The Origins

When I was in college, my roommates and I got tired of looking at the bare cinder block walls of our apartment.

So, we started writing down and hanging up all the cheesy pick-up lines we knew or had heard. Our friends and visitors contributed their own cheesy pick-up lines to the wall.

Pretty soon, our Pick-up Line Wall of Shame became something of a miniature tourist attraction in our apartment building.

As I was going through my quote file the other day—looking for something else entirely—I came across a rubber-banded bundle of paper that was the remains of the long-since dismantled wall of pick-up lines.

Because reading them made me laugh, I here present choice selections from the Pick-up Line Wall of Shame, circa 2003.

The Pickings

Is there an airport nearby or is that just my heart taking off?

I didn’t see any stars in the sky tonight; the most heavenly body was sitting right next to me.

Is your last name Campbell? Because you’re “Mm, mm, good!”

Has anyone ever told you that the configuration and juxtaposition of your features is extremely apposite? Furthermore, I love the way the light shines off your forehead.

Good evening. May a thorn sit down amongst the roses?

“Please, consider me an alternative to suicide.”

The Pickings

Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?

Your library books must be overdue because you’ve got FINE written all over you!

Do you sell maps? Because every time I look in your eyes I get lost.

Is your dad a baker? Because you’ve got some really hot buns.

I’m known as the professor of love, and school’s in session.

Can I take your picture? Because I want Santa to know exactly what I want for Christmas.

If you were a tear in my eye, I would not cry for fear of losing you.

Girl, you with all those curves and me without any brakes.

Do you have a bandaid? I scraped my knee falling for you!

Where have you been all my life?

Stand still so I can pick you up!

My lenses turn dark in the sunshine of your love.

Hello, I’m a thief, and I’m here to steal your heart.

Are you a broom? Because you just swept me off my feet!

Well, here I am. What were your other two wishes?

The Pickings

If good looks were a minute, baby, you’d be an hour.

Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?

It’s a good thing I’ve got my library card because I’m checking you out.

When I saw you from across the room, I fainted and hit my head. I’m going to need your name and number…for insurance reasons.

What’s that in your eye? Must just be a twinkle.
