The scene: a club in Seattle, where a night called “Twilight” is happening.
The players: super geeky guy (skinny, glasses, buck teeth, the whole bit), and our heroine, Ariel, who happens to be wearing arm warmers. SGG, upon being introduced to Ariel earlier in the evening, launched into a ultra-smooth monologue about how he finds women who wear things on their arms incredibly erotic.

30 minutes later:
SGG: [tugs on arm warmer] I’m sorry — I’ve already forgotten your name.
Ariel: [who likes geeks] Ariel.
SGG: Ah, like the Little Mermaid.
Ariel: No, like Shakespeare’s The Tempest.
SGG: [gets really excited] Oh my god! [dramatic pause, where I wait for him to reveal that he is +3 assertiveness -2 charisma, but holds The Amulet Of Genlor] Have you read Faust?
Ariel: No.
SGG: Oh my god. It’s only, like, the best book in the universe. And in the second half he uses Ariel from the tempest as a very important character, and [goes on to talk excitedly about it.]
Ariel: Mmmhmm. I’ll have to check that out.
SGG: You know, I really love the name Ariel. My exgirlfriend had a friend named Ariel, and I always thought she was incredibly sexy.
Ariel: [Realizes that, while she adore geeks, she can't stand geeks trying to be something they're not (ie "smooth"), and that this particular geek does not know when to quit.]
Ariel: …
SGG: Well, anyway. Keep doing that thing that you do. [strides off]

I’ve never had a more “Please, please: just don’t try so hard and we could actually have a conversation” experience.
