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. ;)

Maybe they should start giving hurricanes scary-ass names so that people will take them seriously. Who's afraid of "Wilma", for god's sake? Now, they name the next bad-ass hurricane to pose a threat to the population "Hurricane Satan", people will get the fuck out of its way.

I read that "Hurricane Saddam" at first.
The alligator-eating python was quite bizzare. I'm having a hard time understanding which part is which animal.

gs, I thought of you the other day when a guy at work told the story of the time he was kicked out of B&N and asked to NEVER come back! Hee!
Did you ever find those photos of Atlantis? ;)

The spam comments are tres annoying. (Said with an outrrrageous French accent-a.) But they do bring us to a fun new part of leaving comments on the blog - trying to pronounce the word verification thingy.

I would've let him stay! I bet he's got even wackier cousins - "if you pick the Cat in the Hat you're going to Hell" "if you get the second edition of A Brief History of Time you're going to Hell. But the first edition will get you into both Heaven and the Elysian fields." "The Merriam-Webster dictionary is good, but the Webster dictionary is the work of Satan. Or Saddam."

Mmmm....High-fiber crumpets. Get yours on eBay! Along with low-fat road construction and a double dose of Vioxx with a side of personal stories of erectile cronyism!
