quote Kendra: "Kip, You are such a nice guy you don't need cheesy pick-up lines to get chicks.


There were a few of us who were very impressed with you at Wing Night. There you sat so patiently on the picnic table brushing Lil' Kips hair and putting it in a (nice) pony-tail. That's a big WOW for women. My three B's were even impressed, but they're a little young for you.


Kind gestures I feel say more than words.


Carry a pack over a portage, help load a canoe on a car, or simply ask if someone needs help. If all else fails have Lil' Kip ask a cute chick to sign my daddy's paddle.

I do have a guitar and I can play it. Chicks seem to dig music. Too bad I can't haul a piano up there. Much better at playing that."

She would probably know what she's doing, which would make you look pretty dumb. A better approach might be to ask her for tips on setting up a tarp. That would be a compliment."

I would laugh. Laughter is always good.

This summer I was biking through a very small town in Indiana. A guy walks out of his house as I go by and says-- "wow, didn't know I'd see something so beautiful first thing in the morning." You bet that made me smile. I must have been a blur riding past, but didn't care. He made my day. Did I stop? no way. but I sure did smile."

quote MagicPaddler: "True story won’t help you get a date but it will make you laugh.
One day a friend and I were headed out of the building we work in to go to lunch. There was a nice looking young lady 20 or 30 feet ahead of us. The sidewalk runs across the front of the building so as you are coming out of the building you are not looking at some one 20 feet down the walk. On this day the sun is shining and there is a light breeze. It feels so good to get out of the stuffy building on a beautiful day. As soon as both of us were out of the building I said “isn’t that beautiful! Well a roof was being tarred near by and the smell was strong with out any hesitation I said “but it doesn’t smell very good”. The young lady snap around and glared at us then turned back around and proceeded to her car. My friend and I did not say any thing until we were in the car then he said he didn’t thin he would go to lunch with me any more.

10. Wear pants that cover your arse.
9. Tattoo on neck or face, bad thing.
8. "Hi, I'm Ed Gein Jr."
7. Do not do a "Paddle-by" several times to the point of creepiness.
6. Don't stare at her and say nothing for long periods.
5. "Ted Bundy is one of the most fascinating individuals, don't you think?"
4. "You are so much more beautiful then my wife."
3. Sharpen an axe or knife in her presence with almost religious fervor, while drooling.

For some reason this 'vintage' thread recently popped back into my head. Neat to see some of the old names & lots of good laughs - again. These^ may have triggered the loudest."
