Tanky wakes from a dream to a hangover at which point she fights with Booga over who has to make the morning tea. Next they play baseball with a grenade. Fortunately, Booga hits it out of the park... to Camp Koala. They go to the toys store to buy a new one after burying the stuffed, sexually confused toy. Tanky being the one millionth customer at the toy store is given a free shopping spree. That night Tanky cuddles with her new koala.

Tanky heads out to Dirty Fred's Old Curiosity Shop to get Booga a birthday present. At the shop she overhears a conversation about a meteor hitting Earth and killing everyone. Booga's b-day takes a backseat. Stevie is told to dig a bunker (actually a bar-b-q pit), while Booga makes phone calls for Tank Girl. Tanky conveniently does nothing except disappear to work on her tan. Booga and Stevie catch on to Tanky and hatch a plan of revenge. They build a large slingshot and lob a boulder at Tanky who mistakes it for the meteor. Booga and Stevie commence the birthday celebration without her.

 
  • At the toy store, Tanky announces, "First one to find a new cuddly koala gets to see my most private part".
  • Teasing Booga Tanky tells him, "Me and Stevie are gonna go round the back of the tank and shag each others tits off".

  • Camp Koala eats it during a game of grenade-baseball. Poor lil' stuffed guy...

  • Stunning! A clean issue.

  • Not much here outside Booga's Birthday celebration.
