Hadn’t developed the -abies question yet, at the time, but she was 19, working at a bar, on the clock, and I scored them digits.

Fuck pickup artistry, just be yourself, kids.

Edit: lol, I had to look up Leisure Suit Larry, I thought it was pickup artist software coaching

I guess in a way it kind of was.

I got one buddy who coded it backintheday and my wife, as a summer job once, did online phone support for Sierra. Her two products were Leisure Suit Larry and After Dark.

Oh man I love/d After Dark. I wasted so many computer cycles on that...

I am still running flying toasters as my screensaver across two platforms.

Online phone support for Leisure Suit Larry?!? Holy shit, I wanna hear those stories someday.

She's very demure about it. I've had that conversation several times - she says it was mostly flowchart shit, albeit more ridiculous than normal. "So. Did you get into the club? And did you buy the margarita? Did you get her back into the car? Which answer did you choose when she said she needed some air?" etc.

Keep in mind this is a woman who has made a career out of watching the vaginas of screaming women so it didn't really make much of an impression on her.
