Re #95:  If I were, I would have whined at you to cut it out, like jaklumen
         is doing now.

Re #97:  You're whining now.  Stuff it.

if Bush were the lt man on earth i would never use a pick up line on him and
i'm sure he doesn't have the intelligence to use one on me so the human race
would be screwed.

But you have to admit, talking about Ralph Nader's suit and how dumb 
Bush is could be a good pickup line if one wants to pick up a person 
with a certain political philosophy.

I mean, sometimes the point of a pickup line isnt to score at any cost 
but to weed out people. right?

Slynne's got a point.

Besides, that's a little vehement for a couple of comments.  I know 
Republicans who can't stand him, so annoyance with Bush is certainly 
not party-specific.  And just deal with the drift by getting the item 
back on topic if you're that pissy about it.  Besides . . . how can you 
interpret that as whining?  Jeez . . . And if I want to bitch, I voted, 
so it's my bloody right.

I voted too, so I get to rant about how people who embrace party-line politics
are actually idiots without realizing it. ;)

Political correctness will apparently *never* apply in the actual 
political arena.  Ethnic/racial slurs are bad, but "bleeding-heart 
liberal" and "warmongering conservative" (couldn't think of a real 
standard there, actually) will always remain.

I voted too, Independent and moderate in fact, so I can still exercise 
*my* bloody right to bitch about how stupid it is when one side will 
rub the other's nose in the dirt when their boy's in office.  It 
happened when Clinton was prez, and don't tell me it didn't.

        Damn, this topic was so much more interesting when it was about
relationships, than now, where it's about politics.

        Have you ever noticed that it's almost impossible to observe someone
else actually doing the difficult work of initiating a conversation and
starting a relationship with someone?  Even on a friendly basis.

        I swear I can but out food for the birds and later can see 
them up on the wire or a tree, in group all looking down.  Each
knowing that it is food, but they each want to wait until the 
others don't think it's food.  Eventually, one breaks to get
their snack, only to be followed by the flock.
        I swear that I can be in an introduction situation, go 
over to introduce myself, soon followed by someone else latching
onto the conversation.  They have years of skill beyond me, so 
they quickly take over the situation.

I *try* to make my goal the presentation of good conversation for teh benefit
of the other party.  Obviously, sometimes this works better than others,
depending upon my involvement.  I wind up having more satisfying
conversations, though.

Best pickup lines are actually not lines.

Babysit for someone and take the baby on campus.  You will be swamped with
young ladies.  Do the same with a puppy.  Works wonders.

response 112 of 124: Mark Unseen   May 24 05:51 UTC 2002

resp:111 The baby or the puppy is the icebreaker.

resp:110 well, yes, it's human nature to want to talk about ourselves, 
so if you initate the conversation, it's generally conducive to pick a 
topic about *them*.

resp:109 Well, you were the icebreaker.  Selfish, but that's also 
human nature sometimes.

"Hi, would you mind if i bought you a drink?"
 - generic

"Hi, what's a mole?"
 - fishing for the chemically literate

"Hi, what to you think of the Republic?"
 - poly sci majors or philosophers or Star Wars fans or ???

Re #109: I think sometimes the birds are waiting to see if it's safe.  Once
one has started to feed and hasn't been attacked, the rest will follow.

You can draw your own analogies to dating. ;)

Moles have soft fur, live where the enemy least expects, have a lovely
chocolate yet not sweet taste while not being too runny, and there are
10**23 of them in every unit of substance.  Some people use them to
protect beaches, and many people have them removed as cosmetic
blemishes.

response 117 of 124: Mark Unseen   May 24 21:20 UTC 2002

That pretty much covers it....except that 10**23 is wrong. There are
6.023etc**23 "units" in a mole.

Avagadros can be used to make guacamole, which is another kind of mole.

Jan . . . remind me never to try your guacamole.

Re: #108 . . . It gets painful after a while, like pulling teeth.  
Eventually you just want to bash their heads together, especially if 
they're sitting there, saying nothing.  Hey, if you do bash their heads 
together, perhaps they'll finally discover they've got something to 
talk about en route to emergency.
