[hijack]God almighty, that is the thread that has disturbed and plagued me most in my time here on the Dope. When it was active, it just would NOT fall off the front page. Yes, it was my own fault for reading it when it clearly advertised “TM Figgin’ I”…but who can resist a call like that? There are certain things which, once learned, cannot be unlearned.
Anyhow, thanks for refreshing my memory. [/hijack]
I patiently waited for what seemed like a year for “TM Friggin’ I” to vanish from the boards so as never to bother me again, because I didn’t want to know!
You must really have a hardon for Scottie on Mythbusters. She can weld rings around most guys I know. I don’t know for sure, but I bet she can fix cars (and motorcycles.)
Aaaahhhh dude cmon, pineapple wedges? You might as well paint “i’m a nice guy, let’s just be friends” on your forehead.
What you should have done is been yourself, but put a little arrogant/cocky spin onto it. If you wanna catch a fish, you gotta go fishing is what I always say. So, you walk into the garage with some nice clothes, collared shit and jeans if you’re preppy, or a nice punk ensemble if you’re that kind of person. Anyway, you walk up beside her and just chill there for a bit and check out the car. When you have her attention, make a slightly-rude joke about something. Like, touch the battery and be like “wow this thing is hot, almost as much as something else in this room” Judge her reaction and go from there.
That approach can strike out too, but it’s way more likely to get action than freakin pineapple wedges. The only way fruit would work is if your wingman knew she loved pineapples and you got them especially for her. That might have transcended the nice-threshold and resulted in “supersweet guy” points.
“Supersweet guy” points are dangerous this early in the game, Autolycus. I’ve definitely lost “fish”, as you say, by being too sweet early on. OTOH, if you and your wingman agree to pretend you didn’t know about her undying love for pineapple wedges, it’d be a great opportunity for a “we’re-so-alike” moment.
That said, “pineapple wedges” could be a euphemism for all we know.
I’d recommend instead of wedges, cut the pineapple into rings, slide 'em on your scwanz, walk out to garage and ask, “Care for a refreshing snack? Or maybe some pineapple?”
