You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Of the 3, Jesse, #3 is the most likely. Germany-Ecuador ended some time ago.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Really, none of them is likely, given our exact location. Maybe it was fake-cheering related to Spiderman 3. Who knows?

How did they "stale" the urine?

Fresh urine (while no more gross) is right there. To let it sit around a while in a flagon or a wineskin means keeping it around. And do you only use your OWN stale urine? Or is there a family bucket? Somehow it seems ever so slightly less disgusting to brush with just your own old pee.

I think I missed the beginning of the urine conversation. Which is rather confusing.

Now I have to pee.

OMG! Things on Overheard in New York aren't necessarily overheard, in New York! THE HORRAH! [link]

While possibly not a health risk, using urine in lieu of Colgate is not something I'd endorse as a good grooming tip.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

It lacks the minty freshness.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Here's what I think is an Overheard scandal: I think people are using it to market stuff. Like this:

I Think There's a Flaw Here Somewhere
By Jenny 

Teen: This car is stolen. Man: What the fuck you talking about? Teen: I got a StolenCarReport on my phone about this car being stolen. Man: Muthafucka, you about to get your phone stolen.

--Montague & Hicks, Brooklyn Heights

How the fuck do you "overhear" that "StolenCarReport" has no spaces? And is capitalized?

I know, my skepticism about Overheard is probably annoying, but I fucking hate when people misuse common goods!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have been looking around, thinking about getting another cat, which is sort of a pain in the ass because I live in an apartment.

Some of the rescue places want to do home visits. Does that seem a little bit like overkill to anyone else? Also, the entrance to my apartment, despite my best efforts, has a lingering cat pee odor. That particular spot smelled like cat pee from the moment I moved in (from the previous tenants cats) and my cat peeing just exacerbated the problem. I can't just rip up the carpet, because I do not own the apartment. It isn't in my living area, so I just put an air freshener out, but I really don't want potential new cat ALSO marking his/her territory there!
