FAMOUS LINES FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Not, I hope, famous, but right up there on the list of most obnoxious:
|
||
"So, how long have you been on *this* merry-go-round?"
|
||
|
||
|
||
While at the Summer Nationals held at Englishtown last summer, I
|
||
had this one pulled on me:
|
||
"Do you have a light?"
|
||
(as in matches or a cigarette lighter)...
|
||
although he should have made sure he didn't have a pack of matches
|
||
stuck in the cellophane of his cigarette pack...that made it a bit
|
||
obvious. I must admit, he was the nicest "pickup" I have ever met, and we are
|
||
meeting again this year at Englishtown (same place...next year?)
|
||
|
||
|
||
After going to the trouble of thinking up an original opening line,
|
||
the most common responses are:
|
||
|
||
"Do you come here often?"
|
||
and
|
||
"Where do you live?"
|
||
|
||
|
||
My favorite "famous line" is one that appeared in this very newsgroup some
|
||
months ago:
|
||
|
||
"I'd really like to lick apricot brandy out of your navel."
|
||
|
||
Other opening lines that I have heard recently (that are famous or
|
||
near-famous):
|
||
|
||
"Hi. I'm Big Brother. I've been watching you..."
|
||
"Where have you been all my life?"
|
||
|
||
And one that I used recently, as I was standing next to a woman looking out
|
||
the window at Rochester's first snowstorm:
|
||
|
||
"Would you like to join me in the Bahamas next week?"
|
||
|
||
My only defense is that it was said in a way that made it clear that I wasn't
|
||
serious and that seemed like the thing to say at the time... (She said yes,
|
||
by the way).
|
||
|
||
|
||
"Would you like to see my Congressional Medal of Honor?"
|
||
...then, after fumbling with finding it,
|
||
"Oops! I must have left it at home."
|
||
|
||
|
||
This can only be used in certain situations, but it worked on me:
|
||
"You shouldn't run around looking like that or one of us sex-starved
|
||
young men might attack you." This was said with a grin. I was
|
||
wearing a halter top with a blouse open over it and jeans. He didn't
|
||
attack, but we ate dinner together and were good friends through college.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Think you can dance in those shoes?
|
||
(Nice, macho line. Works best on mean women you've seen once or twice
|
||
before, instead of "Have I seen you somewhere?")
|
||
|
||
Ok, you can stand next to me, as long as you don't talk about the heat!
|
||
(From "Body Heat". Perfect if you've obviously gone waaay out of your
|
||
way to talk to a woman standing somewhere else.)
|
||
|
||
Did you have a color television when you were a kid?
|
||
(Flesh this out with the old "settle an argument" trick, ask her
|
||
what color Fred Flintstone's dog Dino is. This has *never failed*
|
||
to generate further conversation.)
|
||
|
||
You're "no parking", aren't you?
|
||
(Another two-parter. Explain that you're trying to guess her sign.
|
||
This is so stupid that it's almost bulletproof in the right kind of
|
||
bars.)
|
||
|
||
Excuse me, I don't want you to think I'm ridiculous or anything, but
|
||
you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I just felt
|
||
like I had to tell you.
|
||
(Then walk away!! Casual sincerity is crucial. Next time you walk
|
||
by, you can go for something mundane: "What's your name, occupation,
|
||
have you lived in fooville long, etc". This works best on well-scrubbed
|
||
ex-cheerleader types.)
|
||
|
||
The cutest one I've ever gotten (from my current girlfriend) was after our
|
||
first date. She got up and turned off the light, and then said,
|
||
|
||
"Why don't you surprise your roommate and not come home tonight?"
|
||
|
||
One that I'm stealing from "Red Bricks", an op-ed comic strip formerly seen
|
||
at Purdue, is:
|
||
|
||
"What's your blood type?"
|
||
|
||
"I'm into semiology. What's your sign?"
|
||
|
||
My favorite lines:
|
||
|
||
In the produce department, "How can you tell if these things are ripe?"
|
||
|
||
At the laudromat, "How much bleach should I put in with my good suit?"
|
||
|
||
"You don't sweat much for a fat girl."
|
||
|
||
"Hey, doll, is this guy boring you? Try me instead! I'm from a different
|
||
planet!"
|
||
-Zaphod Beeblebrox, Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
|
||
|
||
Once, I was in
|
||
a coffee shop and while the waitress was pouring my cup of coffee
|
||
she said, "Say when." Response: "As soon as I finish this coffee."
|
||
All it got me was a nasty look.
|
||
|
||
I liked the pick up lines used in the movie Gregory's Girl:
|
||
|
||
"You know when you sneeze, it comes out of your nose at a hundred miles per
|
||
hour. Choo! just like that."
|
||
and,
|
||
"D'ya know how they make veal? They hang babay calves upsode down and slit
|
||
them from top to bottom and let the blood drip out."
|
||
|
||
Needless to say, both were useless.
|
||
|
||
We musn't forget the one used by Les Nessman in WKRP:
|
||
"Hi, I'm incredibly rich."
|
||
|
||
Well, ok, I'll tell a story on myself. I once had a lover confide to me
|
||
that she had had many men tell her that she had a beautiful smile, but that
|
||
I was the first to tell her she had a "terrific grin". I guess it worked!
|
||
|
||
|
||
overheard in a rural bar:
|
||
"Hey, I know you! You were Miss Ohio last year, weren't you?"
|
||
|
||
overheard on a NYC street:
|
||
"Wow, I like your jeans. Did you design them yourself?"
|
||
|
||
|
||
"What a lovely dog! Does it have a phone?"
|
||
|
||
|
||
The next one maybe doesn't qualify, except as a counterexample. College
|
||
cafeteria, enormeously long tables with benches for seating 40 on each
|
||
side. Girl alone at one end of bench, no one else sitting at either side of
|
||
the table. Prospective picker upper(?) approches, carrying tray with lunch.
|
||
-"Excuse me, is this seat free?"
|
||
Girl looks slowly over him, from head to toe, waits till he's almost ready to
|
||
put tray down.
|
||
-"No."
|
||
Girl lowers her eyes back into book.
|
||
|
||
|
||
"Lie down; I think I love you."
|
||
|
||
|
||
"Want to go to my place for some data? 1600 BPI -- the good stuff!"
|
||
|
||
|
||
Gee, you look like my sister
|
||
|
||
|
||
For example, if you are italian, you would say:
|
||
|
||
|
||
Want a little italian in you?
|
||
|
||
|
||
Holds true for whatever ethnic group you belong to.
|
||
|
||
|
||
'Course there's always "Your face or mine?"
|
||
|
||
|
||
What's a nice girl like you doing on a face like this?

||
public place.
