Negative on the pickpocketing. We sat facing them the entire time. Since I’ve posted this, I’ve actually become a bit angry about this. What would those girls have said if Dave and I came up and said, “We’d like to see you two lick each other’s tonsils.” They’d have slapped the shit out of us and had a bouncer feed us our teeth. It’s just damn rude. That’s all there is to it. * * * Then he said, “That is that.” And then he was gone. -Dr. Seuss, \* The Cat in the Hat\* ---

**Flypsyde** , in fairness to the ladies: guys are all the time talking about how sexy it is to watch 2 gals go at it (I agree, though I don’t talk crudely in public about it)…maybe they were just getting equal time. To be honest, my best friend and I might have done a quick smooch just to get their reaction! ---

I was talking to shitboy on the phone shortly after we started dating, and one of his buddies asked in the background :Hey can she suck a golf ball through a garden hose? Shitboy wouldnt repeat it, but I had heard his question, to which i calmly replied…"No, a _football_. I was a legend in the halfway house (for cons getting back into society…but hey! Thats another whole thread) I picked up “B” this way: I saw him around, like the way he walked (again another thread) so I invited him over ( he is my best friends uncle, so I sorta knew him) We talked and flirted for a couple of hours, and I stood up and said:“Its late, and I’m going to bed. Are you coming in, or going home?” He came in. ---

FLYP… I’m a little worried about you. On another thread you are concerned that someone wants you to feel her breasts… and here you are offended by some girls wanting to pick you up. Don’t you think this was possibly a prelude to your expected response of “No thanks, but we wouldn’t mind seeing you two kiss” or “No thanks, but I’d be happy to let you watch me kiss you anywhere you would like” or… well I’ll let you fill in the blanks. I agree with TennHippie that these are the 90’s (almost the 00’s) and the gals do just as lame of a job in trying pick up lines as we do. By the way… if I ever find myself single again… can you share the name of your hangouts with me? ---

I guess I will confess, YEARS AGO, I met a guy who was 6 foot 7, I am 5 foot 2, but I like my men tall. After about 2 months of seeing and talking to him every week-end ,I walked up to him and asked if I could climb him like a tree. No I will let you guess what happened, guess. So men don’t have the corner on the market when it comes to having one too many, and leting their mouths run . * * * Ayesha - Lioness * * * There are two solutions to every problem : the wrong one, and mine (Thomas A.

My worst line was when I was in Missouri with Stone Temple Pilots doing an interview several years back. I approached girls and sais, “Hey, I’m not from here. I hear that Missouri is ‘The Show Me’ state. Go ahead…” Needless to say, all Missouri parents were able to rest tight knowing I didn’t do a damn thing with their daughters! * * * Yer pal, Satan ---

Okay, not as mad anymore, but _fuck_. That was a terrible line. TenHip, while I’ll agree hot girl-on-girl action trips my trigger as well, there’s no way in Hell’s half-acre I’d ever say it to someone I didn’t know, let alone use it as a pick up line. And there’s no way any girl trying to pick me up in a bar is worth kissing my friend for. But Spud, just come on in to Springfield any time, buddy. Oh, and I wasn’t really _complaining_ about the fake breasts, just curious about the sudden exhibitionism. * * * Then he said, “That is that.” And then he was gone. -Dr. Seuss, \* The Cat in the Hat\* ---

Does this have to be pick-up lines we’ve actually used? No? Okay then: “If I was in charge of the alphabet, I’d put ‘U’ next to ‘I’…” “Are you tired? Because you’ve been running through my mind since I got here…” ## (said by a gay man to a woman) “Honey, you make me wish I’d been born a lesbian.” ----side note: I once made the aforementioned gay man spray beer all over the bar by commenting to the bartender that the difference between us was that I liked to undress women mentally, and he mentally put them into a whole different outfit.
