It could be worse.
Junkies could love smacking you.

I just re-read this thread and it's hilarious.

I have used one chat up line in my life. I went to see acid mothers temple play and they were rubbish so me and my friend Neil got spanked on Long Island Iced Tea and by the end I was carrying him around like a monkey with some other guy. When I looked up the other guy was wearing a wizards hat and a yellow dungaree/shorts outfit. It was Julian Cope.
Anyway, it was pretty weird.

As we were about to leave I decided, partly out of a bet, to approach a young lady.
I did so and the only thing I could think of to say was
"I am sorry I am so drunk"
she replied
"You're drunk?"
to which I replied
"Yeah!! I'd never talk to someone like you if I weren't"

which was supposed to be a compliment but now I see it might not have been quite so clear cut.

I was with her for 3 years. There's a lot to be said for a little (dutch) courage.

and, to go back on a previous message, if anyone ever got laid by owning a Travis Bean then my old band would've been knee deep in 'action'. I can assure you, we weren't. Ditto for Dave Stockwell of Nottingham.

sometimes, just sometimes, my natural charm and good looks are all i need to impress the ladies.

other times, a lot of alcohol (also supplied to the other person) goes a long way to help too

can't say my Bean has brought me any 'luck' either

I had a bizarre spell of shagging people after telling them I'd got an STI. How the fuck does that work?

friend's of mine real life pick up line "so i heard you threw up big time last time you were here". didn't score.

Somehow, and it was quite unintentional (conciously), I ended up with someone for four years after this little exchange:

Me: So what's you Chinese horoscope?
Her: I'm a snake. What are you?
Me: I'm a rat.
Her: Right.
Me. Snakes eat rats, don't they?

Am I the only one who just gets really drunk and says bashfully, "Errr, I think you're really cute, errr" and then closes his eyes and hopes for a kiss and not a sneer or a slap? You guys all have way too much technique.
