Last night some friends had a party at their new loft in downtown Denver. It is gorgeous, and there were lots of fun people. We decided to go out to a 'trendy' bar called the Purple Martini afterwards. It was a bit pretentious, but a fun crowd. We had fun, and met all kinds of people. My sister and I were talking to these two guys, and I kid you not, I thought I was being Punk'd or on Candid Camera. One guy kept saying the slimiest lines I've ever heard, and sadly, thought it was cool! He was talking all hip hop, and saying things like "Hey Pretty Momma, why don't you give me your digits." and "Can you feel the love tonight?" (I resisted the urge to break into the Lion King theme song, figuring that might somehow be inappropriate.) I absolutely cannot be rude to someone and was being nice and friendly, but trying not to a. laugh outright at some of his proposals and b. lead him on. But come on...would this work on ANYONE? "I have a pretty righteous pad that you should come check out. It is sweet." <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> So lets hear your horror stories about pick up lines. I know you have some!

"Your parents must have been thieves...cause they stole the stars from the heavens, and placed them in your eyes." Melted, but too much of a line!

Ah, lines...

You might as well come home with me tonight. I'll have you whether you're there or not.

You're prettier than a speckled pup in a red wagon.

If I told you I loved your body, would you hold it against me?

...and any quotes of Austin Powers movies.

I have used this one humorously...to break the ice.
"Hey I lost my phone number.....can I have yours"?

I am not against amusing or witty lines. Give me a good verbal spar and I'm yours. But nothing I've heard lately is either amusing or witty. It makes for amusing reading on this post, though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I was out with a business client a while back --- and he saw a waitress he was particularly enamored <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> with --- tossed the menu on the floor asked her to step on it --- and said - he'd like to eat EVERYTHING on the menu....

I was GAGGING and the waitress PUKED!

There are just times when the use of "lines" should be FORBIDDEN....

When men use a line to catch my interest - they generally GET it --- the WRONG way.... UGH

I think all pick up lines are silly..

but one that really stands out in my memories is from one night I'd gone to a friends going away party--a man showed up about the same time I did and we walked in together..and he was like...

"Hey guys--Look who followed me home..can I keep her??"

In my wilder days, I'd say just about anything to anyone on a dare.

One night I walked up to a guy and said "I have to know your name." He said "It's _____... why?" and I leaned close and said "So I know whose name to scream out tonight" and turned and walked away.

I'm told that behind me, his jaw dropped about a foot.

It's been so long since I had a line used on me that I don't know if I would recognize it...probably would be too surprised to say anything.

Last time I was in a bar alone, the only one who spoke to me were the two bartenders and my 12-y-o daughter.

No, I didn't take her there. She was attending a Bar Mitzvah party in one of the banquet rooms and she and another girl got bored so they were wandering around and found a tv in the bar - at a hotel that can do kosher parties (no, we aren't Jewish but the Bar Mitzvah boy is) and they were watching the Titans play whoever they were playing. I sure am glad it was cappucino I was drinking and not something else.

There I sat with my makeup on, my hair done, and a cute halter dress and the only one who speaks to me is my daughter? What is with this world.

I guess I'm too old. Or too square.
