h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Probably a darn sight quicker than flying...(and more eco-friendly )

1. "I like cheese. Do you like cheese?"
2. "I'm from Scotland, you can tell as I look like Sean Connery" (from a drunk 20-something in Prague - who looked nothing like Sir Sean)
3. Far too yikes-able for hootoo. Let's just say the adjective "hard" and the verb "suck" made an appearance far too early for any civilised conversation.

"Did it hurt when you fell down from heaven, angel?" (loosely translated).

1. "I like cheese. Do you like cheese?"





thats a beaut.

'tis that.

"Where have you been all my life?" is an all-time classic.

That cheese one would work on me.

trying to imagine where the conversation would go after that though...

I like cheese. Do you like cheese?

yes/no

oh good/oh well. (embarrassing silence)

So, where've you been all my life?

If you must know it went something like this:

Me: Hiya! I like cheese. *eats cube of cheese from cocktail stick* Do you like cheese? *Offers tray of cheese cubes and cocktails sticks*

Them: Cheese?

Me: Yes, cheese. *offers tray again* It's on a stick with a bit of pineapple.

Them: My friend's over there, so I'm going to go...over there. *leaves*

My Friend: *appearing from across the room* Did you just do the cheese talk again?

And I resent the "again" as that indicates I've done a lot of talking about cheese, which I haven't, not really.

Actually more worrying, is why do I insist on telling this embarrassing story to total strangers?

yip. you might have salvaged some dignity by substituting 'Me' for 'Person A' or somesuch....



....would have worked on me though

Given the number of cheese lovers on this site and at the meets I think it's suggestive you were using the line in the wrong place/company.

I agree with that. Oh, well, just go to the next Wallace and Gromit screening, or the next h2g2 meeting. You'll find someone

Cheese? Did somene mention cheese? I love cheese, me...!

RF

If cheese be the food of love... give me excess of it.

'show me your , i'm gay' as said to Genie by Roymondo in the pub saturday night was a pretty bad line

Yeah, but did it work?

RF

I think it may have earned him a quick peep..my memory is hazy

...Takes notes...

RF

What's so great about anyway? I have them... But we had this conversation before.

What's so great about ? You have to ask? A man would NEVER ask that question.

How about,

"How's your belly off for spots?"

Nah. It was never my lucky chat up line.
