Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the inaugural edition of Yvesdropping. Hopefully, time will show that the cleverest elements of this new feature extend beyond its deliberately misspelled and mostly meaningless name. Thank you for your submissions of conversations overheard, eavesdropped, and butted into; please keep them coming to yvesdroppings - at - gmail - dot - com. For some reason, most of the submissions so far have related to substance abuse, which is odd -- we were expecting to hear more about fisting. But then, we're always expecting that.
