I have two openers I use on larger sets, and try to get a response out of everbody.
solid: hey, maybe you guys can help us come to some sort of consensus...who do you think would win in a fight between a lobster and a squirrel?
OR
who do you think would win in a fight between a bear and five monkeys with swords?
you can essentially plug in any two animals. you'd be surprised at how long the debate can rage on. you can always change the circumstances like "well what if instead of swords they have small daggers" or "you're thinking of the wrong kind of mokeys, i'm talking about some really angry, violent adolescent baboons, the kind that would love nothing more than to stab it out with a giant bear," or "you're probably thinking of a lame-ass black bear or something, i'm talking about a bad ass momma Grizzly protecting her babies" etc...make everybody laugh, be energetic, act as if this is the most important topic of discussion that'll come up all night. like most openers, the content isn't important - you're arguing about probably the dumbest question ever - but the energy you bring with the conversation is key.
generally whatever girl is the most into the discussion, arguing with the most passion, etc, is the one i'll try to isolate. you can just say,
"can i borrow your friend for a minute to discuss this matter further? we'll be right over there"...(or any of Mystery's isolation lines) then take her hand and lead her somewhere.
good luck.
Dude, I like this one ALOT.
You can get some crazy conversations going with that one, which is perfect for me.
I'll definitely have to give this one a shot.
