Overheards, Shout Outs, and More

OVERHEARD
Are there tid-bits of conversations you’ve heard while standing in line at the grocery store, serving a table, or walking down the sidewalk that make you smile, cringe or laugh out loud?

“So I’m holding this bloke’s hand, while drinking, while he’s making out with another girl.”

“That super giant sea monster was right.”

“If Ghostbusters were real, they would’ve proton-packed her.”

“Oh, I love dilemmas!”

“I don’t know what to do tonight. Should I watch Karate Kid?”

SHOUT OUTS
Is there someone or something that deserves a pat on the back or a slap on the wrist?

“Shout Out to all of those folks trickling back into the county for another summer of fun!” ~ Allison Vroman

“Shout out to the runners in the Door County Half Marathon or Nicolet Bay 5k. Keep on, keepin’ on.” ~ Anonymous

OBSESSIONS
Is there anything you can’t stop thinking about, listening to, watching, eating, or drinking? Obsessions are meant to be your of-the-moment fixation.

“I am obsessed with Nantucket Nectars juice. Fruity and flavorful, tasty and refreshing, try Pomegranate Cherry! Love it!” ~ Sally Slattery

“Placenta.” ~ Anonymous

“Britney Spear’s new CD, Femme Fatale. I don’t care if that girl is crazy – her music makes me want to dance!” ~ Anonymous

PET PEEVES
Is there something that really irks you, gets your goat, rubs you the wrong way, drives you up the wall, gets you bent out of shape, puts a stick in your craw, or makes you want to throw in the towel?

“When the hem of your pants creases or rolls up.” ~ Anonymous

“Dog poop in my yard – even when I don’t have a dog.” ~ Anonymous

“The color brown. I’m sick of the blah. Bring on the green.” ~ Anonymous
