Nice try dude. Don’t believe she’ll go for it.

You may be about to have that drink in your controller.

Nope, that is holly, it means I get to dump my drink on your drone.

Sheesh! Rookie! … there’s no camera!

But if he flies it over her head, everybody at the party might try to kiss her.

Gets .005 for effort.

He wasn’t any good at ventriloquism, either.

Now I know that Bleeb has lost his little alien mind. He is at a cocktail party with 2 excellent targets in plain sight, and he is just standing there, out of observational range, beside a dude’s slacks. Oh, the horror.

Spoken in true nerdy fashion

She might just have to “kiss” him by “spilling” her drink on his kisser.

He’s going to be walking funny when she stuffs that controller up his backside sideways for trying that…

I hope that poisonous plant doesn’t fall into her drink!

And she says…Make one move buddy, and I’ll make my toe a missle. Right where it hurts!

What’s wrong with her knees

Astornauts have missle toes.

Ha! Brilliant!

Maybe the Ukrainians should try that with the Russians. Then when they’re distracted and confused as they stare at each other, send in another drone with a Christmas surprise.

“Whoa, look at this! Restraining order!”

Ha! Well, he does drone on at parties.

She’s about to deploy her mistle toe.

If athlete’s foot becomes green, it has become mistletoe. You should know that.

There’s always one twit in the crowd….

Next comes the kiss of death.

‘Nerds…just gotta have fuun!’

Your party is sure to a success, even with a pervy geek wad, as long as Bleeb is in the house.

Love and War all-in-one panel! Excellent, John!

Smooth move but, she doesn’t look like a happy camper. Probably won’t work, especially if it messes up her hair……

Ah, romance in the 21st century.

You guys have no imagination. Spilling a drink: Bah! She gets to really hurt him. She’s going to laugh and humiliate him for not knowing what mistletoe is.
