Terrible WordPress Pickup Lines (WordCamp 2009)

Because Matt joked earlier that the (now annual) WordCamp Genius Bar would be available for dating advice throughout the day, I decided to run with the idea and compile a list of terrible potential WordPress pickup lines while helping to man the stations. The first two below are mine, while the rest can be attributed to my fellow (read: ACTUAL) geniuses.

  • Would you like me to extend your WordPress?
  • Do you want me to show you my plugins?
  • Help me extend my platform.
  • I’d like to fiddle with your widgets.
  • May I commit to your repository?
  • Is that a widget in your sidebar or are you just pleased to see me?
  • Wanna click my turbo button?
  • Can I Interest you in a QuickPress?
  • do_action('you');
  • How about you and me make a child theme?
  • If I pinged you, would you ping me back?
  • Let me help you open your source.

Feel free to chime in and comment with your own!

    “My code is buggy. Can I have yours?”

    Okay, that was a bad attempt. :( (Akin to “I’ve lost my telephone number, can I have yours?”)

    Coder Girl, an ode to female programming, reminded me of your pickup lines post. :) http://bit.ly/5wS3z

    Some of the lines…
    “Want to get in where I fit in like a plugin. This the true meaning of computer lovin.”
    “Invariably, how would I pass this, when my coder girl gives me root access?”
    “It always leads to an overflow, when it’s runtime, and we take it slow.”
    “She’s got a data stack that’s straight stunning, no mismatch, exceptions, or debugging.”
    “She’s not wrapped in Flash. All she wants is Java and a shell to bash.”

    “I beg you, please unzip it so I can plug it in your directory”

    Peace!
