BostonOverheard, Keep It Rolling

We don’t really know what’s going on with the New York folks. They’re always up to something crazy. We thank Michael Malice who’s let us become his partner for “outside New York.” Now you can find the New York crazy conversations at NewYorkOverheard.com, while in Boston check in with us (your ears permitting) every Thursday for what nutso conversations we’re overhearing. Join the fun by sending in the things you overhear on your commute, at lunch, or as you’re sitting alone on a bench wondering how many gubernatorial candidates will be in the race come time to vote in the primary. Drop them into an email and send it off to us cyber-space style to the address overheard – at – bostonist dot com
Walking by the NEC dorm this evening, from the mouth of a little kid "We could buy a time machine... at Bed, Bath and Beyond!" Twentysomething girl on cell phone walking out of the Davis Square T stop "Yeah, we should get drunk and then get in the bath tub."

While trapped in the elevator of the Kenmore Square T Stop, packed after a Red Sox game
Guy 1: “I just hope it doesn't get stuck.”
Guy 2: “Oh would that suck...”
Guy 3: “Nah, it'll only get stuck going up. Going down we got gravity on our side."

On the Orange Line inbound from JP
Hispanic guy: “Sometimes, I'm feelin' Japanese, and when I'm feelin' Japanese you better shut your fuckin' mouth.”
Later when he got off at the Chinatown stop
Same hispanic guy: “Yo man, check out my hair. It's long in the back like
Japanese style.”

And since we don’t really have any where to report this but still find it interesting we’ll just amend it here on the Bostonist Overheard post.
Marathon Monday actor Neil Patrick Harris (a.k.a. "Doogie Howser, MD"). Harris lives in New York but was spotted with his friend/art consultant Jon Shore, also based out of New York but a Weston native. They were seen together with friends and family on Central Street in Wellesley Center watching the Boston Marathon.

Got some infinate wisdom someone else shared with someone else? Heard some knowledge dropped in an inappropriate place? Have you seen a celebrity in the hub? People just like you with keen ears and eyes keep this going. Tell us what you've heard. Send an email to overheard -at- bostonist dot com. Thanks again to NewYorkOverheard for granting us permission to rip off a good idea.
