estate.
DOORBELL: "Bing bong!"
It's late, way past Tim Minear's bedtime. Who could be at the door?
CHORUS OF BUFFISTAS (bearing popcorn): "Hi, Tim!"

Forgive the natter, but -- other people appreciate the Utah Jazz??!! Other than folk who live here? And we're terribly sorry about how the season is going.
