Overheard on the Net: Perceptions of Armenian Women
“Overheard on the Net” has been on a mysterious hiatus for some time, but don’t worry, it’s back, with more than enough virtual eavesdropping to keep you satisfied. I guess the Twitterverse got together these last few weeks and decided unanimously to direct their grievances towards Armenian women. Very odd. Shall we?
An Armenian woman just [...]
Overheard on the Net: Hookah, Shaved Heads and the Mafia
I was at the grocery store when a little old Armenian lady with one eye waggled a cucumber at me and made a smoochie face. #scarredforlife
This is a good one. Old Armenian ladies are scary on their own, what with their quick dolma wrapping fingers and sharp tongues - but cucumber and only one eye? [...]
Overheard on the Net: Mustaches, Glendale and Inclusivity
Before I get into this, just a friendly reminder that I am not making this stuff up. People write this. Seriously.
I get pissed off when Indian and Armenian women have mustaches that would make Chuck Norris jealous.

No Armenian Left Behind: Diaspora Gears Up For 2010 Census
Anahit Tovmasyan is on a mission. For a year and a half, the Census Partnership specialist has been rallying the Armenian community in Los Angeles and beyond to prepare for the 2010 Census.

Overheard on the Net: Flashy Cars, Music and Homosexuality
The local Armenian moms of the neighborhood are all congratulating a member on her Range Rover purchase…lmao, because the Mercedes didn’t cut it.
One of these days, when I have some free time on my hands, I plan to conduct some kind of semi-scientific study on why Armenians are so attracted to ridiculously expensive (and ugly, [...]

Love and marriage, or you know, just marriage, chest hair and gold chains - it isn’t being Armenian. Just check out a few of the thoughts overheard on the net below:

Mom’s neighbor just [...]
On Being Armenian: When Rules Don’t Apply
As any teenager can tell you, Chemistry is a dreaded yet inevitable course all students must eventually take. At my high school, junior year was when the memorization of the periodic table of elements took place. In the typical fashion of that kind of class, my antiquated teacher paired us up into lab partners, and [...]
Overheard on the Net: Unibrows, Ancient Armenian Men
I love the ancient Armenian men who sit and drink espresso all day and swear at each other.
You know, it is entertaining, until you see these men on every corner in Glendale, with their clouds of cigarette smoke that follow them everywhere they go. I prefer the grandpas in the parks who do something useful. [...]
Overheard on the Net: Princesses, Cab Drivers and Halloween
Why do all Armenian chicks try to dress like Kim Kardashian even when they weigh 300 lbs?
Armenian princesses get on my nerves. Shut up before I knock you out with your own UGGs and steal your daddy’s Benz.
I wish the question and comment above had a simple retort, but it doesn’t. Why do (many) Armenian [...]
Overheard on the Net: Hairy Chests, The Armenian Problem, Virgins
Let’s get right into these, shall we?
Why do armenian men never shave their fucking chests, but always manage to miss the top 5 buttons on their shirts? leaving a chest hair pie
Many, if not most Armenian men are hairy. Accept it. Learn it. Love it. Embrace it. There’s nothing wrong with being hairy if you’re [...]
