"The worst is that she's whiny. The other day she was like 'Where have all the poptarts goooonnnnnneeeee?'"
--A girl walking past my window at about 4am

Unlike the 'cowboys' version of that song, the one with poptarts just never caught on.

"Lately I've decided that weddings are the only way to go. They're so much more profitable."
"You're kidding."
"Nah, you show up, they give you 500 bucks, and you don't even have to play real music... they just like old stuff."
--Two guys in the elevator in Macy*s

"Ew, I never could, I hate him too much."
"The list of people I'd be willing to see naked if they had paper bags over their heads is far longer than the list of those without the paper bags."

--A guy and a girl at the Gap

"And so every time I'm even close to talking to her, Chad steps in and is acting all, you know, and ... aragh! I just wanted to smack him!"
--One guy to another, outside Fat Slice Pizza
