Overheard at Cal State Fullerton
While waiting for my history class this morning, two first-time freshmen were having a conversation. The below exchange occurred after one turned and bent over to take something out of her backpack, which was on the ground: Girl 1: "Oh my god, are you like on your period or something?" Girl 2: "Oh my god, yeah, why?" Girl 1: "There's all this blood on the back of your pants." Girl 2: * In a lower voice* "But I'm wearing black underwear, you're not supposed to be able to see it." Girl 1: "I think that only works if you wear black pants." | | Sunday, June 22nd, 2008 | 6:26 pm

Freeway Overpass: 1 -- Graffiti Artist: 0
Not exactly overheard in CA - more like "overhead" (momentarily, anyway!)Man, said to be tagging overpass, injured on 5 Freeway in East Los AngelesWitnesses say man who fell from an overpass near Main Street off-ramp had a can of spray paint in his hands.I wonder if he stepped back to admire his work?!?A man was apparently spray painting graffiti on an overpass when he fell Saturday night onto the 5 Freeway in East Los Angeles, authorities said. Several motorists told authorities that the man had possibly broken his back at about 9:45 p.m. and had a can of spray paint clutched in his hands as he lay on the freeway near the Main Street off-ramp, said California Highway Patrol spokesman David Porter. Porter said the man was taken to a nearby hospital where he is being treated. The accident comes about three weeks after prolific tagger Cyrus Yazdani -- who goes by the moniker "Buket" -- was arrested for causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage. Yazdani is perhaps most recognized for a YouTube video that shows him climbing and spray painting behind the Hollywood Freeway sign near Melrose Avenue as traffic speeds below. - link to story ... http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-tagger23-2008jun23,0,7487128.story- Buket video ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywOZPO5VJy8 | | Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008 | 10:33 am

Overheard on the bus
So in taking public transportation to class earlier this afternoon, I was joined by a few students from the local high/middle school, that just got out, on their way home. Two girls sat behind me, both black and appeared to be freshman age. They got to talking, rather loudly, about swear words as one of them had apparently gotten in trouble for cursing in class. Anyway, this part made me chuckle a little: Girl 1: "What's wrong with saying 'ass'?" Girl 2: "I know. Really!" Girl 1: "It's not like I meant it like a butt or something." Girl 2: "Didn't Jesus have an ass?" Girl 1: "Yeah, he did! He rode a donkey! If Jesus can say 'ass' I can too." | | Saturday, February 16th, 2008 | 6:48 pm

Here it came -- and there it went!
Make that "Overhead in Cali" ...I'm pretty sure I just saw that satellite that the U.S. is planning to shoot down next week, before it crashes! On the Channel 8 6:30 pm news, they said it would be visible in the San Diego skies, beginning at 6:34 pm, for a only a few minutes, traveling rapidly from Southwest to Northeast. The Navy plans to fire a missile from a ship somewhere in the Pacific Ocean to destroy the satellite. I hope they're a damn good shot because that thing was really haulin' ass across the sky! | | Wednesday, November 14th, 2007 | 8:15 pm

I'm so going to Hell for this one
While working the registration line at a convention last month in Long Beach, I saw/overheard this one: A woman who had no arms ( Her hands came straight out of her shoulders--More likely the unfortunate birth defect caused by her mother taking an injection of Delalutin to prevent a miscarriage) was desperately searching for her party in the crowd of thousands of people waiting to get through registration. Every now and then she walked past me, standing on her toes, trying to peer over the crowd. Eventually she came by me again while talking on her cell phone and (I suppose) out of frustration she yelled out, "Would you like me to jump up and down, waving my arms?!" I stifled back a smirk, picturing the poor lady waving her non-existent arms, and have felt guilty for it ever since. -_- | | Saturday, July 14th, 2007 | 5:56 pm

San Diego Fair
I was at the San Diego Fair last Thursday with my son and was looking at livestock. We were looking at pretty average-sized cows (although to a child it would've been big), and I overheard a young girl exclaiming, "Oh my gosh! I didn't know they got THAT big!" It was so adorable. :^> | | Saturday, June 30th, 2007 | 2:51 pm

not necessarily overheard, but rather 'oversaw'
my friend and i were on our way to walmart (because it was the only thing still open at 1am), and we were sitting at a red light. we were right behind a car that had two illuminated screens in the back seat. ok, now most of the time that im behind a car with those, they have like disney movies in for the kids or something similar. no, not this time. this time is was some high quality porn. my friend and i just looked at each other and were like 'are you seeing what i'm seeing?" and we just laughed. | | Monday, June 25th, 2007 | 5:04 pm

Never can say goodbye!
- on trying to cancel an account with PeoplePC ... "I think I finally convinced her to close out my business with them. She gave me a 17-digit cancellation confirmation number, which of course raises the question of why that number requires seventeen digits. Are that many people cancelling? You can write out the entire population of the planet in ten digits. Why do they need more number combinations than that?" |
