Hello, and welcome to the pilot edition of “Overheard in Rhode Island.” Over on The Twitter, we’ve been collecting funny, weird and spontaneous quotes from people who follow @WBRUnews. If you’ve got a great quote for future editions of OH in RI, there are plenty of ways you can send it to us: you can email us at newsblog@wbru.com; you can post it in the comments below; or, if you’re on Twitter, you can tweet the quote along with the tag #OHinRI. So, without further ado, let’s get right to it:

• From the illustrious halls of WBRU: looking at a CD that had been mailed to the station, our Entertainment News reporter Goose remarked, “Swedish indie pop. This is, like, my favorite subgenre of s**t.” Off to a good, wholesome start!
• theph3nom: “#OHinRI Imagine getting someone’s finger in the mail…” Um, ew. Not sure if the lack of context here makes this one better or worse.
• kevinroose: “OH at Brown: ‘Would swine flu be a good diet?’” Sure, why not? It’s gotta be better than cafeteria food.
• acorn_hat: “#OHinRI ’suicide is the best kind of workout.’” Wow, diet and exercise advice! I gotta try some of this.
  
• desrosj: “The pill is 40 dollars. I did a lot of research it is the best one on the market. It’s called the strip. #OHinRI” Ooookay, not sure if I’m trying that.
  
• And finally, jwghaller says “Here’s a bunch of old ones: http://community.livejournal.com/overheardinri/ #OHinRI” Some real gems in there, but it looks like it’s been a while since that page has been regularly updated. Let’s pick up the baton, guys!

Keep submitting your overhearings, and see you next week!
