My School Chemistry Teacher: "Hi."
Me: "Oh, hi. How are you?"
MSCT: "Very well thanks. You're very hairy."
Me: "Yeah, I guess so."
MSCT: "I used to be hairy. Couldn't get the beard, but had the hair."
Me: "You would look a bit like Rick Wakeman if you had long hair."
MSCT: "You think so?"
Me: "Maybe."
MSCT: "So, you think Bush is on his way to a second term?"
Me: "Um, no actually."
MSCT: "Really? You think Kerry will win?"
Me: "Yeah. It's the Vice Presidential debate tonight."
MSCT: "Who is the Democrat Vice President?"
Me: "Um, John Edwards."
MSCT: "I always felt sorry for Dan Quayle. No, not him...Al Gore. I didn't feel sorry for Dan Quayle."
Me: "No. How are your classes this year?"
MSCT: "They're okay."

(x-post) There should be long pauses between each line of dialogue.

*i am crossing the street with the walk sign behind some random 30-something dude. a car stops very sharply and r30sd makes a (admittedly unnecessary) 'whoa, don't hit me' hand gesture*

*we finish crossing street and car turns, stops, rolls down window*

driver yells in our direction: "HAVE SOME MOTHERFUCKING COURTESY, ASSHOLE!" speeds off.

nyc is great.

Toll Collector: Don't you have anything smaller?
Me: (earnestly) No.
Toll Collector (thinking he's talking under his breath): Liar.

Has there ever been a T/S Jersey vs. NYC thread?

Hurting (Hurting), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 02:37 (twenty-one years ago)

This is the dialogue from the TV show they were filming in front of my apartment yesterday....

Woman: Oh my god! Someone just shot at me!

Blind Detective: CALM DOWN! CALM DOWN! I-I-I'M A DETECTIVE! TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED!

They went thru it 5-6 times before I had to leave for school and each time he kept sounding angry.

Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried
(yadda yadda yadda)
I tried to fuck her in the car but she threw me out.

I was walking up the street from my office to Subway, past a gas station, through a stench of sewage:

Random Filling His Car With Gas Man: What's up with the smell, man?
Me: I don't know. It smells like sewage.
Gas Man: It smells like SHIT.
Me: (almost entirely out of earshot) What do you think sewage is, dildy?
Gas Man: DON'T PATRONIZE ME!

an old one i posted to ile years ago, but still the coolest play i've ever seen someone make.

*waiting in line next to a Karen Allen lookalike in a convenience store*

convenience store clerk, looking at my stuff and Karen Allen's stuff on the counter: "are you two together?"

karen allen, smiling mischeviously: "no, not yet."

*dumbfounded and embarrassed*

clerk: "he is cute."

karen allen: "i know."

*nervous smile, leave store very quickly*

*my gf and i standing on a crowded subway car yesterday. a hasidic jewish family -- mother, son (maybe 10) and daughter (maybe 8) -- sit below us. hasidic jewish son notices an elderly chinese woman sitting near them*

hjs, pulling his eyes to make them slanted: "cho shi ow doooh" [mock chinese gibberish]

*his mother and sister laugh hard*

my gf: "learn some manners, people. i'm jewish, and you make ME want to be anti-semitic."

*mother tries to give us dirty look, fails. they get off the train at the next stop.*

On the elevator:

Sorority Girl "You know how Meggs hates dirty stuff?"

Her Boyfriend "Yup, dude, she freaks out!"

Sorority Girl "Omigod, the funniest thing happened. I put dirt on her eggs to be, like, funny."

Her Boyfriend "No, that's terrible. You're terrible."

Sorority Girl: "Omigod, I know. I like, actually, felt kind of bad. And I thought she'd see it, but she didn't. She was like -- she took a bite and ate the dirt."

Her Boyfriend "Omigod that's the funniest thing I ever heard. You're bad. Serious bad. Better keep you on my good side."

Sorority Girl "That's right. I'll put dirt in your eggs."

Her Boyfriend "Or somewhere worse."

*They Laugh Together*

*I stop elevator on next floor and walk down the stairs*

They blinded me with science.
Overheard conversation on campus:
Girl 1:"What's that disease, you know that old people get?"
Girl 2"I don't know"
G1 "You know, the one where they forget things. I think Ronald Reagan died of it."
G2 "I really don't remember. Ronald Reagan died?"

Also, my friends and I have a section on our board for Grad School TAs to gripe about their students. This gem comes from there:
"My friend Eric was supervising lab and (about measuring the velocity of stuff) asked: "How would you go about measuring the velocity of a paramecium?" The answer was supposed to be something like having a computer to a screen capture through a microscope or something. Someone answered "well first we must capture the fish." lol FISH? FISH!!!! WTF!? Come on! "
