So, today, during my lunch break, someone slid into my DMs. Which isn’t totally unusual, I guess. I mean, people like to DM each other on twitter dot com for a variety of reasons, but this one contained the weirdest pickup line I’ve ever heard.

Our friend wishes to remain anonymous, probably because the pickup line is unique:

For those that don’t know who Shep Smith is, he’s an anchor with Fox News. He’s a capital J journalist. He respects the biz. He’s big time. But he’s also an Ole Miss fan. And, for some reason, he’s not too fond of Mississippi State fans. Although, I’m not sure why.

I honestly have no clue why Shep wouldn’t like to hear “Hail State.”

Can’t think of any reason at all.

So, if you see our good buddy and longtime friend of the site, Shep Smith, be sure to wish him a Hail State. Kinda like this.

Hey Shep. Hail State.
