Overheard

Just found a great website called Overheard in New York. Reminds me of my experience shortly after coming back to the US of overhearing ridiculous conversations. Some of my favorites:

  • Man: I just don't get it! Just last night you were complaining about how you never try anything new, but you feel like you should.
  • Woman: Ok, well ordering the roast duck is a little different than a threesome, Tim.
  • Kid #1: Paper beats rock. BAM! Your rock is blowed up!
  • Kid #2: "Bam" doesn't blow up, "bam" makes it spicy. Now I got a SPICY ROCK! You can't defeat that!
  • Young woman #1: Guys never want to eat me out.
  • Middle-aged dad with kids: Hey, we're trying to eat over here.
  • Young woman #1: See, even hearing about it freaks them out.
  • Young man at next table: Maybe I can take a look for you and give you my assessment.
  • Middle-aged dad with kids: For God's sake, this is a family restaurant!
  • Young woman #2: You have a very controversial vagina.
  • Older woman: Excuse me, miss?
  • Younger woman: Yeah?
  • Older woman: Your veil, your burqa is very beautiful. I didn't know your people were allowed to wear it in bright colors.
  • Younger woman: It's not a burqa, it's a poncho. I'm Jewish. It's for the rain. I got it at TJ Maxx.
  • Guy #1: I'd totally hit that.
  • Guy #2: Dude, I'd hit that so hard whoever could pull me out would become the King of England.

Playin' Around

Goofing around with new templates, layouts, and integration with new widgets. Forgive the mess...

I don't think these folks get it

I get one of these every week in my inbox at work. It's a notification for me to fill out my online timecard.

"This is an automated reminder, no replies necessary.

REMINDER: It is Friday and you have not created a timesheet for this week or previous week(s) listed below.

In order to avoid the Monday rush, please create a timesheet and release today.

Thank you."

WTF is "the Monday rush"? Is this like a run on the virtual bank?
