"I'll have to introduce you to her, she totally looks like Britney Spears... except she's really short. And her hair is kinda pink."
--One girl to another, sitting outside Pimentel Hall
...So that's kinda like how my car is just like James Bond's car, except it's purple, and oh, yeah, mine is a bike instead of a car?

"What?!"
"I said was the teacher hurrying you?"
"Oh, I though you said marrying."
--A girl and a guy in the crosswalk at Bancroft and Channing

"You ran? You ran in London???"
--An incredulous girl to the guy she was walking with
But so long as he wasn't doing it with scissors it was ok, right?

"Noooo, Razor was the original scooter."
--One guy to several others, apparently in an impassioned debate
And you know what the great part is? Its offspring and copycats have managed to retain every bit of its utter ridiculousness.

"You know, if I had a book to read, I'd come here too, the creek is so cool."
"Yeah. Pity about it being contaminated with untreated sewage."

"Why do they call it Antropology lab? There's no lab! There are no safety goggles. We're in a classroom! It's not like we're even examining bones or artifacts or anything. We sit and do worksheets all day!"
"Still upset about not being accepted into the chem major, huh?"

"Yeah, not many bands talk much. Like at the Warfield, John hardly talked at all."
"Yeah, but he's always like that. John's kind of afraid of the fans, so he keeps quiet. John, on the other hand, was pretty chatty."
--A guy and a girl, in the huge mass of people leaving the concert
Boy, John sure sounds schizophrenic...

Except for I later heard them mention a glockenspiel... which tipped me off that they were talking about the band They Might Be Giants whose two lead singers are both named John. And the backup? Dan, Dan, Dan and Dan.

"That was funny! Why are they not ass tonight? They weren't playing this well yesterday"
--Mark Stewart, (lead singer of the opening band "The Negro Problem") and a surprised guy standing near me in the audience

"What're we going to do? ... I don't know how to scalp..."
--A guy to his friend
Much less frightening when you know that they were outside the greek theatre, and holding tickets (instead of knives or something.)

"It's like... some kind of penile macarena."
--A guy in the audience, on the dancing of Ed Kowalczyk (of LIVE)
Now he didn't approach the gumby-ness of Stone Temple Pilot's Scott Weiland, but I must say Mr. Kowalczyk's moves were equally cool.
