There's a lot of myths and half-truths surrounding Valentines Day. This is my favorite one, courtesy of the History Channel.

Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, performed marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

Wow.
Wow wow wow wow wow.

Death sentence for marrying young lovers. Harsh. And you know what? Given what we now know about Valentine's Day, I bet 80%of american men would gladly travel back in time to stomp a mudhole in that lousy, love-mongering Valentine. (On that 80% figure: Reckon 10 percent of American guys are gay and the other 10 percent arent allowed to travel back in time because their wives wont let them.)

What a lousy holiday, this Valentine's Day. You can't win. Best you could do is hope for a tie, and that's only if you empty out your bank account.

See what a dozen roses cost this year? Try 80 fucking dollers.

EIGHTY DOLLERS! For twelve weeds.... ooh, sorry, roses aren't weeds. They're declarations of love. THat's what a red rose means, "i love you." A white rose means "you're heavenly." A pink rose means "you're lovely."

And you know what the fetid water sitting in the bottom of the vase with decaying roses wilting at the top means? means "the water i'd like to make every Valentines day opportuist drink"

Candy, cards, flowers, gifts. Money, Moolah, cashish, simoleans. Drains all the romance out of it - and this is one guy who's all about the romance. How in the world can Valentine's Day be romantic when us shlubs are going from store to store buying all the requisite Valentine's Day items?

I can't.

So that's why I'm calling on all you womenfolk lurking this god forsaken boards to put a stop to this madness. End the annual Velentine's Day Bank Account Massacre. Tell us you don't want us to spend all this money on this manufactured holiday. Tell us instead of celebrating Valentin's Day, you'd rather have us otherwise decent fellas celebrate our love to you in other, less obvious ways.

Like making dinner once in a while, or bringing flowers home for no good reason, or even just one of those corny "Thinking of You: cards. Anything to break the bondage of Valentine's Day.

My girlfriend has already gone on record as saying she doesn't want me to spend money on flowers. But she did mention something about a hanging plant.

A fucking hanging plant....

Well, i suppose nothing says "I love you" quite like a rat's-tail-cactus (actual hanging plant).

Now there's a fucking Hallmark card you won't be seeing this year.


I hate holidays, especially ones where I dont get days off

Indeed. Amen to that! I have a few friends who are spending a lot of cash on their girlfriends. Shouldn't be necesary to spend $100+ on a girl to say I love you.

But v-day is a good day for couples, but sucks ass and makes us look like real nerds not having g/fs and/or not even near a girl (as a friend(all the ones I know are out of town, only 2 are out of state)

STOP TYPING V-DAY!

I keep on seeing "D-Day" in place of "V-Day". Jenny's post:

sounds like she's taking a mounted machinegun to Omaha beach instead of a Valentine's Day post.

Oh my!
deja vu! :eek:

My ex-bloke bought me the full collection of "Kimagure Orange Road" for my B-day, it was so sweet of him.
I don't see why you can't do the same for Valantines, as long as it has a romance theme.
But I don't think you should do that unless your lass is a otaku anime fangurl :lol:

Edit: mmmm....I forgot this is post Valantines now.... woops...ideas for next year i guess! :lol:
Edit II: I'm not talking about D-Day or VE-Day im talking about Valantines day ^_^;

For married folk, it really doesn't matter the $$ you spend on Valentines Day. It all comes out of the same account, doesn't it?

I spent $180 on an afternoon spa session for my wife. I gave it to her on Wednesday. She loved it. Even though she didn't get me a gift or anything like that, I enjoy surprising my wife. I expect no recompense in return. Just unrequitted love.

2004-02-15, 05:12 AM
I think your sentiment is just peachy, Sentrosi, but did you really mean to say 'unrequited'? Because that'd be kinda, well, I don't even know what it would mean.

Yeah but no offense, Valentine's Day is a holiday that was designed for Women. With all due respect to my species, I don't think that men care enough to need that validation that they want on Valentine's Day.

Askmen.com said that they were designing a holiday on par with Valentine's Day. I'm not sure if I can post what they called it, but I'll say "Steak & A BJ" day and hope that you all know what I mean. They designed this holiday to fall a month after Valentine's Day so the point was, "treat your woman well on Valentine's Day, and she'll return the favor".

But I guess Valentine's Day is a sort of chivalrous holiday where you (the man) are supposed to just fap all over yourself to woo your woman all over again. Or something.

ugh! Taco bell gives me the shits.

Quick story. My friend worked at Taco Bell once, and they had this bitchy customer come in. So the manager told my friend to gizz in the fryer. And he did. they made her fries in in that fryer and served them to her. She ate 'em. But don't worry. He lost his job there because that resaurant was closed to do sanitary problems.

Anyways...yeah. Well... if it means anything I scored big on valentines day.
