This is some shifting dimensions shit. You usually have to pay extra for that.
This whole bit just made me *grin*, because that is exactly the way the Boosh would address such a circumstance, and I could genuinely hear them saying it. It's a perfect bit of meta humor to acknowledge the similarities--and differences--of the two setups, and it was very much in the Booshy spirit of the thing.
But beyond that, I love that this chapter introduces a more defined objective or at least a place to start looking for one (Naboo is good at sorting that stuff out; that's why he gets those calls!), and also that Naboo and Bollo are in the mix, as well as all that excellent backstory we get about Howard's upbringing, especially the bit about the time-traveling slippers, which is simultaneously very Booshy and very funny. Poor Howard! He's been following the advice--and then going against it, hoping to find the loose women and drugged-up lifestyle he was warned against, and he hasn't had any luck!

I am loving this! You always write Naboo and Bollo's MASSIVE EXASPERATION with Vince and Howard's shenanigans so well, and this is no exception. All they want to do is hang out and get stoned in peace! (I... am also pretty sure I have heard people opine things like, 'Man, man, it's like smoking a freshly mown lawn', so points for realism!)

Whenever I read your Boosh fic, I have a huge grin on my face the whole time, because you slip in so many funny, bizarre, and just so Boosh-like details. My favorite here was the idea that Howard learned dating tips while time-traveling in the fifties. It explains so much! And the way he got sad when he realized the gift was "just" a magic ritual was heartbreaking, especially how you showed the scene though Vince's eyes. Vince was hoping to avoid a fight, and here he's getting just what he wanted, but in the worst way possible.
I loved how Vince was comfortable with Howard's hysteria, and calmed him down while noting how strange it felt to have the larger hand.
Your Bollo and Naboo are the best. <3
Just so you know, I spent about a minute trying to visualize what "choco-spaghetti tacos" would look like. That's a minute I'll never get back.
