Brisbane Pick Up Lines
Well I thought I would phrase this title quiet controversially to see what would happen. Given how well read this blog is by those in my inner sanctum it should make for some entertaining conversations. The problem with using your own domain as a post is everyone knows everything that you write about on your blog and it’s completely transparent to the outside world.
So today’s topic isn’t really about pick up lines although I will mention them briefly just because I think it would be cool to rank number one for “Brisbane pick up lines”. I have heard that the most common lines in Brisbane are “so how do you know {so and so}” or “don’t I know you from somewhere”. The strange thing for a city with 1.8 million people Brisbane is still like a big country town. Now some people say Brisbane is a hard place to pick up and meet people. while others say it’s easy I think that depends on your perception. I’m not sure Brisbane has the romantic atmosphere of some cities and town but I’m sure the warm weather and beautiful riverside make it quiet quaint for some people to get romantic lingerings tingling down their spine.
However this post isn’t really about Brisbane Pick Up Lines it’s about Me, Peter Laurent Brisbane SEO, sometime blogger and part time blossoming narcissist.
So last Friday Night I was out with some friends and work associates at a night valley night spot, no need to be discrete it was the Bowery Bar a local Brisbane cocktail bar. I go there from time to time so stalk me if you will, I’ll be the short, balding middle aged accounting flirting with the 19 year old design students at the bar. So anyway I was innocently conversing with some people out back when this girl walks up to me a goes:
“Is your name Peter?”
I am slightly reluctant to answer yes or no due to the bold way she approached and I’m stranded there trying to recall how I somehow might know this young girl. So I respond with the standard thing that any other reasonable young guy my age would respond with in this set of circumstances…
“It’s not mine!”
Just Kidding…
I agreed my name is in fact Peter, then came the next question, is your name Peter Laurent. I decided to accept this question with a begrudging yes knowing that it was going in an unknown direction I didn’t like nor could control. So here comes the kicker…
“Are you the best looking man in Brisbane?”
Now usually this isn’t the kind of question a girl should have to ask a guy so clearly she was confused, but I admitted I in fact am according to Google’s latest indexing on the date of this post. Then this four foot six balding midget comes over and admits he was the master mind behind the surprise approach and refuses to tell me who he is. Disclaimer: This is a midget friendly blog, no midgets where harmed in the making of this post.
Then the interaction subsides and I go about my night noting that three groups now had an interesting bar topic and I had a great story to add more culture to the mock competition. Everyone thought it was pretty fun and of course I made sure to bring it up in a way that it didn’t make me look like a self absorbed, pompous, arrogant jerk to people I don’t know.
In fact the only people who didn’t believe this really happen was my friends who thought the competition didn’t quiet have that much “scope”. Perhaps the “Midget Mastermind” and his female accomplice will come forward and state their side of the story on here or in blogosphere. Anyway I hadn’t been out for a couple of months so it was good that they whole night was a great time with friends… It was kind of cool being mock famous, perhaps one day I will in fact be a “Brisbane internet celebrity” rather the Best Looking Man in Brisbane.
Stay classy Brisbane!
