Hey everybody,

As promised, we’re rolling out new features. The newest one: Post voting. Every post now has 5 stars from which you can rate how funny a quote is. Please vote liberally, as its pop-up free, and allows us to know what people find funny, as the mechanisms for feedback have been relatively minimal in the past. Voting will help us know that you think, say, the dorky prof quotes are overdone, but that you can never get enough dumb New Rez quotes. Or whatever it may be. We’ll also be able to compile “Best Rated” and “Worst Rated” quotes as well.
So, to quote Al Capone, “Vote early, and vote often!”. But he meant that for dead people as well, so ignore that part.

And, for the sake of consistency, here’s a quote to chomp down upon.

Girl #1: Why are so many of the guys at Queen’s hotter than the guys here?
Girl #2: Because hot guys are stupid.–Coffee Shop on University

Hey everybody!

We’re Baaack!Sorry about the hiatus. For the record, blogger.com sucks. We just moved to a much more powerful system,WordPress, that is entirely hosted on our server. In other words, no more content blackouts. Plus, there are tons more little features that make the system just generally better, useful and entertaining.

You can check out old entries without having to use the Archives system, just by clicking “Next” on the bottom of every page. I know, pretty fucking intuitive, but, hey, like I said, Blogger.com sucks.

Thanks for sticking with us while we were down (strangely, traffic wasn’t sharply affected), and we look forward to rewarding your loyalty with improvements. If you notice any bugs, or have any problems with the new site, please let us know! We’re still doing some tinkering.
Cheers, and Keep on Eavesdropping

PS For those of you using the RSS feed, PLEASE note that the feed directory is no longer /rss.xml or /atom.xml, it is now www.overheardatmcgill.com/feed . PLEASE UPDATE YOUR FEED! Our tech guy has grandfathered-in the rss.xml and atom.xml links, so you can remain using the old feed.

Hey Everybody!
We interrupt our regular stream of obnoxious and ignorant quotes to let you know that we’ve added a new feature, RANDOM QUOTES! Don’t feel like digging for quotes? Just sit and click the RANDOM QUOTES button on the right, as many times as you want, to dig deep into the 3 month old (but ever expanding) OaM archives.

There are many gems from earlier months that some of our newer readers haven’t had the chance to see, so we hope this helps navigate in a non-chronologically biased way.

Keep up the great submissions!

And, for posterity’s sake, here’s something we overheard while finishing this feature in the Shatner lounge today:

Girl: (unsure, to friend) Is it, like, totally unreasonable not to want to swallow?

Welcome to OverheardAtMcGill! We’re still working on our site, but feel more than welcome to get the ball rolling and submit.

We hope to unroll the following features in the coming days:

• Quote Voting: Readers will be able to vote Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down on submissions, without having to change pages, and hopefully without opening a pop-up. Among other things, this will allow us to rank quotes.
• The T-Shirt Store: Readers will be able to order a t-shirt of any of the quotes they choose for $10 per shirt. Shirt sizes available in mens’ S, M, L and XL.

If you have any questions, complaints, recommendations, or would like to get involved with OverheardAtMcGill.com, feel free to e-mail us at info@overheardatmcgill.com .
