From a conversation last night with a girl who had sensuous curly black hair (and who was reading CRYPTONOMICON!):
"Well, tomorrow's my day off, so I really should celebrate... are you doing anything tonight?"

Was that a pickup line?

Bruce asked:
Couldn't you eject him for inappropriate behavior?
      I suppose we could have. However, he was not loud or aggressive, not in a physically dangerous way at least. While he did go to far in touching my friend it was above the belt, so that seems questionable. He also went to far by making a cash offer to me, but that wasn't really harmful in any way. Of course in retrospect it was illegal. Didn't think of that at the time.
      'Sides, by letting him stay we thought somebody else might deck him. Sure it would be our job to break it up, but we might not notice right off so it might take us a few extra seconds to get there...

You're in Seattle, right? If her name was Jennifer, tell her Alan says "Hi."

Oh, and I'd say yes, that was definitely a pickup line.

Edit: Corrected a misspelling

I am tragically not very good yet at detecting these things.

I didn't clue in until about five minutes after we parted company. I managed to avoid giving myself any flesh wounds.

I think even I would have picked that up. And I'm notoriously clueless about such things.

So, was this someone you had just met, or do you know her?

Had just met. I did connive a scheme to meet with her again a week later, but not having picked up on the line immediately, I'm possibly too embarrassed to do so.

If she was reading Crypto she probably "gets" social density and may even dig it.

Thank you for the encouragement! I suppose that I will go ahead and give it a try!

Although she hadn't read that far into the book: there were still about two hundred pages between her and those chapters.

One that worked for me:

She: I have a bullwhip and I'm not afraid to use it! STRIP!

me: Yes, Ma'am!

one that worked for me:

"I'd like to get something straight between us."

followed by:

" you know, I can make this very hard for you"

" why don;t you come sit on my lap and we'll talk about the first thing that pops up"

i guess it doesn;t really count as a "pick up" line cuz i was already married to the person it worked on.
