pull v : pick up, chat up, “he’s going to pull a girl at the party”, “going on the pull”, also to snog.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

[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.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Pulled -- it used to mean 'succeeded in an attempt to seduce'. Ish. Now, for the younger generation, it means kissing. For example "I pulled three different blokes last night." I use that example because a thirteen year old on the bus yesterday was saying it to a friend of hers.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Thus one goes out "on the pull". I think it pretty much works in place of "scoring", if I understand the American parlance?

Or we also used to call it "sharking" when I was at Uni, which I always thought was a rather apt image. Don't know that that's in common usage, though.

Always Anti-fascist!
My favorite twist on the pick-up line was in Homicide...Stan Bolander meets the Aussie medical examiner and says "What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?" And she pauses over a dead guy and says "Looking for Mr. Right."

I am back from lunch with Sail and brenda. Sadly, my digital camera battery would not take a charge, so I have no pictures. Brenda took some with her camera phone, but dunno if she has a way of hosting them.
Not from yesterday, but what the hell.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Arrrrgggh
Hee!
It occured to me today that I could have simulated a hook with a fork.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I feel like I should accomplish something today since I am not at work. Should I clean out my closets or read a book?

Now tagless for your comfort.
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.
We had oatmeal this morning. With sliced bananas! Go Team Oatmeal!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Read, sj. The closets will wait.
