The great place by the great lake has been home to some great couples. Howard and Rosemary. Tom and Bo. Bruno and Adrienne. Thunder and Lightning. However, chances are they did not get together using a pick-up line even remotely close to the 100 listed here.

Kids, this list gets gritty – just like our city – and it isn't for you. Adults, we really do not suggest you try these at home. Or in a bar. Or anywhere, ever. But we do hope you'll get a chuckle or a groan from this updated-for-2012 list of awful Milwaukee pick-up lines.

In the spirit of OnMilwaukee famous "100 things" lists, we all wish you a happy Valentine's Day.
