Overheard and overseen

[resonant]

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

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."

I love it. It's like when you order a bacon cheeseburger with fries and a diet coke with lemon. awesome.

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


The guy is played by Callum, just because.

Wow!

Who needs to make up dialog when you can overhear things like this? The implant one, in particular, is scary. The quorum of Cathys is delightful.

Thanks for sharing!

I've been accused of having a little coffee with my cream. That much cream, however, is also known in some circles as "too cheap to spring for a latte."

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".

It depends on where you get your coffee. There's a twin cities chain that makes the toughest coffee I've ever had anywhere. If I forget to ask them for some hot water in it, I have to pour in about a quarter cup of half and half. The upside is, if I get a latte, I don't have to ask for four shots . . .

I think this was actually me.

Bwuahahah.

A quorum of Kathys: it should be mandatory for every group.
