Overheard on the Muni underground while idling in the tunnel between Church and Van Ness for 5+ minutes. The speaker was a possibly home-challenged fellow in his mid-fifties, dirt under the fingernails, shaggy hair, multiple dusty parcels, etc.: [Shouting in the direction of the driver] "Just GO, goddammit! Fix Muni my ass. You can take your fare hike and blow out it your own ass. I'm TRYING to get to Civic Center! I've been on this fucking train now for forty-five minutes. Just push the goddamn lever and go. The tunnel's empty! Go! Don't look at the lights. Just fucking GO!"

Overheard Lines, the city's favorite eavesdropping site since 2005, came to a close today. But why is this deliriously entertaining site stopping? Well, according to Tim, the site's father, "I've been way too busy; people on the bus have been way too on-their-iPods-and-not-saying-anything-I-found-interesting; and many other Overheard sites have sprung up that can easily fill your day better than I can." Alas. And now, Overheard's final listen: "Guy: 'Do you have a pen?' Girl: 'No, I don’t. Sorry. I’m a bad protester. I have a Kleenex, though.'"

We came across this wonderful blind item over at ValleyWag (via Overheard in the Office). It seems that someone on the Board of Supes doesn't know the difference between a placeholder name and their signature, euphemistically. Do you know who it was? We're going to go ahead sweepingly generalize that it was either Ammiano or Dufty, because gays only care about little boys and baggies, shiny objects, and unicorns.

Council member: I heard you need my John Doe on something.

Clerk: I need your signature on some documents.

Council member: Yeah, my John Doe.

Clerk, laughing: You mean your John Hancock -- John Doe is an anonymous dead body. [Council member looks puzzled.] John Hancock has the biggest signature on the Declaration of Independence -- that's where the term comes from.

Council member: Oh.
