"hi, wanna dance?"

Re: From that Donna's song...
 

I would probably mumble out something like, "Umm... Ok," or maybe even go into shock seeing as it would only be the 2nd time a girl asked me to dance, and the first time was when I had stiches in my leg and I had to pass.....

Stupid long-time healing process on the human body!!!

yes, yes, that one is a good one

Re: From that Donna's song...
 

That's a very cool song.

I enjoy that entire cd, actually.

This guy went around taking picture of girls and claims to be "looking at the robots"...what a liar ;)

Girl point of view
 

at a local school, you start in your freshman year. I know tis is so, because many people want to attend it.

Cory

At South Fork, the first two years are the Pre-IB program...this is to eliminate the people who won't do it (they chose not to) and tries to remove those/discourage those who won't make it.

I need more ap classes, Im bored... They wouldn't let me in any more AP due to my bad performance frosh/soph year. Come on, I only have 3 AP + 2 College + H Physics.

Counting only my AP class cumulative gpa, I think it's around 4.83333.

Counting my standard classes it's about 3.0, or less.

I do a lot better in AP classes for some reason.

dude.....
 

All a guy really needs to do (girls too), is find an excuse to start a conversation with a girl they like. Get talking, and keep talking, and maybe if you're lucky the girl will also find an excuse to talk to you.

That works.....always...the excuse part...not exactly. All you need to do is start a conversation and have more of them....for some of them...no excuses are needed just say you need to talk to someone....no questions asked....you don't need to say who. people eventually catch on though. Phone call, e-mails, and letters work too..... ;) I know....but Pamela and I aren't dating as of now...or maybe we never will....but hey we're friend for life.

He's Right
 

After careful consideration, I decided to take a PM alittle farther and I'm him. His PM gave me a reason to IM him and he found some kinda crazy subject to PM me about. We're both shy people and it's working for us!! I've been enjoying our conversations!! :yikes:

See if you can spot the pick-up line!

HarryRocks69: i juust have more experience saying/hearing it than writing it
LuVbUg1082: i have more writing
LuVbUg1082: together we could be a great french speaking and writing person
HarryRocks69: We should practice our french skills sometime...
LuVbUg1082: wow nice pick-up line
HarryRocks69: lol, i thought so :-P
LuVbUg1082: ::silly grin::
LuVbUg1082: post that one on CD

25 points to whoever finds it!

lol

There's something in 10 Things I Hate About You ... using french as an excuse to go out and eat. ;) I love that movie ... haven't seen it in ages, though. :(

- Katie

Yeah, its a very good movie. The best is when he hires the marching band, sings across the stadium "I love you baby...." (some of the lyrics), gets detention, and one of the soccer girls (I think it was his girlfriend) flashes the teacher while he sneaks out the window.

I've never used a pickup line...I tend to loose control of my brain and suddenly it's like ".... uuhhhh..hi.... ::she's gone now:: Wow...I had a whole thing planned out in my head...."

Anyone guessed it yet? Yup, I've never had a g/f, lol

But anyways, there was a list of pickup lines that were totally obscene that I would NEVER think about using, but just pretty funny to picture someone's reaction to them...something about an iceberg and nice shoes...if you've seen the list, you know what im talkin about...Its really NOT right...

Oh, thats a pickup line? I get that a lot then and I never notice it. :(

Ah Shakespeare
his tragedies are as good as his comedies.. even modernized

I hate french..but my school only teaches that. I wanna learn Chinese, or Japanese.

You can't say Chinese...what dialect?

I know Cantonese and Twaisanese (not to sure about it being spelled in English, forgot the little Maderin I know). The worst is when you mix up the dialects...I get my point across to who I'm talking to but I'm not fluent nor am I literate in any of these dialects.

I've learned 5 languages because the dialect themselves are languages all to themselves.

1) Catonese
2) Twaisanese
3) English
4) Mandarin (like I said don't remember it)
5) Spanish for IB tests

(1 and 2 are interchangable because I learned them both at the same time, none of my grandparents but one speaks English and you can forget my great-grandparents too).

At My School.........
 

Our school offers French and Spanish. That's it...and quite pathetic.

Yes, you can say chinese, because when you do, it refers to mandarin the same way the square root of 9 refers to 3, not negative 3.
Taiwanese speak mandarin anyways.

its not Twainese. Its a set of different dialects as my family comes from mainly southern China but each family group speaks primarily Twaisanese and Cantonese dialects. And yes these are Chinese....juust like in Spanish there's Castilian Spanish, Puerto Rican Spanish, etc... Manadrin I believe is from the North, being from the South, we don't like the North (if you look at Chinese History, the South is where thetrouble starts for the most part). Furthermore, its a regional thing...each region...different dialect. Now the writing is the same (well there is a difference between the PRC's characters and prior to PRC characters as the People's Republic of China to help combat illiteracy simplief writing) but the dictions, phonics, etc... is different so they are languages all to themselves.

They are not that different. If you speak Mandarin to someone who speaks any dialect (not cantonese) you will understand each other. Everyone speaks Mandarin, just different dialects of it.

Actually, not exactly, because some dialects may be like cantonese where it will be very difficult and hard to understand each other. It's sorta like trying to use cognates to find out what they're saying in spanish

Re: At My School.........
 

My school has:
1. English (duh)
2. French
3. Latin
4. German
5. Spanish

Thank you! Some dialects have differents tones, dictions,the only thing that is the same is how you right the characters. Fish in Mandarin and Cantonese is two differen sounds altogether (don't remember what the madrin one is as I never use it). Some one who knows Cantonese will not understand what the person who is speaking in Madarin, or even Twainsanese. Youhave to remember before Emperor Chin unified the country in XXXX B.C., it was seperate states, each with their own dialect and different writing style. Only the educated knew more than one dialect, that of their region and the court (government official). Chin standardized writing and the court dialect was of his region. The common peasants only needed to know regulations, tazes, etc... therefore the educated.....member of the court and bueacracy need to know multiple dialects to conduct business. These dialects survived as there was no educating the peasants, only the wealthy could afford it. In fact even today in Chinatown, its Cantonese, Twainsanese, not necessarily Mandirin in some places.


But what does this all have to do with the topic of the thread....my point is....I can swear and insult people with very few people who know what in the world I just said. It also comes in handy when I visit my family....a) I look better as I can actually say stuff and hold a conversation.... b) I can get stuff (order stuff like food but I'm not allowed to as I am not fluent)...c) out of all my cousins...I understand the most! When someone who doesn't understand it is around, knowing the another language helps in doing stuff that you don't want them to know. Actually, Pamela (she's on 179, not 180), my best friend, finds it interesting and impressive that I know other languages.

Oh wow! I just remembered...it seems like it's been ages. In my 8th grade Spanish I class we each wrote two or three pickup lines. That was so great!

I'm going to make one up right now.

;)

Me das fiebre. Por favor, viene a casa conmigo.

;)

Its better (and cleaner) than the ones I've heard.

Re: Re: At My School.........
 

My school only has Spanish. And it's not the spanish from Mexico, it's the spanish from Spain.

Re: Re: Re: At My School.........
 

Our school teaches crap really. Odd how you got 2 types of spanish, and it's the same name

I'd say it's more like spanish and portugese. Not very difficult. My second uncle speaks beihe, my grandparents speak shaanxi. Not a problem. Sometimes different dialects use different words more frequently, but besides that, it's not too hard to understand.

I've been told that it's easier for non-native speakers whose pronunciation is terrible in the first place.

BTW, I beleive the correct names for the spanishes are american and castillian, not "from mexico" and "from spain."

There are like....5 dialects of Spanish in Spain itself, ¿no?

Topic..Topic, here boy!
 

lol, this thread has become what language do you speak? hahaha, guess we ran outta pickup lines..lol, it only took, what..16 pages...lol

Oh, and add to the tangent we've gone off on


Our school's got:
1.) English =I take
2.) Spanish
3.) French
4.) German =I take
5.) American Sign Language

I don't mean to be the one to get back on topic.....but:

Can I press your buttons?;)

Metaphorically? Or literaly?

Are you actualy wearing some buttons?

......either way, yeah, thats lame....

Wow, that's a new one :). Let's start saying pickup lines in other languages

auf Deutsch:

Lassen sie uns die nacht zusammen verbringen.

...I think that's right...

Fiebre? Repeten en ingles por favor, porque estoy in espanol II.

And how do you get those upside-down ? on this site

Hola, Como sava, Spanish, French.(Hello, how are you?)

Try coming up with a pick-up that uses two or more languages in one sentance.

If the part after the comma is supposed to be French, it's spelled "comment ca va?" (with a cedille under the c)
I remeber there was a song from moulin rouge that had a rather direct French line in it.

Why don't we all just start singing the lyrics to Moulin Rouge? :p That way we get cultural, get the messagee across and everyone knows what it means! lol, hey! anyone feel like talking to a fellow FIRST enthusiast? IM Me @ BaByKeLC I love talking to new people, especially who have the same interests as me!

TTYL
:)

:ahh: you guys really went over on this one:

use the line from ebonics language lessons (by chris rock)

... i forgot the line ...

but i remember it was really funny

The song is Lady Marmalade, and the line is:

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?

("Will you sleep with me tonight?")

my mistake harrison, i figured that out after I had posted it buy you got wa I was saying right?:) Anyway, how is everyone tonight?

You seem to know that line all too well...


...I dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing...
::shrugs::

Oh, and I'm doing fine tonight, und du? (heh, auf deutsch! ;) )




Heh, I've somehow responded to three posts all in one....

Knowledge is power.

(but I'm not powerful....so...hmmmm......)

lol.. I could make a standard american "candian" joke outta that..but I'll refrain myself...lol


But yeah..knowledge is power till your killed for knowing too much.

It's spelt Canadian.

I could also make some jokes, but I will also refrain......lol :rolleyes:

well if were getting into spelling eroors, its not "spelt" its "spelled" hehe Sorry, someones gotta do it! Love you guys!:)

oh and by the way, errors is misspelled on purpose...maybe :D lol

Actually "spelt" is correct.

Run it through WinWord, the dictionary will be happy.

Oh sorry, I can't spell...(something about being in the same county that cant use a voting system...) :D

Yeah! Winword's the best for checking errors...

Btw, this post looks like you're writing a letter? Would you like help?

My Dictionary is never happy :( My Thesaurus however....


Wow! Now my books have emotions! It must be late... (11:03 here in VA)

I'm afraid you are all correct. Straight off www.dictionary.com

before i say the line
 

i don't take French - but this is a line my friend taught me
and I said it to this French guy as a joke/dare - so it might not be
a pick up line, but it sure gets you interesting looks after you
whisper it seductively in his ear and walk away as he looks confused:

"Je a pataloon"

of course some other people respond with "too bad"
:rolleyes:

o by the way, it means "I have pants"

YAY!!
 

:confused:

Can you please get back to English or SL. I know those two languages.

Re: Different Languages.......
 

Uhh..I wasn't the one that said anything about the spelling...

We're not to sure wether we counted the overseas ballots or not in my county. A classmate of mine came up with this one and hes a rather interesting character "Yo quiero su manos en mis pantolones." (Don't exactly remember how to spell pants in Espanol...there's a Spanish-English Dictionary around here somewhere)

Re: Different Languages.......
 

6:29 eh? Yeah I'd be fast asleep for at least 2 more hours (get up around 8:30, be at school for 8:55)...But, if it were a "its too cold out" day, I'd be asleep until like 11 :p

BTW, never once have I had a "its too cold day" (ive had a few snow days over the years)....and its been -20 here for like the last week (its a warm -11 today), and I've been ay school every day.

As for "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?", I beleive you answered yes....may times...lol :p

Re: Re: Different Languages.......
 

My school starts @ 7:35am, and I live half an hour away from my school by car! My school gets out at 2:40 and I get home somewhere around 4:30-5:00 by bus (Depending on who's on the bus that day...6:29 I gotta be out the door!

Oh, and down here in florida, the only day's that we get off randomly for here is hurrican days...Can't ya picture us all?

"Yai no school, let's go out and play!"
::15 minutes later the children are back inside::
"AHHH, 2x4's at 40 mph!!"


[Edit] Oh, and for the record, I'm juss not commenting on the rest of your post [/Edit]

hummm.......let me think, were all those the times that I actually jumped in your bed. Nothing physical happened, but I just wanted to jump on his bed!! Is that wrong?!?

Ya know..I'm starting to think Maybe I should just stay on the OTHER side of the "Other" Divider bar on the main forums page...

horrified-->puzzled-->understanding-->queer-->puzzled

silly ohio.....*nods*

oHIo
 

What state is round on both sides, and hi in the middle?

I know! It's circlemountaincircle! Oh wait, that's not right. :(

japan?

nope.. how about wyoming?

hmmm
 

wyoming is "high" in the middle? isn't it flat...

*rollseyes* if you all are serious, I hope I get to go against you at comps ;)

try Virginia or if you're facing south....Ohio.

What.....??
 

poor you
 

i think all of this came from a random comment made by harrison..maybe having some sort of connection to ohio? haha im lost too

Me too....now I'm lost. So what's the lamest pickup line.... "Your bandwidth must be great" (Pirates of Silicon Valley)

The Ohio stuff came from me asking "What state was round on both sides and high in the middle?"

Seeing as we were ALREADY TALKING ABOUT OHIO, I kinda assumed that someone would instantly answer my joke.

The answer is of course Ohio.

oHIo (round on both sides [o], and high [HI] in the middle).

I got the joke Harrison, don't worry, it was pretty much straightforward, I dunno why no1 got it, lol ;)

ttyl!

We got it, team 840 just has a twisted sense of humor, that's all. Of course, everyone in the middle of California is high, so we couldn't really tell what you meant.

lol.....
 

Sometimes it's the girls...
 

Aloha,

I don't have any interesting stories about guys trying to pick me up at a competition. However, at 25's Brunswick Eruption this year I told a member of 222 that I would Lei him for his pineapple. Of course, it was said with a little more enthusiasm than was needed. =) By the end of the day I ended up lei-ing him twice for his plastic pineapple. I was happy. And that pineapple will be coming with me everywhere this year. =)

Mellie
Team 25

Obviously I got it....just change orientations that's all. But I'm confused on what they're were confused about.

Uuuuhhhh, hey baby. I notice you have braces. I have braces too...

::window smashes:: AAAAHHHHHHH

(i was never told/said this, but i did over hear it...)

haha...I would love to hear this one said, and see the reaction, just for the hell of it.

I know tell me about it.....

"You have great bandwidth."

Re: actually...
