Christmas in October

Girl: Are you ready for Christmas break?
Guy: I'm ready to hook up with some ho ho hos!

-- Overheard in December, at Murphy's

It's reason enough

Guy: I don't think that's why you made out with her -- because she wouldn't leave.

-- To his friend, very loudly, outside the post office

Probably not the most PC way to put it

Girl: I got into a car accident once. My dad wouldn't pay for the damage, so I had to work like a little Mexican all summer to make enough money to cover it.

-- Talking to her friends while walking through the quad

Intro, or, What the heck this is all about

Alright kiddies, here's the deal. A little while back, I was introduced to Overheard in New York by a friend of mine. It's a pretty great idea -- people submit ridiculous conversations that they overhear in or around NYC. These snippets, when taken out of context, prove to be hilarious. It really is a great web site.

So here's the LC version. If you check out the original Overheard in NY, you can probably get the gist of how it works. If you hear something that you think is worthy of showcasing, send an e-mail to overheardatlc@gmail.com with the piece of conversation and where you were when you heard it. Because Loyola isn't as anonymous as the entire city of New York, no names will be involved. Your name and e-mail address will not be given away, sold or bartered for -- ever. This is just for fun.

Alright then. Let's get right to it.
