Big Update

A big update today. Thanks to everyone whose become our virtual friend on Facebook (We virtually <3 you!) and who have submitted in the past couple of days. Keep 'em coming!

On a more random note, who is this year's commencement speaker?

I mean, I'm sure he's qualified, but seriously, why don't I give a speech? I have some interesting ideas and parting words for this years class. Ok, I'm rambling.

I mean, Iraq really isn't a war, c'mon...

Girl #1: I don't understand why Liberals have such a problem with "Dub-ya"
Girl #2: Oh, I know. It's not like he's some Hitler or something.
Girl #1: Yeah, they act as if he started some huge war.
Girl #2: Seriously.

Well, I can still go to Newbury Street, right?

Girl to a group of her friends waiting for her just outside BCPD: So
girlies, I guess I'm like, going to prison.

The emphysema is pretty sweet too.

Two kids smoking on the patio under 90 being much too cool for school:
Guy 1: Dude, everything here sucks.
Guy 2: Yeah. [long, thoughtful pause] Except for smoking.

There's a Biggie track where he addresses this very issue.

Updatezzzz

At BC, this is actually a legitimate complaint.

Black Girl on Cellphone: Damn, Shantel. I am tired of all these white people!

Sometimes I have to question whether honesty is always the best policy.

Scrubby Looking Guy Talking on the Phone: Yeah, feel free to call me later, since I'm just going to be sexually frustrated tonight.

Both Overheard by Bryant, Lower.

Overheard at BC on Facebook? OH YEAH.

We have created a Facebook group. It is entitled Overheard at BC. You can search for it by typing those very words (your choice on capitalization) into the "Group Search" function on Facebook. Simply put, this will hopefully raise our collective profile (yours and mine, of course) and enable more people to contribute and enjoy Overheard at BC. This group is the perfect life-decision for those of you who feel power in numbers, even if they're virtual.

Yours in Christ,
The Ear

God...don't you know anything?!?

BC Girl: So then I had to drop off my laundry, oh and then I had to like go to the jewelers to get my Tiffany Bracelet fixed (holds up Tiffany bracelet).
Long Suffering Guy Friend: Is that a dog collar or something?
BC Girl: ... Fuck you.

Overheard by Rita, Lower Dining Hall.

Diet Coke! It's the real thing!

Girl: Powerade just doesn't hydrate. I drank like 4 of those yesterday and I was still thirsty.
Her Friend: Yeah, I know what you mean.
Girl: You know what does quench thirst though...? Diet Coke.

Overheard by Nick, Comm Ave Bus.

Did you know that "Muslim" is actually spoken by over 1.4 billion people.

French exchange student, referring to the native language of Senegal: I don't remember the name, what was it...
Other male student, cutting in: It was Muslim.

Overheard by Court, Devlin Hall.

WHAHAPPENED?

No, contrary to what you may have thought, we did not relocate to L.A. and begin writing for Best Week Ever. You must be thinking of someone else.

In any case, what happened was absolutely nothing funny was said in the four weeks since we last posted. Nothing. Not even some freshmen regaling the Newton Bus with tales of sexual exploits gone awry. I know, I couldn't believe it either. But Caitlin saves the day this week, so everybody say "Thanks Caitlin..." There we go.

Ladies, this just isn't something you ask a man, ever. It would be like us asking you to stop having periods because, y'know, it's icky.

Guy on Cell Phone: Vasecto-my? Vasecto-you!
