Back to Biz-Nass!

Welcome back (or almost back) everyone, and to beloved alums: enjoy the real world. Don't tell us about it. It scares us.

It was a slowish summer here at Overheard at Yale; though, LA was full of crazy ass shit. It's time to send me the wacko conversations you overheard during the summer and the Camp Yale shenanigans that are just beginning. Alums, send us weird words from whatever corner of the planet you inhabit. Get cracka-lackin!

"Summers Eve" Wipes to the rescue!

Yalie's drag queen roommate: And I was like "No, I won't fuck you, I'll give you head'...and he was like "come on", and i was like "No, do you fuck before work? well, you must feel really fresh all day."

-Boston, Mass.

Coffee filter goes where?!

Yalie: Oh, hullo.
Larry Flynt: Would you like to have some coffee with me?
Yalie: Oh, sure...do you mean right now?
Larry Flynt: Yes.

Yeah, babe, I'm trying to help you out with that....

Friend Girl: Can't we put down the windows and turn off the AC?
Yalie: That makes my hair go crazy. It's too curly.
Friend Girl: Come on! You know what wind does to MY curly bush.

Somehow not dropping out of college to live at home makes up for it.

Intern Guy: So you live right next to (Big State School)...you must have been at frat parties every weekend in High School, right?
Yalie: Not really, I didn't really go out until my senior year...and we didn't go to college parties.
Intern Guy: Whoa!? No way...I always thought of you as a "Frank the Tank Guy"
Yalie: (grumbles)
Intern Guy: I don't believe you. You mean you were the type of guy that stayed home on the weekends and did homework?
Yalie: I mean kinda....I got into Yale.
Intern Guys: (sadly) But dude...you can never get those years back.

--LA

What were you thinking after the fifth time?

(Yalie enters holding Jamba Juice)

Intern Guy: Wow...so you, like, "like" Jamba Juice.
Yalie: Uh...yeah. It's a smoothie. And it's cold.
Intern Guy: Wow...I've had Jamba Juice six times...and I threw up afterwards EVERY time.
