1) Learn to fold origami roses.
2) Go to a bar.
3) Ask beautiful woman at bar for one of the napkins on the other side of her.
4) Fold origami rose while she watches, slightly weirded out.
5) Present it to her.
6) ?Profit?

American 'sport'

Take excellent British sports and break them.

American Football - 80 minutes of rugby condensed to 60 minutes and then with pauses long enough for adverts that it goes on for 3 hours. Yawn.

Baseball. It's just not cricket.

American Football: dress bad rugby players up as cars and then have them crash into one another.

I had a classmate once who consistently only 'flirted' by telling penguin facts - or so he claimed anyway.
He insisted that it had in fact worked. Once.

But she was a bit cold in bed...

Well I didn't actually do that, so I don't know. But I have gotten a date after giving someone an origami rose - unclear if I would have gotten a date anyway though.

Actually, now that I think about it, I'm thinking that showing up with a lemon poundcake at the bar might be more successful than either of those. I mean, who doesn't love a nice slice of lemon poundcake offered to them in a bar by a complete stranger?

It worked for me with my husband. Except at an airport, not a bar.

If I were not married that may work on me. I'm an obsessive lemon head

Was his name Billy by any chance?

Well, that's different. Everyone knows that airport poundcake is guaranteed ruffie free thanks to airport security

It was not. I take it you've known one as well?

I mean, lemon poundcake is pretty awesome.

But she was a bit cold in bed...

And smelled of fish...?

I mean... It was the year after 9/11 so security was pretty tight.

Is that better or worse than elderberries?

 

[Erozetta]

It was not. I take it you've known one as well?

I am easily wooed by penguin and cephalopod facts.

I did in fact know and date one. (Her name was not Billy, lol.)

Did they make you take off your shoes when you showed up at the scanner with a slice of cake?

 

[cw5523729]

You dated a penguin?

 

[cw5523729]

Yes

Does talking about tentacle porn count?

 

[Z_TheWriter]

Depends on if it's an African or European Swallow.

 

[Erozetta]

You dated a penguin?

I still have a pebble she gave me.

 

[Z_TheWriter]

I still have a pebble she gave me.

I love that movie

I can't believe this thread just bypassed this:

Would have to see the rest to tell if she's shaved. I think that was important before.

As soon as she has kids, that kitty-cat will become one big afro.

 

[Erozetta]

Does talking about tentacle porn count?

Not unless it's accurate tentacle porn that takes in account the actual use of tentacles and their little intricacies. And the porn understands that nautilidae tentacles have an additional portion that extends from the sheath and that protrusion is ridged. They have over 90 of them.

It's getting afully coral in here.
