Overheard on Galactica

[ninety6tears.livejournal.com]

If you have never heard of the humor blog Overheard In New York, you have probably been missing out on some hilarity. It's pretty much what it sounds like: People send in snippets of other people's exchanges they happen to hear in NYC, and the result is a hell of a lot of random, at times senseless out-of-context dialogue.

Now, everyone has moments where they realize, "That would have been really weird and made absolutely no sense if somebody overheard that." And what with the post-apocalyptic claustrophobia of the fleet, I'm sure that moments like these happen on Galactica all the time. So for today I want you to invent some. You may like to browse the NYC blog to get an idea of the format, but here are some I came up with to get us started:


Captain entering briefing room: How's the training going?
Pilot: I'm about to shove this new nugget up your-
Captain: You know, I think I'll just come back when you're in a better mood.
Pilot: Good plan.

Dismayed Raptor pilot: I mean, I always did think you had a secret little kink for...
Viper pilot: What? Mad scientists?
Raptor pilot: Politicians.
Viper pilot: He'd only been the vice president for like an hour, though.
Raptor pilot: ...Fast work.

Stall #2: Is it bigger than a stick of butter?
Stall #1: Why are you always trying to get me to play '20 questions' while we're in the shower?
Stall #4: Who's that on the end?
Stall #3: Starbuck's tryin' to ask if Apollo's tool is bigger than a stick of butter.
Stall #4: Oh.
Stall #1: I haven't even thought of what it is yet.
Stall #3: Your dick?
Stall #1: What?!
Stall #2: ...So how big is it?
Stall #1: I don't believe that's a yes-or-no question, Lieutenant.

(Overheard in the Chief's empty office during the episode Epiphanies):

Pilot: ...not talk about this?
Uberpilot: Racetrack said if it hadn't been for you the Raptor would've been toast. She said you pulled off before anyone else even figured out what was going on.
Pilot: So?
Uberpilot: So, does this mean we're officially over the death-wish phase? 'Cause that would be cool. I had another pep talk all prepared, but if you're over it I'm not gonna bother.
Pilot: I don't have a death wish. I just want to be left alone for a bit, okay?
Uberpilot: Sorry, I've decided to stick with you night and day, just to be safe. That was part of the pep talk. This little Raptor episode proves at least that you're not the kind of guy to drift into an explosion as long as there are other people in the ship with you. So I'm calling shotgun on the wild ride that is your life. Get used to it.
Pilot: On second thought, I think I do want to die.
