One of my favorite billytea memories was paddling around Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park with him, while Emmett asked him about the most poisonous creature in every phylum.
I'm not sure who is more awesome in this scene - Emmett or billytea.
Wesley: Hey. Hey, Gunn. Is something weird going on? … Charles, you just peed on my shoes. Gunn: I'll be damned. That's weird.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Heh. Well, Emmett wasn't that precise. He'd just ask, "So what's the most poisonous snake," and billytea would go through all the options and expand out to reptiles and beyond.
Also, included in that conversation: all the many senses that animals have beyond our five.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That was a good day. I'm looking forward to having such conversations with Ryan.

I'm looking forward to having such conversations with Ryan.
"Daddy? What can kill me right where we're standing?"
"Well, Ryan, that lizard over there is poisonous, that plant over there will kill you if you eat it, and that snake by your foot would have you dead as a doornail before you hit the ground. Isn't it gorgeous?"
"Cool!"
He is billytea's son after all.

Survival not being one of them, if my house is any indication.

They were mesmerized by your magnetic polarity.

That's about as good as anything I've come up with.
(For those not in Natter - I have a very rules-oriented dog who appears to have decided that the new rule is "I [dog] am not allowed to eat out of my food bowl" and therefore is cobbling together a near-starvation diet from post-walk treats and certain things that happen to fall on the floor..)

Is she, perhaps, waiting for you to break out the six-piece Limoges place setting? or maybe she'd be happier eating off the floor?
And I think that if you want to know about the most poisonous anything, it's probably in Australia.
