I think you made a mistake admitting you get some and don't always post all of them, Andrew; this is about to become the "where did my Georgetown frat boy/grampa tourist/junkpunching barista quote go?" So what about the old lady and the Snoop Dogg jersey quote I sent in late July, hmm? HMMMM??

Is it unethical to report your friends' conversations as "overheard" because some of my friends say some remarkably, possibly astoundingly, stupid things. But since I am alleged to be involved in the conversation, I'm not sure if that's really "overheard."

IMGoph, I'm sure she just meant oldER, not old! I say this because I'm a little afraid that you overheard me... *Sigh* And I always thought my first-time-caller-long-time-listener moment would be a bit more witty.

i just turned 30 last week, so i didn't think it was a very accurate statement... Awww, IMGoph, come here and sit by Gramma Bethesdaist. We'll talk about days gone by and turn the sprinklers on these damn kids in my yard. Of course, by "yard" I'm referring to my lady junk.

I *heart* the X2. Never a dull moment on that bus. I once saw a guy selling frozen shrimp out of a styrofoam cooler.

Sometimes it's slim pickins' And yet you turned down the one I sent in with the hick children talking about Patsy Cline's jumpsuit and FDR's wheelchair? Am I really the only one who finds that hysterical?

I keep getting older, but the girls I screw stay around the same age. Fine by me.

I was having lunch with a friend yesterday and I knew his birthday was coming up. He said he was turning 31. He asked how old I was and I said 35. He came back with a look of disbelief and then "Oh my god! Really? Wow!" I gave him the stink eye after that comment since it wasn't a compliment that I could pass for someone younger. I am wondering if 35 is the new 65 and I missed the memo.

30 is the new 57. But thanks to Cialis and Viagra, 57 is the new 15! Until the cops show up.

30 is old... 28 is the new 40.

It did fit, but I was saving that one for next week. I like to have a stock of good ones in case I don't get any in. Sometimes it's slim pickins'

it's funny, because i had an overheard moment this week that would have fit in perfectly with the idot-twentysomething theme. went kinda like this: i was walking at the corner of P and 17th last weekend. a girl on a phone, who appeared to be in her early twenties, said something like, "yeah, they're old, like 29 or 30!" i just turned 30 last week, so i didn't think it was a very accurate statement...

I'm so confused. Was she actually talking about dogs? Does this mean I'm getting old?

"I don't have faith in the other A Dog -- that's who I don't have faith in." I'm B Dog, and I approve of this message.

I think A Dog, B Dog, cellphone girl, and her momma need to be taken to the pound and euthanized.

I've been hearing a lot of talk lately about how ancient 30 is. Last night, at E Street Cinemas, Guy to Girl: "You are Thirty Years Old, Why are you acting like this?" Two weeks ago on GMU campus, girl on the phone, gossiping about her friend's preference for older men: "Their age gap is ridiculous. Thirty is SOOOO much older than 29."
