"This fish might taste a little like mint, since it was in the drawer with this gum"
-coworker who insists on eating fish jerky, which is stinky, whether it cohabitates with gum or not!

Aaand.... we will now do word verification to comment on the blog, because stupid spammer assholes are leaving "comments". Well, I am sure the stupid spammer assholes are not personally involved, they probably wrote a nice little script to do it. But if I wanted to sell something on eBay, I would've done it like five years ago. I PREFER TO THROW SHIT AWAY! Ahem. Seems I'm a little riled up this evening!

On the whiteboard at the community center where I take yoga, written in a 7-year-old's handwriting:

"Idiom: Cat got your thong?"

My cats do actually get a kick out of carrying my underwear around the house, so it is possible that the cats do have a thong of mine hidden somewhere. But that is more of a literal interpretation, not an idiomatic one.


Overheard at work, by the future Mr. 102:

"Don't get between a fat woman and her food!"
-a fat woman


There was also a rather extended conversation on the merits of including more fiber in ones' diet in my part of the workplace... both today and yesterday! It wasn't even being held by a bunch of old fogies! At one point, a co-worker pulled out a list of high-fiber foods. A list!! Wow.


And finally, Kris of Woof-board fame brings us the political Overheard of the day:
" The Republican Party - Cronyism at Work!"
Because cronyism at play is a VERY frightening thing! Speaking of, did you know that one of the top Halloween costumes this year is "FEMA worker"? How do you dress like that? Is it just an excuse to come late and not bring anything? (I didn't make that up but I wish I did.)


I want to go as this thing for Halloween. It scares me.

A python ate an alligator... and then it EXPLODED! Nature is WEIRD!


Oh, I forgot another one. (Pardon the steam-of-consciousness method of this post... all two of you.)

"We had no idea."
-someone stranded by Hurricane Wilma

Now, that's Wilma. Not Katrina. Not Rita, not Viggo or Sandford or whoeverthehellelse storms came before Wilma. You had no idea?? No idea that a hurricane could leave you without power and food, and that the government wouldn't be there with a cup of hot chocolate and some crumpets the very next day?! NO idea????

And that is your pseudo-regular dose of Overheard! Perhaps with additional fiber we will post more regularly. ;)
