Recording a new podcast pretty soon. If you've got some questions, send 'em our way!

Is it cheating if I send in a bunch of questions (like 3-4)? Or would you rather I send one at a time every week so you two can milk me for all I'm worth?

My relationship ineptness knows no bounds.

@myketuna: Send 'em if you got 'em. We'll play it by ear and decide whether we should use them all or parse them out, based on how many questions we have and how in-depth your answers would be.

Yeah, that term is a real banger in the mouth. Guy sounds like a true blowhard.

I'm afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run if you will, so I'm afraid I have something of a mess on my hands. Even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up!

It's been a long break, but we're back with a new installment tomorrow. Going forward we'll be sticking with a regular monthly schedule. In the meantime, listen to this classic Bombcast dating discussion:

Only pickup line you ever need:

"Hey, what's your name?" with a smile afterward and good eye contact throughout.

Really? Because I've been workshopping this one:

"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyuuuuuumm guuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrll, you so beautiful you make me wish I weren't a nerdy shut in with a crippling case of social anxiety!"

Of course I haven't tried it out, what with my crippling social anxiety and all. I've been sticking with my tried and true method of staring at said beautiful girl and hyperventilating.

You guys are doing it wrong. The best pick up line is, "I've played at least 100 hours of Tokimeki Memorial. Clearly, I am the superior mate."

Well, this thread explains it all to me very well about relationships. All humans are pigs, and the Lunarian king isn't any better. Sometimes, I envy the pigs... because they are the ones who find happiness in someone else, the ones know how to have fun, and the smarter ones. It sucks being an alien, because I'm really incapable of comprehending these types of relationships.

Given that I can become a wide variety of ladies at will, I know quite a bit about ladies.

Being a lady and wooing a lady are not the same. That's why if you ever ask a lady how to woo a lady they give shitty answers. I assume. I've never spoken to a lady about such things. Not counting you, because I don't know when you're a lady and when you aren't. I wish more ladies were like that...

Finally got around to listening to this today. Just wanted to say thanks for all the advice you guys gave me. Very helpful. It seems like I think too much and I should just follow my gut a bit more. Duly noted.

Also, no rubbing wieners on women while dancing. Check.

It's very progressive of the Lunarians to serve a king leading an "alternative" lifestyle. Good for them.

Get a little experience under you're belt and you can progress to "kissing with your hand on the back of her head". Chicks dig it. We'll answer the rest of your questions next month!

Not particularly. Doing anything sexual as the opposite sex is a short-lived thrill, and the possibility that the character you've transformed into might become aware of this while you're doing it adds an unneeded layer of risk.

Bullshit.

That is A pickup line, but there are only two pickup lines that are guaranteed to work every single time:

"Excuse me. Does this smell like chloroform?"

"I've got a gun. Get in the car."

Chump. The real way to woo a girl is to walk up to her, sweaty and shivering, and just muttering really fast, muttering at a faster and quieter pace every fifteen seconds or so.

I can verify this works.

You know what also works? Putting a padlock on the fire exit and refusing to open it when the building is on fire until you get her number. But you need to verify it is actually her number before you open the door. That's a classic rookie blunder.

When you do call her after those 2 - 4 years are up she'll know just how special you think she is. It will be magical. There's a chance you might even get to second base. Trust me, I speak from experience.

No. The classic rookie blunder is only getting one girl's number in this situation.

Well if there are too many girls they can overpower you and take the keys. To prevent this you need to keep the key nearby but not directly on your person. Still, they could beat the location out of you.

Because of all this I find it's best to keep the number of girls down, you know, to make the situation more manageable. Also more romantic. Don't want to come across as a player.

Be wary of falling down that rabbit hole. Gonna end up doing more and more crazy shit to raise the bar higher and higher thinking to yourself "It's OK. This is for the podcast."

I don't know whether this should make me feel optimistic (Hey even Hitler could find someone!) or depressed (Hey, even Hitler could find someone...) as it could easily go either way.

Also I'm betting one reason Hitler got a girl was he knew how to properly pluralize words. Nazi's? The fuck was I thinking...

And now I know what my Halloween costume will be this year. I'm certain I'll need to fight the ladies off with a schalgstock.

(I could make more jokes but oooooooooh boy, they're perhaps a bit dark and I seem to have located my sense of shame so I'll drop it here...)
