You Pickin up on what I'm Puting Down

"Guys, Ok this is what we do; we rent a air balloon. We go over BYU and UVSC in this air balloon and scatter thousands of little papers over these campuses with our contact information."

Today I am going to teach you kids on how to laso that special someone, he or she maybe in your class, works near your cubical, or you may see them in the line at wally world. You maybe asking yourself "why should I listen to mitch?" I am kind of like "The Wizard" I got mad game.

Well I have heard of many sweet ways to find a significant other; one of my favorite ideas was from Rob to the Bob. As we were driving the streets of Provo UT., he says, "hey guys today in class I came up with an idea." Now anytime you hear that Rob to the Bob has an idea you're going to want to listen up. He's told me about his ideas of haunted houses, musical urinal cakes, and a few other duseys. So, when I heard this, I knew I was in for a treat. He then explained his way to meet some ladies. He explains to us with an excited tone, probably like when Edison told people about the light bulb; "Guys, OK this is what we do; we rent a air balloon. (I believe he had already looked into renting a air balloon.) We go over BYU and UVSC in this air balloon and scatter thousands of little papers over these campuses with our contact information." Needless to say we never got a air balloon, but we all had a good laugh. In today's post I'll explain to you a few of my personal favorite ways to lure in that special Philly.

The Where/Major/year/School line. It seems to me that at school when you meet someone you have to ask the four basic questions before you can have a conversation. These questions are where are you from?, what is your major?, what year are you in school?, and what school do you go?. So I created a way to ask all these questions within 8 seconds; which is the same time you need to ride a bull successfully. So approach that person and quickly say, "Where you from, What school do you go to, your Major, and year in school, you go first." It's straight business time. This one has worked they usually laugh because they have been asked those questions time and time again.

Area Code Line. Here is another "quick to the point to the point no fakin." approach them with you phone out; and state the area code you are in; for example if you are in Eastern Washington with a area code of 509, you say, "OK 509 ready." Look like your waiting for them to give you the rest of their number. This one has a big failure rate, but that doesn't mean it's not sweet.

Scavenger Hunt Strategy. OK if you are new to campus and want to meet people, you could try knocking on someone door and asking if sally lives there. But that is way lame and they'll know what you are up too real fast. So this is what you do. Make a list of random things. Cross about 40 percent of them off, with different types of colored pins. Go around door to door ask people if they have those items. Many times you can get a solid foot in the door this way. You can also explain to them, that you are their new home teachers. This is very risky and highly unethical.

OK this last one is amazing. Even though I am 0-2 with this operation doesn't mean it can't work for you. I call it The Matrix. OK for this one is highly dangerous and takes a lot of skills in the sneakiness department. Once you have eyed that special someone sneakingly walk by them and stash your phone in their purse, or something close to them. After it is planted run like the guy on twister(Start the clip at 5:45)! Once you have accomplished the first step the next step is to call it. BAM! Already talking on the phone, nice. This can be tricky, because I once almost didn't get my phone back and it took me three days to even get it back. But it's pretty fun.

Kids, I am giving you pearls here.
