Overheard at SMX West

[Hunter]

All week people have been saying, "There's a quote for your Overheard post!" Granted, some have been a little scandalous, but this conference, like any other I've been to, has had plenty of memorable quotes. Without further ado:

"I work there because they pay really well." -- Tony Adam, talking about Paypal
"Do they deposit your money through Paypal?" -- Tamar Weinberg
"Oh, you look quite like your profile pic..." -- Jane, while looking at my driver's license photo
"Tell me you did NOT just call my license photo a 'profile pic.'" -- me
"Oh, God! I did, didn't I?" -- Jane, looking horrified
"You're mean. Alex Trebek is much nicer." -- a Search Bowl contestant to Danny Sullivan
[in an exasperated voice] "Yes, yes, I'm British. Apples and pears, apples and pears!" -- Rob Kerry
"Ugh, where's my tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny shirt that I can't fit into any more?" -- Jane, rummaging in her suitcase for her SEOmoz shirt that shrank when she washed it
"It's like having two canaries strapped to my feet." -- Jeff, in reference to if he were to have a pair of yellow Pumas like Rand's
"I'm collecting swag for Danny Sullivan. He's going to award a prize to the booth with the best swag." -- Tamar Weinberg
"Oh, cool. How are we doing?" -- DoubleClick guy
"I don't think you'll win." Tamar, looking at the DoubleClick pen the guy gave her
"Tamar!" -- Me and Lisa Barone, looking embarrassed
"Using Google is like using a public bathroom. No one really thinks about the repercussions or what goes on there." -- Andrew Sutherland, when the Generation Google panel was asked whether they think people are concerned with privacy issues when using the Internet
"Do you guys search for your name?" -- Danny Sullivan to the Google Generation panel
"When I search for my name, I always get results for Rand." -- Evan Fishkin
"Oh, oh, does Google return a 'Did you mean: Rand Fishkin' when you search for 'Evan Fishkin?'" -- me
"You're f*cked." -- Jeremy Schoemaker to Neil Patel after he smacked the top of Neil's beer with his, causing Neil's beer to overflow all over Neil's lap
"The bad thing about just staying up when you're drunk is that the little man sh*ts in your mouth while you're awake." -- Jay Young (no, I have no idea what that means)
"Bring your own cheese, that's all I have to say. The cheese is sh*t over there." -- Sarah, after Jeremiah Andrick said he may go to Shanghai, China
"If my battery dies, the last thing I want to do is stand in line at the Mac store with the filthy masses." -- Jeremiah, complaining about how the Macbook Air doesn't have a backup battery
"I have no idea what's going on right now." -- Matt McGee during a game of Werewolf
Per usual, share any others below (or, if I've forgotten any gems, let me know and I'll add them).
