Why "Simon"? Why?

I Would Simonize It All Day Long

Ok, I'm officially hooked on "overheard". I adore those moments - especially when they happen in loud public or semi-public places. The noise parts like a curtain for just a moment and reveals a voice, loud and clear, giving you a wonderfully out of context discourse moment.

Favorites from my own life include:
- "Someday, Kippy, you'll have to shave too" my 9th grade science teacher talking to one of the more annoying boys in the class during lab
- "...Stick it in!!!" one of my (favorite) professors having an animated conversation at a party
