Yeah ironically some of the most overused pickup lines are along the lines of, "Hi what's your name?" and "You're so pretty"...(gag).
Many common phrases that people think of as 'natural' things to say are actually some of the most canned stuff out there if you think about it.
Another thing commonly seen is 'milking the opener'. You see a guy walk up to some girls, he says his clever line, and it seems to work for minute, so he keeps going with it, and then... the energy starts to flag and it becomes needy, game over, girls blow him off.
Better to cut it at a high point and stack right into what's next.
A good opener would be one that is genuinely interesting, serves as a vehicle to display your personality, and as a gateway for followup conversation into other topics.

Wow, I've got to give it to you, your technique is really cool. So if I was going to a theme park and I wanted to smell a random girl's feet, what kind of stuff would I say to get her to let me do it?

Thanks, but as mentioned numerous times, there are no magic pickup lines.
Often times you may find that people are hardly listening to a word you're saying in fact, because they're so distracted by the manner in which you're speaking and your body language.
If you are at all shy, nervous, or embarrassed, that will totally overshadow whatever you say.
Women especially, are very perceptive of non verbal cues such as body language, perceived intent, and tone of voice.
Words are mainly a vehicle to display your fun confident non-needy engaging personality.
Best case scenario, you're so interesting to be around, that she's the one chasing you.

Yeah, I agree. As has been mentioned several times, I also feel that openers should just be a vehicle merely to convey your personality. It's not necessarily a "pick-up" line. There's no one magical phrase that's going to automatically get you the girl in every situation. What's natural as you said, actually comes across as being "routine" to most females being that it is the natural thing to say, so it becomes overused.
I've seen countless examples of guys milking an opener, and it's part of the reason why I don't believe in one end all be all pick-up line. Once you get the hook with the opener, you have to take it somewhere.
Even though it's from a film and obviously scripted, I've always felt a good example that actually isn't too far off on how an actual solid pick-up should go down was displayed in "Wedding Crashers" when Owen Wilson's character first met Rachel McAdams's character at the wedding. Indirect opener that delineates one's personality, perfect introduction of one's self, excellent lead of the conversation, nice tone of voice, etc.
End result: She found him so intriguing and interesting that she was the one following him around.

I saw this pretty girl with really beautiful eye catching sandals cruising down the boardwalk with some guy I guessed must be her boyfriend.
But once I started talking to them, the guy bailed out. Turns out he wasn't her boyfriend at all, just some random dude that had approached her just before I had and was trying to hit on her.
Once I rolled up, he handed her off to me and took off->

I've always said that the best foot troopers out there are the ones who consistently provide the video proof of their real life encounters. This is definitely what separates the talkers from the do-ers. You're also constantly reinventing yourself and this keeps you ahead of the game. Keep up the great work in the field, as it inspires those of us who like real-life women's feet!

Full transparency is always a great way to help one's credibility in the field and it's obvious why these complete strangers always trust your suggestions -- you are always on point and have nothing to hide from these models
