Attack of the iPod People (NYC Short Stories)
Guy #1: My iPod called me a homo this morning.

Man on cell: She gave him an iPod. Can you believe it? It's like, just not cool for a

guy an iPod. A guy can give a girl an iPod. But it shouldn't happen the other way around. It's just not right.
--81st & 2nd
Southern woman #1: We're going to 8th Avenue, right?
Queer: Uh.
Southern woman #1: To Bergduff Goodman's. I bet you would usually be listening to your iPod on the subway instead of talking to a group of pretty women.
Queer: I like, never go above 14th Street. I stay within a five block radius of my apartment.
Southern woman #2: I read about that store before. Maybe I'll buy some blang to go with my new bag. I can wear it tonight when we go to the production.
Southern woman #1: That pocketbook is just so you.
Queer: I feel like I'm looking into a sea of Prada.
--W train
Stewardess: The plane is about to land. Please everyone turn off your iPods.

Lady: It's New York. Even the people asking for money have iPods.
--United Airlines plane, LaGuardia
Overheard by: Chicago to New York
Guy #1: Man, you got one of those iPod nanos?
Guy #2: Man, I didn't pay for it. I'm a
player!
--Starbucks, 41st & Broadway
Hobo: Can you spare some change?
Guy: No, sorry, I just spend my last penny on this iPod nano.
