the pickup line does make it clear that's what the utterer is after, right?
Yup.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

sj, you have to take care of yourself, since your bosses clearly don't have any of your interests at heart. Not that they have to...but no need to be pricks about it.
Thank you, ita. This really helps.
I don't think anyone has ever used a pick up line on me.

In theory, it makes the pickupee think "Hey, that person's funny/cute! I should have sex with them!"
Wow. You have an interesting personality. I like to have sex with people with interesting personalities....

Unrelated to pickup lines, I seem to have inspired about half my office to eat oatmeal, judging by the oatmeal cannisters with people's names magic-markered on them sitting on the shelf in the kitchen.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Go you!
I'm sure there must have been SOME sort of line working on me, but in general they just make me laugh. And scoff.

All is well that ends in pizza.
This convo calls to mind a guy in college who made up business card for picking up women. It said "Lets get drunk and fuck like pigs."
I never asked whether it worked. I didn't want to know.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How do pigs fuck?
