Where Left Is Right / The Old Site

Courtesy of Norb, I have just discovered Overheard in New York. And like him, I have a feeling I'll be stopping by often, perhaps for days at a time. Kind of a pied à terre in Blogistan.

Also like him, I can't resist sharing:

Guy: Here you go man. Here's some fries.
Hobo: Fries? Fries with what?

Guy #1: Keep your wallet in your front pocket, dude.
Guy #2: This city would be so much safer if there really were Ninja Turtles.

+++++

There is a Buddha statue on the counter.

Teen girl #1: Wow, she has weird nipples.
Teen girl #2: I think it's a guy.
Teen boy: That's Gandhi. Duh.

+++++

Girl: The polar ice caps are melting...
Guy #1: Yeah, 'cause of global warming!
Guy #2: Um...it's summertime.

+++++

Guy: What book is that?
Girl: The new Harry Potter; it's the 6th of his 7 years at school.
Guy: 7? Shit. If that author was smart, she would have made high school 10 years.
Girl: Huh?
Guy: Yeah. And that bitch was homeless when she wrote those books.

Suit #1: Sounds like Bugsy Siegel.
Suit #2: Yeah.
Suit #1: You know who Bugsy Siegel is, right?
Suit #2: Sure, yeah.
Suit #1: You know who he is?
Suit #2: Yeah. Look--
Suit #1: You know who he is?
Suit #2: Yeah, yeah--
Suit #1: Who is he, then?
Suit #1: Who gives a shit?

This really needs to be turned into a nationwide mania. Not the site, the eavesdropping.
