The last time I used a pickup line I left the party with the roommate of the women who I eventually married. It's a long story.

Do pick-up lines ever actually work? Any better than just saying "hello", I mean.

No No I think I quite like it!
My favourite "pick up" lines are in a song by Henry Clay Work "Touch the Sleeping Strings" 1876 The singer comes upon a harpist who is idle at her instrument and proceeds to try to pick her up. The ends of the verses have the lines:

.... and something makes me think I knew you
    Beyond the sea of long ago.

....Did not we walk some shore together etc.

....Did not we sing this song together etc.

....Were not our spirits linked together etc.

Lovely!

There used to be a bottled sauce in Australlia called P-M-U (Pick Me Up) - for real!

This thought came from the Accoustic Guitar thread to do with pick ups. The word(s) pick-up, pickup, pick up has way far lots of meanings. The baser individuals amongst us will no doubt think of things they've said to the other or same sex (as the case might be), and yet others will think of an old Ford. Still others will think of things they've said to their electrified guitars or other instrument. Still others will think of what they said while cleaning up after a party. And maybe this is a really stupid thread.
