I can't think of a Lego pickup line.
"I'm working on a lego spaceship, and I think you're my missing piece."

Come ON guys, how did no one do something like that one?  No wonder ya'll single :P
"Let's be legos and interlock our pieces."

...This is hard.
"I'll attach to your bottom end." ...No?

I have an avatar rotation on the /tg/station forums and it contains only two images because I only found two :V

Baby, we're like legos. I know we've just met, but already I feel my entire being unwinding, and attaching to you. For every up, there is a complementary down. We're meant to be together. We fit and only force could bring us apart. I love you, and am connected to you in part of a structure greater than the both of us. We are mere building blocks in life, but as long as we're together that's okay.

...
Eh, I don't think that's a pickup line. Meh, it'll do.

Just use some pick up lines from Liberal Crime Squad.

Speaking of which, how long will it be until we can woo the ladies in DF?

  have an avatar rotation script I wrote myself, so it can do funky stuff like "only display this picture between 1am and 2am, and at no other time" or "only display this image to requests coming from this specific ip address" and it easily lets me fiddle with stuff like. It turns out you can actually basically just load a php script as an image and it will run just fine until it replaces itself with what you expect. :V

Also, reminds me I should probably make more extensive use of those features for !!fun!! (and if anyone here needs slightly more complex avatar rotation services, feel free to hit me up, I can only do a few people since I don't want to hurt my bandwidth too much but right now I'm just doing myself.)

That would be fun. And some children, too. It'll be like Fable. My character was just chatting, having fun, next he knew he had a hungry mouth to feed.

Maybe mod in a night creature race to play in adventurer mode?

Someone said the dictionary is changing the definition of "literally" because people use it to mean figuratively.

That isn't the WTF because if that was true, then sure the dictionary should.

The WTF is because if it if it was true then the people who write the dictionary are stinken morons because people use "literally" to mean "literally" and the dictionary writers apparently never heard what a hyperbole is. This would be like if the dictionary changed the definition of "nothing" to mean "something"

I still don't exactly believe it is true because it requires several levels of stupidity.
I think I heard about that. If it were true, then it'd be like all the other times they put in slang or colloquial use: Labelled as "colloquial:" and appended at the bottom.

There already was that one noodle incident, but I don't think that counted as wooing.

It's been changed for a while now.

OED.
Merriam Webster.
Google (using a dodgy API because they don't offer direct access).

In 2005 Language Log looked at the history of the "wrong" use of literally, tracing it back to 1766. More recently, when the Google dictionary changed, they found that the OED had noted such usage since 1903 and nearly every dictionary had already included that usage.

The problem is that it misunderstands the slang use on a fundamental level. Even the slang definition of literal is literal. It is a hyperbole.

That is why it is so dumb.

It isn't like when people who "Man that's so sick!" to mean cool.
