It’s another light week here at Overheard in DC headquarters, so we’d like to take this opportunity to remind you that holidays revolving around the consumption of alcohol can make for some very amusing eavesdropping. So, keep your ears open today, and next week we can discover whether green beer makes people even more stupid than regular beer. Of course, this is what is likely to be overheard at Irish Times this afternoon:

Person #1: “Mmmm mmm mm mmmm. Mmmm mmm mmmmm mmm mm mmm?”
Person #2: “What?”
Person #1: “MMMm mmm MM MMMm. MMMM mmm MMMMM MMm mm MMM?”
Person #2 (to another person next to him): “Do you know what he said?”
Person #3: “This ish shooo f***in’ amashhzing. Look at all the shmokin’ chicks! I’sh gonna gemme summadat.”
Person #2: “Oh f*** it, I’m gonna go get another beer.”

Aaaanyway. As always, if you happen to overhear something you just can’t keep to yourself, send it in to overheardindc (at) gmail (dot) com.

Quote of the Week

At the Queen concert:

Father to a son: “I wonder what Freddie Mercury looks like after all these years.”

After the jump, early-onset senility, battling terrorists, and real-life drunks.

As always, we gratefully acknowledge the continually awesome Overheard in New York for letting us borrow their concept. And for not complaining when we’re lame.
