Question: What’s the best pickup line you’ve heard?

Episode 12 Winner

Congrats to ♛⤶ƌςΘβ♛ for the best answer to Episode 12’s question: How do you get rid of the hiccups?

There are many ways to get rid of hiccups. There is never ever one specific way of getting rid of them.
1. Try to get scared/scare the person who has hiccups. It also might not be a human, so you can try to scare animals too.

2. Drink a glass of water. This sometimes works. But it never is 100%. I have gotten rid of hiccups by mostly drinking water. It is currently one of the best known ways to get rid of hiccups.

3. Hold your breath. Now, some people might find that this doesn’t work, but this does work occasionally. I have tried it, and it’s second best compared to drinking water. If drinking water doesn’t work, this method immediately comes after it.

4. Lemon juice. I highly suggest this method if neither drinking nor the holding of the breath works. Its sourness is one you cannot forget. Make sure to swallow only a little, because if you swallow too much, you’ll be puckered for a while.

5. Burping. This can be achieved by drinking soda or just making yourself burp. I can make myself burp quite easily, though I’m unsure of anyone else. You can also eat a lot, so that your digestive system will eventually make you burp.

6. You can wait for the hiccups to stop. Not highly recommended, because you’ll have to suffer it for quite a while. Some people have hiccups for years. It’s possible.

That is all the methods that have worked for me.

I hope I helped, mates.

Episode 11 Winner

Congrats to Venus: Merry Christmas for the best answer to Episode 11’s question, Where did kissing under the mistletoe come from?

I think it originated in Scandinavia.
It probably began with a Love story passed down from generation to generation.

MISTLETOE LOVE STORY
Two Lovers had to sneak away into the woods to see each other.
There, they could kiss underneath the Mistletoe without anyone knowing.

When the girl’s parents found out, they forbid her to leave their home alone.

Her Lover managed to send a message to her. He said that they would run away to be together. He told her that he would make the preparations for their elopement.
When everything was ready, he would leave a sprig of Mistletoe on her window ledge.
At that time, she should run into the woods to meet him.

The night finally came and she found the sprig of Mistletoe on her ledge.
She climbed out her window and escaped into the night.
She ran to the Forest and found her Lover there waiting for her.

They embraced and kissed underneath the Mistletoe.
Then, together, they vanished into the night.

And they lived Happily Ever After.

Episode 10 Winner

Congrats to B.J. for Episode 10’s Best Answer. Here’s his answer:

You should spend as much money as you’re comfortable spending as long as you’re not being cheap. If you really love your girlfriend, you wouldn’t get her anything cheap and you would make her feel special and that you care about her, you really want to marry her, and you’re serious about everything. It’s what she’s going to be wearing forever (or for as long as you’re married), so make it mean something. It’s way more important than the honeymoon or the actual wedding, in my opinion.

If I were planning on proposing, I would save my money and put some aside to the ring, and do a lot of looking around for the perfect one. There would be no rushing, because you don’t want to screw anything up.

In the end, it’s up to her to like what you buy her. Even if she doesn’t like it, what’s more important is the person she is marrying. She won’t marry you for the engagement ring, but for the type of guy you are.

Episode 9 Winner

Congrats to Todd for Episode 9’s Best Answer. Here’s his answer:

You are always going east if you go east. There is no going west when you are going east. This is because the world is round and even if you flatten it out you will end up on the other side of the map once you hit the edge of the eastern side of the map. You will still be going east. Its common logic if you think about it.

If you are going east and go halfway around the world. You keep walking and you are still going east. If you keep walking another halfway you go all the way around the world and are still going east.

Take a round ball. Now create imaginary dots that hover on the sides of the ball. One is on the left, which is east, and the other is on the right which is west. Have the dots follow the ball when it spins. Now take your finger and place it in the center of these two dots on the ball. Now move your finger towards east while spinning the ball. It never goes west only east. Its hard to imagine it on a real ball so do it in your head if you want.

Episode 8 Winner

Congrats to Mike for Episode 8’s Best Answer. Here’s his answer:

First step: assume it was a mistake. “Excuse me, there’s a line here.” Nice and polite and works around 80% of the time. Most time a cut in is a simple error where the person has made a mistake. And if it’s not a mistake, it gives the offender a way out before I destroy their dignity.
Second step, escalate. Louder voice: “I think you haven’t have heard me, so I’ll speak up. There’s a line here and we’ve all been waiting.”
Third step, humiliation. “Oh, so you think you’re more important than us! Your time is more valuable than the rest of us! If you’re so important, why are you standing in line like the rest of us, Mr El Presidente? Why don’t you have your own special line if you’re that important? Maybe you would like me to walk in front of you with a bell: Make way! Make way! Get out of the way, peasants! An important person is coming through!”

Normally halfway through this rant, he will leave or the rest of the line will start joining in or laughing at him. Either way, good result.

Of course, it helps to be big, tall and just a little bit crazy looking.
