You can thank California’s aggressive conservations efforts which have led to the preservation of boobie habitits. ---

On a tangent, i.e., not another booby joke, I’m very excited that blue-footed boobies have been spotted around Southern California. Hopefully, they’ll make it to San Diego, but I’ll definitely make an effort to see them where ever they may be exposed. Well, I tried. ---

What does it say, that whenever I see a thread like this, my first assumption is that it’s about the birds? And that I’m almost always right? There needs to be a lot more discussion of human female mammaries for this joke to work. ---

That’s how boobies hang when they’re kickin’ it in the hoodie. ---

If they’re in the hoodie you’re doing it wrong.
