Bluenutria is the b*stard child of Gargamel and Smurfette. When he hatched, he was abandoned and left for blue.Years later, in his blue period, he auditioned for a walk on part in The Blue Man Group, but was rejected due to his act not having enough local color. This left him feeling...blue.He then tried to audition for a role in Red Dwarf. Again met with failure, he now hangs out in the back of theaters that show blue movies.[Thank's Moe!] http://www.plime.com/f/1715/ Why don't you chat with me sometime?
