You might call me an ephemerologist; I’m a big fan of stuff that gets lost in translation, misheard, overheard, taken out of context and all that stuff. Previously (a loooong time ago, so check it out if you’ve not been there lately), I posted a link to The Disturbing Search Requests weblog. Culled from the “referrer logs” of various webservers, these requests reveal what visitors to these sites were really after (though, we can only imagine why they clicked through to the sites that they did). Anyway, today’s post is about a site called, “Overheard in New York” The whole thing is pretty fantastic, but so far I think this one from October 2003 is my favorite. It was spoken by a cabbie, stuck in a traffic jam caused by President Bush’s visit to the city: “Incredible, one man can make such fuck!”
