Distraction Du Jour: Overheard in New YorkI don't hide it. I miss the attitude of the East Coast. I wish people here in Los Angeles would just drop the f-bomb more often. So, when I need a dose of attitude, I head over to
Overheard in New York.
The site is exactly what it claims to be - a listing of snippets overheard in the Big Apple. Some of their gems include the following:
Chunky Chips Ahoy!Teen boy #1: Fuck, these fucking Fig Newtons taste like shit. And what the fuck is a fig, anyway?
Teen boy #2: I don't know, but whatever the fuck it is, it looks like you're eating a shit cookie.Tell That to Oklahoma CityGhetto guy #1: Yo, you think that bitch is gonna blow up the train?
Ghetto guy #2: Nah, negro, she's white.
So Very Many Roommates...Hobo: Got a cigarette you can spare?...Give me a cigarette!
Girl #1: Hey, fuck you.
Hobo: Yeah, fuck you too!
Girl #2: At least we have a home!
Hobo: Yeah, I got a home too. In your mother's cunt, bitch!I got to tell you - even our crazy LA homeless folks are too civil.
