I just found two great sites - Overheard in New York and Overheard in the Office. Both are chock full of funny snippets of conversations that were - you guessed it - overheard by somebody and then submitted for our amusement. It made me think of my Dad, since he is King Eavesdropper.
My favorite:
Woman: No, I’m telling you, I’m right! He couldn’t eat the Trix because he was an adult rabbit, and Trix were only supposed to be for kids.
Man: Well, I always thought it was just because he was a rabbit and not a person.
[A period of silence -- the woman looks down at her food.]
Man: What’s wrong?
Woman: I’m just really getting tired of you always being wrong.

Does anyone have any suggestions for cool websites/new blogs? I am so bored with all of my usual haunts (no offense if you are the author of any of my regular stops). I’m open to anything - entertainment, arts/crafts, science, music, art. Anything.

So, I’ve been talking to Puffy Kitty lately, and he was telling me that his web presence just isn’t what it used to be. Some of you may remember the short lived puffykitty.com years, where he had a website but we never put anything on it, except a picture of the Puffster. At that time, he was more interested in finding his puffy bretheren. Alas, nary a one was found, and Puff got discouraged. “Screw the internet!” he told me. We let the domain name expire.
But now he says he needs to get his message out, and I have to agree. I told him we would take care of it. Being the guardian of an omniscient and omnipotent stuffed cat is an important role. Mainly, he just wants to show off all the pictures of himself we took in Europe, but from time to time he does have some important stuff to say.
However, there have already been obstacles. Can you believe that someone out there has ALREADY registered puffykitty.com??? Who is this person? What’s their glitch? Don’t they know that the REAL, the ONE AND ONLY Puffy Kitty needs that address?
But we didn’t let that stop us, oh no. Puffy Kitty cannot be held back. So today we registered puffy-kitty.com and soon we will have it up, so that the word of the Puff can be heard. Below is a preview.
Soon.

This is funny. This guy writes letters to companies, and instead of complaining, gives faint praise to their products.
Example:
Dear Slim Jim,
First of all, I want to say that I appreciate Slim Jim’s unconventional attitude and distinctive beefy taste. Whether you’re craving a meat stick or some good old-fashioned jerky, Slim Jim has both! Yes!
My question is this: How many Slim Jims do you make each year? Probably a lot, huh?
Stay extreme!
All the best,
Tom
I love the “Stay Extreme!” part 
And just in case you were wondering, they make make 533 million (enough to circle the Earth 2.7 times) Slim Jims a year.
That’s a lot of Slim Jim.

Along the lines of one of my favorite sites, Go Fug Yourself, we now have You Knit What?, which slams horrible horrible knitting patterns. I know, it sounds lame, but just have a look. [thanks to freakgirl for the link]

Thanks to Michael at Pipedreams for alerting me to this hilarious comicstrip about a serial killer named Butch. Its tagline: “Because serial killers are people too.”

Once again, the Go Fug Yourself ladies have me rolling on the floor.
I have no idea who this poor woman is, but my favorite part of this post is “…There is no sort of sartorial version of the Pythagorean theorem wherein, like, very high boots + longish shirt = pants“.
