Yeti is once again walking along Walnut (I really need to find a new street to walk on) back to work after her lunch break. She passes a young man holding a piece of paper in his hands looking (acting) lost...
Man: “Excuse me, do you know where xxx Walnut Ave is?”
Yeti: “I believe it should be just a little ways down there – if you just follow the numbers. I don’t know what exact building that would be though.”
Man: “Thanks. Alright. I’ve gotta be honest. I just thought you were real cute and wanted to chat with you.”
Yeti: “Oh, ok.”
Man: “Come on, what do you say you and me shake it up!” [now, this is where a blog is insufficient. I wish I could show you his body motions. Please stand, face the person closest to you and shimmy into their shoulder – this, hopefully, if you do it right, is the motion that was done to me several times]
Yeti: [fighting back laughter] “what???”
Man: “Yeah, we could shake it up” [do the shimmy move again while saying shake it up]
Yeti: “ok, I have to go.”
Man: “It could be real nice to Shake it up” [you know the drill]
Yeti: “ok, seriously, you need to never do that again.” [Yeti begins walking away]
Man: “But it could be fun to shake it up.” [yep…one more time]

words....cannot describe.....how awkward that sounded. I shall now try that with someone in my office. Oh wait no, I work in HR so no, no I won't. :)
If at first your lame tactic doesn't succeed, keep trying! It's bound to work if you keep repeating it! ...Right?
So that's where "shake it up" came from. Nice! I think that line might have worked on me, but only if accompanied by a shimmy.
