I think for me this honor has to go to the quote:
“I’m chortling, bitch!”
Which, I overheard this week at school.
Anyone heard something random, cool, or really quotable when you weren’t directly involved in the conversation?

Ruthy! Put the Hawk away! Company is coming over!
?? “I’m chortling bitch!”
Huh? Ummmm… a chortle is a chuckling laugh. Why is this statement cool or quoteworthy? It’s sounds like something a not that bright jr highschooler might say.
'splain me if you would.
“Satan! Get down off of that table!”
astro, the point of that quote was it’s amazing randomness. Can you imagine the conversation that would have led to someone exclaiming that to someone else?
I am well aware of the meaning of chortling, and it makes the line funny.
One that I said myself and got funny looks from people who didn’t know the context:
“So this is what my life has degenerated to. My only solace comes from getting high and watching transvestite movies.”

Hehe, that last post looks like a transcript from Larry King. Oops.
I can’t remember but this thread gives me the perfect opportunity to ask you something…
Who are you? Are you Lucky Charms with a name change or another poster entirely?
It’s still me. Same old Lucky. But now Lucki.
I changed it because it anagrams better, looks cooler and doesn’t look so much like an advertisement, while still making a connection with the Circus Peanut cereal.

“…but I had unprotected anal sex with a Nigerian three years ago.”
:eek:
Definitely something I didn’t need to overhear.
“No, no, I said masturbation! Fuck you, duuuude!”
In the IKEA restaurant.
I was in the park and I heard this guy giving a girl a long reassurance that he wasn’t planning to take her in to the park and rape her as they walked in to the park together. It was really wierd, because he sounded so serious, and wasn’t even using language like “You can trust me”, but instead “You know I’m not going to rape you, right? Because…”
On the other hand, I was stoned, so that could be a little off.

“How long do you think a baby could survive if no one was taking care of it?”
I heard a grade 10 student asking her friends… don’t know where it came from :eek:
Overheard- Two lesbians talking about bondage
<mentally wanders away from conversation>
<zones back in to hear>
Yeah, but if you could do that with a wire brush, just think what you could do with a spatula!
This has just got to be a cat-related quote.
Reminds me of one of mine that Dr. LindyHopper has told me would get me arrested if someone had overheard:
“Tequila! Where’s my gun!”
An officer chewing out an enlisted man:
“You shut your mouth when you’re talking to me!”
I had gone out to lunch with the CIO of the insurance company I worked for, and a couple of the managers. I was just a lowly IT person, but they liked me cause I fixed thier problems. One of managers was a known complainer, and always had something to whine about. He was talking about a big music festival that took place the prior weekend, and going on and on about how bad the parking was etc…After he finished his rant, I asked him “What, you didn’t like it?”
There was dead silence in the car, then he said no, I hated it. I said, forgetting that I was in a car with the CIO etc. Said, “With all that to complain about, I’d of thought youd be in fucking nirvana”. Everbody laughed, I realized who was in the car, and kinda wondered about my future.
Later that day, I was walking down a hallway, and overheard the CIO talking to some of the other officers in the company. All I heard was “…I’d have thought you’d be in fucking nirvana!”, and then all the officers laughing thier asses off. Didn’t worry so much after that.
ohhhhhh… I love this topic 
Me and my friend Scott have a habit of writing things down as we hear them after we were taught to eavesdrop as part of a Creative Writing exercise (thanks Weigl!)…so I’ve got tons of these…here goes!
walking through the cafeteria at college “so…I had a crush on my cousin”
“I’m a sucker, not a blower.” they had just been offered Kleenex and refused.
“Hi…I’m Bonnie, and I’m sex starved…pay no attention to my male following” my friend, explaining how she felt about being “just one of the guys to all her friends”
“Hey! Duuuuuude, we started a mosh pit to that dancing hampster song!!” my 7th grade brother after a school dance
“Hey, get chickenhead on the phone…and take that table cloth off your head! It’s so not in style anymore.” toni talking about calling a friend of hers and commenting on a video on BET.
Boy to girl “I’m gonna buy you some halls.” Look of COMPLETE shock on girls face…“You can’t marry me NOW!”
“Take my crusties, Dad” my brother offering my dad the crusts of his grilled cheese…
“It’s like a bug zapper…but for angels”
I’ll have to get Scott to give me the rest of his really good ones…
Said by a friend of mine describing a week she and her husband spent at a pagan festival of some sort.
“And then the lesbians invited me over for poptarts and single-malt.”
I sat in front of a couple on the DC Metro. The woman was describing her menstrual pains, and the man was evidently not enjoying the conversation because I hear him say:
“Sht, why you gotta get all vaginal on a motherfcker?”
That was funny.
