Getting Ass and the Library

Thank you, SuperFrankenstein. To kick things off, here’s the word from the streets where I live, yo. All quotes guaranteed overheard in downtown Brooklyn, part of the Free City of New York:

“First we’ll go get some BEER…then we’ll pick up some MEAT.”
--woman to baby in a stroller, in a sing-song voice

“I been waitin' till I got paid to buy my pants, and I ain't lettin' nobody tell me I can't get 'em.”
--teenage girl on her cell phone

“What…exactly…do you CALL YOURSELF DOIN’?”
--unmarked cop car, over loudspeaker, to other car trying to back up through a crowded intersection

And the winner:

“Like, getting ass and the library? Are, like, opposites.”
--one teenaged boy to another, outside the local branch library

Good job. I suggest you change the name of the blog to "Beer and Meat."

Hey Stuart. Steve Lieber here.

I was on foot, one block from my home when a a middle-aged woman sitting up on her porch yelled out at me.

"Just keep walkin'. You ain't bringin your drugs in here."

I look around, confirm there's no one she could possibly be talking to except me. I speak up. "Um... Are you talking to me?"

"Get out my face. I'm calling the landlord."

Hey Steve. So, uh...what did you do with the drugs?
