Invalidating Validation

overheard_12_05.jpg
It's turned a little bit colder these last few days. Bostonist takes the easy way out of the cold and takes the commute to the underground. Riding the T a little bit more frequently and we've heard a couple things we just kind of giggled to ourselves when we heard them. As always, send us those crazy mutterances you’ve heard around the Hub and we'll include them the next time we bring you "Overheard".
Outside a party in Allston, some hipsters chat...a younger, excited girl recounts the only part of the story we could catch: "...and then, they cut each others rat tails to make mustaches..."

A candid conversation was interruped by "credit or debit?" at Johnnie's Foodmaster (Somerville)
Cashier: You mean, if someone came in here and tried to kill me, you wouldn't stop 'em?
Bagger: If my own brother was getting murdered, I wouldn't stop 'em. Well, my younger brother, at least.

Tall, loud, and blonde woman approaches her oversized SUV with a Honda in the front and a VW in the back making for a rather tight fit:
"Well, I know I didn’t sandwich myself in. Now I feel like the turkey"

Education and theory often takes a ride on the Red Line. We caught this as we were on an outbound train pulling into Central Square. What happened when he actually got to Harvard?
Harvard Grad Student Guy: It basically invalidated, like, the whole concept of validation.
