I went out to the bar where my brother basically lives the other night. It was cool to hang out with him. We share a sense of humor, and always have fun together (except when he's a dick).

We saw part of this movie at my parents, where this one girl says to her knocked up sister "you wouldn't be in this mess if you had kept a nickel between your knees like mom always says. We crazy laughed at that line because our last name is Nickel. Looks like I've got a new pickup line

Me- "Hey baby, didn't your mom ever tell you to keep a NICKEL between your knees?" (you gotta accentuate)

Girl- "No, she never once said that."

Me- "oh... well it's a saying you know."

Girl- "really?"

Me- "Oh yeah! I heard it in a movie once, so I decided to use it as a pickup!" (am I yelling or what? I mean what's with all the exclamation points?)

Girl- "oh... I don't get it."

Me- "Well you see, my name is Nickel, so it kind of works on two levels.

Girl- "I only see one level."

Me- "yeah, I guess... but it does work on that one level.

Girl- "oh sure. It's very clever.

Me- "thanks"

Girl- "how's that working out for you?"

Me- "what's that?"

Girl- "being clever."

Me- "oh, fine"

Girl- "well, keep it up then."

-Exit Girl-

Me- "wow. I was rejected by a line from Fight Club. That's pretty cool!... now I'm talking to myself! (and to make matters worse, I'm yelling.)


Actually, this is a more accurate portrayal of how it would go down.

Girl- "Hi."

Me- "Hey"

-exit girl-

Me- "wow, she was hot!" (note that I am still yelling to myself)
