I would love to live in New York, but only if I had the money. No need to be poor in New York; I can be poor in Norman.

Alas, I've discovered a Web site, a blog tabbed as one of the coolest by Time. It's called Overheard in New York, and it's basically the handiwork of six people in New York who document real conversations.

Believe me, while the capacity for fibbing is pretty high here -- anybody double-checking these conversations? -- it matters not. This site if freaking brilliant and a wonderful timewaste, and it's legitimate Web Americana.

If you don't laugh out LOUD because of one of these conversations ... Let's just say you'll either thank me or curse me for introducing you to this site.
