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:

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.
