Pickup Lines- poetry for the masses

Post by **Dale** » Sun Sep 26, 2004 9:50 am

I was at a party when I was in graduate school and a few of us were sitting around trying to think of the lousiest opening pick-up lines we could imagine. The girls couldn't decide between:

"Excuse me. Look, I promise I won't hurt you...."

and

"Please don't scream."

I agree....although I prefer an Irish accent. My husbannd already knows if some good looking Irish lad comes and asks me to go away with him, I just won't be anble to say no
Oh, and that was a good movie...although it was a chick flick

Top of the Mornin' to ye Izzy!

Those pick-up lines are so funny that I have trouble believing that any guy with a serious objective has ever used one unless, of course, his objective were to incapacitate her with laughter. The list reads like a compilation of pick-up lines contrived by comedians. Regardless, they are hilarious.

I'd like to hear English translations of outrageous pickup lines from other countries.

Does anyone else here remember Spike Lee's She's Gotta Have It?

I actually witnessed this exchange in England a few years ago. A young woman who had it and knew it was strutting down the High Street and a guy was struggling to catch up. As he got close he called out something like, 'Hey babe.' As she turned around he said gushing 'How do you do.' 'I do pretty well' she replied, then looking him up and down she continued slowly 'Sometimes I do better than others.' Then she turned around and continued strutting.

Yep...I'm that elderly

Great grins, that film.... to Mr. Lee's credit, it makes males squirm (and, one hopes, perhaps think a bit). Innovative in many ways. Pretty darn sexy, too.

BTW, the sepia is elegant, but a tad...gloomy?

Gloomy? Oh, I shouldn't think so. No, not gloomy. Rather, I like to consider it utterly despondent.

Thus come we full circle...back to the Slough of Despond. Perhaps you've been attending too many meetings? Or is it just Weltschmertz?

Seen on a tee shirt:

"If I told you you have a great body, would you hold it against me?"

Best wishes,
