Overheard and overseen

I've just watched a perfectly ordinary-looking guy put seven creamer packs in one cup of coffee.

"She had these implants. They looked like shoeboxes. In both size and shape."

Guy at playground takes out his cigarette and says, "C'mon, babe, we gotta go to Whole Foods."

"I don't drink around my in-laws, because I might relax."

"Do we have a quorum?"
"I think we even have a quorum of Kathys."

An author in my writer's group: "I could be on the Revision Diet." [Stamps foot and whines:] "If I want chips, I can have them!"

That was my favourite line, too. It's like a mini-movie in my head now.


The guy is played by Callum, just because.

Ooh, that's a nice mental picture.

I don't actually even remember what the guy looked like. Or, for that matter, where this happened; there's no Whole Foods here in Mooville, that's for sure. I was cleaning out the computer room and I found a notebook so old that it actually had bits of an early draft of Transfigurations in it, and several of these quotes were in it, too.

Callum is just the prettiest thing, as I was reminded again.


You need the Nokia 6200something *misses lovely company phone*, either for snapshots to place with your crack-quotes, or to record whole overheard conversations on audio or video! ;)


And you are kidding, right? You are not really living in "Mooville".
