 Nice comic but as a non-American I was not familiar with the "pickup" term used in basketball. Perhaps next time include some temperature jokes in Fahrenheit to throw us right off. :) [[Special:Contributions/124.149.182.124|124.149.182.124]] 07:38, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 ;What can we learn from this?
 I've learned that it's fruitless to ask others how to meet the love our out lives (our better half). Don't be a smart ass, and seldom am I as funny as I think I am. I can observe failures of others and I can try to learn from their mistakes. In the end it's necessary to be myself and figure out what I have to offer to the relationship in order to be successful. If a person is attractive and shallow they may offer a night of passionate sex, if a person is well off they may offer financial support in exchange for couple of hours of passionate sex, but if you represent who you are well, you may find someone to spend and improve the rest of your lives with together. - e-inspired [[Special:Contributions/24.51.197.187|24.51.197.187]] 18:48, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

 Beret Guy is right, a day of Pickup Art sounds like a lot of fun.  Everybody pack their sketchbooks, pastels and watercolours, wander around town till they find interesting vignettes or vistas, everyone sketch and paint without showing each other till picnic time.  At PT, all pull out their packed lunches and eat and enjoy each other's efforts.  He'll, this sounds 1000% better than almost every pub outing I have ever had.[[Special:Contributions/24.79.11.46|24.79.11.46]] 13:00, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
