Oh, and yeah -

I finally got a pick-up line yesterday! After years of hearing about bad pick-up lines, waiting to get to hear one myself so I can run around laughing like a madwoman, it has happened. As Sam and I were on the T, heading back home, I asked him for a pen so I could write something down on my hand before I forgot it. I took the pen and started to write when some guy sitting across the aisle from us said, very loudly:

"Is that my phone number you are writing down after I telepathically sent it to you?"

...or are you happy to see me?

After I didn't respond but continued writing in my hand, suppressing laughter, he said, this time to himself: "Probably not the best way to start out a conversation, considering you're talking to a complete stranger..." That's when I almost laughed outloud. Then he continued talking to himself in - get this! - Russian. That just did it for me. He wasn't altogether there but he was funny. Too bad he didn't notice the fact that I was with my boyfriend. Could have saved himself.

BWAAAHAHAAAA!

Heh, at least it was a funny pick up line. What did Sam say? :D

I would be amused too. That was a hilarious line ... beats any line that has been thrown my way.

Bwahaha! That's great!

I've never gotten any really good pickup lines. The best was probably when I was walking down the street, hand in hand with two girlfriends, and this guy calls out of his car, "Are you holding hands for fun, or fun fun? Because I wanna get in on the fun..."

The telepathy thing beats all else, though. :D

Bwah. I wonder if there's ever been a pick-up line that's actually worked.

Thanks for the laugh. :)

haha...pick up lines provide for some interesting entertainment. Just yesterday I was proposed while walking downtown, "beautiful girl, will you marry me" isn't really a very likely pick up line but when the man in question is using a old gray sock puppet to pose the question....

Bwah! :D

*hums randomly*

Oh yeah, I remember what I was going to say now. I love you. :D

Sam waited till I was done writing on my hand and then showed me something in the book he was reading. Nothing terribly exciting. ;) And yes, it was hysterical. Rather original - I know I wouldn't have thought of it...

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

LOL, amusing as all hell. Creative!

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Heheh, FUN fun. ;) That reminded me of the time Moa and I were walking around Brighton (the day after we finished OotP) and randomly stood in the middle of the street hugging each other because we were almost in tears still at that point. After we started walking again, we saw there was a trio of guys heading our way with very goofy smiles on their faces. It amused us both. They really seemed to want to get in on the action.

Somewhere, at SOME point, I'm sure there has. But I don't envy the person that fell for it!

You're welcome, and btw - email forthcoming, I promise! (Meanwhile, get AIM, dude!)

Priceless. A sock puppet proposed to you. In fact, that reminds me of someone I used to know, whose alter-ego was a sock puppet, and for a moment, I wondered if that had been him. But his sock puppet was green and smoking a cigarette, so...

*beams*

I miss you!

*hugs not so randomly*

You know, I've heard that about Latin men. What is it, something in the water? Sheesh, man. He really WAS rather harmless. And as for the Russian thing, Sam thinks that the guy could tell I was Russian, too, and that's why he said something to me. But A) he said it in English, and B) I don't think he could tell that HE was Russian, so I'm not counting on it. Heh. He was funny, though. I liked him.

All that right back at ya! :D

It is wrong that I find that ridiculously cute?

*sigh* Love you. I'm really really sorry that I worried you-- did you get my email?

Miss you, too.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

I did! My question to you - can you send me your number? :D I'm so glad you're ok - and I'm also very glad I was able to cheer you up. We need to talk, yo. You know?

*MWAAAAH* love you!

That reminded me so much of Truely Madly Deeply. Are you sure your not Juliet Stevenson?

Bwaha. Hahah. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Ok, done. Sorry. That was really funny. :D

[othergoose.livejournal.com]

Hah! That's hilarious.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), no one's never used a pick-up line on me. Or if they did, I'm just that oblivious. Though, once when my quartet was playing at a function, one of the waiters flirted incessantly with us. "Is that Beethoven? Oh, Handel. I think I can..Handel that *wink*" Ugh. Je suis innocente!

My friend has a habit of attracting very undesirable older men. I wish I could witness it one day. I think the most recent one was a one-legged man who said that he had just gotten out of jail. Unfortunately for that little man, she had a boyfriend, and, well, wasn't that into men twice her age.
