É um dos meus blogs preferidos.
O Overheard in New York é, basicamente, uma coletânea de frases entreouvidas em Nova York. O resultado é um blog sempre interessante, que mostra como a vida pode ser surpreendente.
Como dizia o Jules Dassin, “há 8 milhões de histórias em Nova York”. Estas são algumas delas.
Guy on cell: Of course I hate her! However, that’s not gonna stop me from fucking her.

–outside The Martini Red Lounge, Staten IslandJewish guy: You know, all the famous people are Jewish, like Einstein, and–
Black guy: Man, shut the fuck up, what the fuck is wrong with you? Ain’t you ever heard of Martin Luther King, Jr.? He ain’t Jewish; hell, that motherfucker ain’t even white. Jesus Fucking Christ!
Jewish guy: Very good! Jesus Christ!
–E trainQueer: So how was your date?

(O título desse é “I Give Her 2 Months”)NYU chick #1: Aren’t vegetarian hot dogs just as sketchy as normal hot dogs?
NYU chick #2: Maybe, but I would rather eat the stamen of a sketchy plant than the anus of a sketchy pig.
–Criff Dogs, St. Mark’s PlaceJewish Professor: …for example, we have the white people that vote, and we have the nig…bla…African-Americans that vote…
–NYU classroomMom: I know you would love homeschooling but you would have to be really sick or have a broken leg or something.

Rafael: o pessoal do Insanus iniciou uma coletânea semelhante no blog coletivo Conversas Furtadas, como por exemplo:
— “E agora vão embalsamar o Papa.”
— “O que é embalsamar?”
— “Hm, acho que é encher de palha.”

Abraço.
O João Moreira Salles e a Raquel Zangrandi fizeram uma “Breve história oral de Brasília” só com frases entreouvidas por lá. Muito bom, tá no nominimo. Se ainda não viu, vá lá ver. Vale a pena. Caio.
Adorei a do hot dog e a da teenage girl.
Acho que, para uma versão carioca desse blog, teria que ser conversas ouvidas na praia. Sabe quando você vai sozinho, pra pegar um sol ou ler um livro, mas não tem como não “overhear” a conversa dos grupos à sua volta? Sempre tem fofocas cabeludíssimas sendo contadas.
olá,
lí “queria ser ditador por um dia”!
texto perfeito na ironia e no humor!
parabéns mesmo!!!
