Portland, Maine, USA

A basic steal from Overheard in New York:

Yes, we ARE shameless here at Apartment404.

-------------------------------------------

"Will you take a check from Bangor Savings?" - from F.Y.E., 11/19/06, a bank which until this week charged its customers $1.50 each time they made an ATM withdrawal. Nice!

"That guy's a joke. He can't even drive a stick." - from a burger joint, early November

"I don't feel any guilt at all." - mid November, the Barron Center, Portland

"Work harder. Millions on welfare depend on you." - White Mountains on New Hampshire, early November

What ya gonna do? - "Gonna put 'ya in jail, that's what." - Portland, 11/19/06: 1:00 pm

"What's left to lose, besides H.?" - Portland, 11/19/06: 7:15 pm

"Writers only like to sniff their own turds." - Bukowski, 9/30/91

"I remember, when I was in university I studied history, and there was this one major historian of the Third Reich, Ian Kershaw. And his quote was, 'The path to Auschwitz [Gitmo?] was paved with indifference.' I know it's not very funny being a comedian talking about the Holocaust, but I think it's an interesting idea that not everyone in Germany had to be a raving anti-Semite. They just had to be apathetic." - the incredible Sasha Baron Cohen in "Rolling Stone", November 30, '06

Separated at Birth - another idea stolen, this one from the greatest mag ever, Spy: Big Hat Guy...see page 2 of the '05 annual report for a big hat - and.... - "Very Big Hat"!!

"I don't get it" - Portland, many, many times

"What a wierdo" - Portland, ditto

"What an asshole" - ditto, ditto
