We're inches away from Valentine's Day and we're feeling the love fever coming in waves these days. Gifts-to-give lists and suggestions, like this one, are cropping up more relentlessly as that day nears. Then there are those cynical and I-don't-do-Valentine's-Day declarations thrown out here and there by some who don't have a date or a hand to squeeze (and receive flowers and chocolate from) yet.
And then there are those funny Olympic pickup lines.
This year's Love Day is made a bit different with the ongoing 2014 Winter Olympics in chilly Sochi. And when we combine two trending events, we get a uniquely humorous result that can help keep things from feeling like any other Valentine's Day.
Late Night show host Jimmy Fallon came up with the idea of collecting Olympics-themed pickup lines, Mashable noted. He asked his 11.5 million Twitter followers Monday to tweet their best lines in, plus the hashtag #OlympicPickupLines. To make things a bit exciting, he offered users the opportunity to appear on TV.
Here are some of the hilarious and corny pickup lines Fallon's followers have tweeted so far:
Jerin Guindon (@j_guindo): "Are you an ice skater, cuz damn what a figure"
Jessica (@jessicalanger): "I may be russian into things, but would it be sochieesy to ask for your number?"
Randy Carpenter (@randycarp): "Hey, wanna be part of my qualifying heat?"
Rachel Skoyen (@RachelSkoyen): "Im Shaun White"
Kari Van Horn (@KariVanHorn): "Did you fall from Heaven or did your hotel room floor cave in?"
CiJi Shae (@CiJiShae): "Well well well, you must not be on the Jamaican Bobsled Team because you definitely aren't missing any equipment."
DJ DjThumper Rikku (@DJDJTHUMPER): "Dang boy you got me falling .......Slopestyle."
Alex Rohrer (@allexrawr): "unlike the fifth olympic ring, my heart expands when you're around"
What's your Olympic pickup line?
