Girl talking to her friend downtown:	I mean, he has a nice body. He’s big but he’s not fat. He just has some atoms around his stomach that are farther apart.

A 10-year-old, perched atop the jungle gym, holding forth about Halloween:	Halloween? Nowadays it's all about CANDY. When I was a kid, I really got into it. Now...I just go through the motions. I'm like, “Hey lady, I have on a costume. Give me some candy already.”


In Texas French Bread Bakery, an old dude to his companion:	Veterans Day! I'm so damn old, I call it Armistice Day. The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. That's what it means to me!

Fratboy #1 at a UT football game, while the jumbotron shows a group of Pom Squad girls:	Dude, it's those girls from last year.
Fratboy #2:	Yeah, I know that girl! I put my penis in her!

i was at the playground next to my place the other day and a bunch of kids were swinging and 'sliding' and one of the eight year-olds, reaching the apex of his swinging motion, yelled, "I FEEL SO ALIVE!" So freaking awesome, yet kind of sad, in the sense that an 8 year-old could feel jaded and not 'alive' at this point. maybe the best thing i've heard all year.
