Love is a burning thing. Two people coming together, sparks flying, cartoon birds, little cherubs flying around shooting heart-shaped arrows, all that good stuff. Sometimes you see somebody across the bar, and you just know. Sometimes it’s on the Metro, and probably almost never it’s a Missed Connection on Craigslist. But it’s springtime, so why not go for something romantic?

Overheard of the Week

At the Target last Saturday:

20-something guy reminiscing fondly to his female friend: “You remember (name)? Man, she was the first girl I let handcuff me.”

After the jump, odd things to tell one’s boss, murderous cockroaches, and bagpipes.

It’s nice out, skip work and go hear stuff. Then send the results to overheardindc (at) gmail (dot) com
