Q: How much does a polar bear weigh?

A: Enough to break the ice.
Q: What's a Henway?
A: About four pounds.
Q: What's a buttfore?
A: If you don't know, you'd better stop eating.


On-topic, I find that a good ice breaker is "So, seen any good movies lately?"

I like to inject random Norse mythology wisdom into conversations at parties. Did you know that Alfheim was the home of the svarts? Amazing!

See, in Ireland we just say "any news?" or some variant, placing all obligation on carrying the conversation squarely on them.

Unless they say "ah not much, yerself?"

Then you say the exact same thing. This goes back and forth like this for however long you should be talking to them.

Small talk made easy!

Especially when talking to a blind guy.

Um, personally I just step in really close to them, start breathing heavily and stare at their left shoulder.

Well...whenever someone says they did something, I snidely reply, "Was it for charity?" (Funnier if you say it like "Cha-rah-tee, like I do)

I think I missed the point of what I was supposed to say...

Basically these are a bunch of things that pick-up artists say to pretty girls when they first walk up so they don't sound like they are hitting on them. They are generally interesting things to talk about and may work in your situ'ation.

Star Wars is much better. The expanded universe is rich in history and diverse Alien species. Star Trek is some technobabble, with a bunch of barely different humanoids. Plus blasters are way cooler than phasers.

Anyway, favorite kind of music, have you seen x movie, that kind of thing. Make it a bit more natural though.
