Overheard #3: GI Editors Still Say The Darndest Things

The Overheard blog captures some of the hilarious/unusual things said around the Game Informer office brought to you by the GI staff. Here is Overheard #1 and #2 in case you missed them. Now that you've caught up, check out this week's Game Informer quotables.

"We're gonna run out of time because we're watching turtles dance."

[Dan makes this realization while playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii. with Annette.]

“It’s like listening to a voice message from your dead grandmother.”

[Tim makes an unusual simile.]

"First you break my space bar, now if you pop my moose I’m gonna kick your a**!"

[Dan threatens Tim over the inflatable moose head he proudly displays over his desk.]

“Stop making up imaginary baskets of fries to make up for your lack of manhood.”

[Joe disses Dan in elevator.]

“Ugh…it’s nothing but airplanes and gypsies.”

[Dan commenting on Google Image Search results after searching “Alaska horizon” on Tim’s recommendation.]

Nick to Jeff C: If you die, can I have your LEGOs?
Jeff C: No.
Ben: Can I have your kids?
Jeff C: [Without the slightest bit of hesitation] Yes.

[Jeff Cork flew a plane last week. This conversation happened the day before.]

“So Dan died.”

[Tim casually says this while Meagan, Jeff and Dan are at flight lessons.]

“Ack, I lost the bet.”

[Tim says this after Meagan, Jeff and Dan show up to the office safe and sound after flight lessons.]

Reiner to Tim: Is that a sandwich in your pocket?
Tim: [Tries to change subject.]
Reiner: Let’s go back to you putting your sandwich in your back pocket…
Tim: …What?
Jeff M: You’re going to eat food you rubbed on your a**?
Tim: That’s not…[in regard to carrying keys in pocket] you don’t say you rubbed your keys on your thighs.
Jeff M: I don’t eat my keys, Tim.
Tim: [Silently acknowledging the point.]
Jeff M: I don’t put them in my mouth.
Tim: I get it.
