Why can’t I say “nubba-nubba-nubba-nubba” fast, but I can say “bunna-bunna-bunna-bunna” fast? All the same elements are there, and the order of the consonants is simply a matter of how you think about it. I don’t get it.
My cat is looking at me funny.
I can’t say either one fast. But if it continues to be a problem for you (or your cat,) just use the “ba” as a lead in and continue saying “nubba.” Same thing.
Thanks. It doesn’t work for me, though.
We need an expert.
Ha! I say, HA! You call that bored? I’ll tell you what bored is: bored is playing an opera video on YouTube over and over again trying to transcribe a (by this time) incredibly stupid tune for flute and UPs. Looks like there’s just no damned way to fit the drones into this, which should have been clear to me from the beginning, but my imagination is easily overwhelmed. Perhaps I could turn them on and off during different sections … hmmm … and … yep … and … mmmmmmm …

At least you can be accused of being productive.
What!!! What a vile accusation. You take that back or … or … or else! That’s for sure!

Or else what? You’ll say “nubba-nubba” fast at me until I regret it?
So switch to something else, like “banana cabana banana cabana”.
And I’d be more worried if the cat wasn’t looking at you funny. It’s what cats do.
An expert and a poll might be necessary too. Hmmm. I think talasiga might fit the bill 
. Perhaps you could entertain yourself by sending him a PM!
Just make sure it’s “friendly.”
You could be writing an installment in the serial novel. 
Yes, but I’m trying to keep my post count down.
Oops.
Then, writing an installment in the novel will help you. Instead of posting myriad bits of drivel, you can roll it all up into one larger and more comprehensive opus.
Fine advice indeed. But I’m a creature of the quip, not the epic.
I have a tendency to stammer when I’m drunk,
it p p p p passes when I get sober.
Age is a cruel mistress.

Well, most definitely! Friendly is certainly what I had in mind.
The key is practicing slowly and then speeding up. Soon you will be able to say things like Banana banana banana terracotta banana terracotta terracotta pie, with no problems.
Yes, start slowly. You might try warming up with an easy one –
The Leith police dismisseth us,
I’m thankful, sir, to say;
The Leith police dismisseth us,
They thought we sought to stay.
The Leith police dismisseth us,
We both sighed sighs apiece,
And the sigh that we sighed as they led us outside
Was the size of the Leith police.
Ha! Nothing so pedestrian, you egg. I shall, instead, say, “Ni”, until you succumb and surrender all your shrubberies to me forthwith. Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha! 
NI
Ekke, Ekke, Ekke, Ekke, Ptang, Zoo boing!
(oh yes, your shrubberies shall be mine)
