"You're telling me your bruises aren't green?"
--Overheard in the elevator in Evans Hall

Again, with the "I have no idea" category.

Seen: Two grocery bags filled with newish Converse tennis shoes of all sizes, styles and colors, sitting on the curb on parker st.

"Oh the poor children!"
--A woman heard in passing, outside Fat Slice Pizza, where 30 kids about 6 years old were lined up at the register with their teacher.

"I drowned 7 times!"
--Overheard in the women's bathroom in Evans Hall

And considering that condition, she looked remarkably well.

"No WAY is that actually her name-- maybe it's ethnic or something? How do you spell that?"
"No, it really is S-P-R-I-N-K-L-E-S."
"Did her parents smoke crack? I mean, with a name like that the _best_ they can hope for is that she'll grow up to own a Baskin-Robbins... that kind of name belongs on a nudie-show marquee..."

At what point does giving your kid a bad name constitute child abuse?

"It's only premarital sex if you're going to get married."
-- Message that flashed between the update about Friday's closing Down Jones, and the current time and temperature, on a large electronic sign in San Francisco's Financial District.

I have no idea.
I'm not sure if that sign was hacked, or if that was an odd, odd advertisement that someone paid to have run.
And I can't quite grasp who would want to share that message with the world-- is it meant to be conservative or liberal?
I watched the sign for several minutes afterwards, but it didn't show anything else out of the ordinary.

I half expected it to show an anagram of "Sing doo wah diddy." (Cool points to anyone who knows what I'm talking about.)

Seen: A street vendor in Berkeley selling handmade, crocheted, all-natural fiber... cell phone holders.

I wonder how well those sell...

"Berkeley professors totally don't have their act together. Every single one I've had is always running like, exactly 10 minutes late on starting lecture."
--Overheard in Stat class this morning

---

I sure hope that she was just here for the summer... because if you attended Cal full time, you'd have to figure out "Berkeley time" (all classes start at 10 after the hour) eventually... right? Right?

"Rabid Rat Fondue."
--Scrawled on a wall in Emeryville

---

I don't want to know.

**update 21 June**
Apparently, they're a band.

"Ew, look at how... FAT her face is."
--A 400 pound woman, jabbing her finger disdainfully at a baby doll in Kmart

Um.
No comment.
