Well?

A great day for a massacre.

Hallmark can kiss my big fat ass.
If I can't tell someone that I love them on the other 364 days of the year then I have no business telling them that I do on February 14th just because Hallmark says I have to.
Fuck Valentine's Day.

FUCK VALENTINE'S DAY IN THE ARSE!!!!!

Shit I forgot...better make a run to the bondage shop.

When I was in college, I worked in a flower shop. I worked two V-Days.
I didn't like it before and I hate it even more after that experience.

Valentine's Day is the most evil of all holidays. It sucks for everyone--single, married, or just dating.

I hate it, my wife hates it even more.
All it means to us is that we can't go out for dinner on Saturday.
I was going to say more but Lammie said exactly what I wanted to say, so no sense repeating.

I'm clearly no fan of the holiday either, as shown by my realistic poll options.

Valentine's Day...

eh, it makes my old lady happy.

so even though i know it's an evil, bullshit, masturbatory(wait, this was supposed to sound derogatory) piece of shit fake holiday,

i don't give a fuck.

looks like i won't be buying a pack of V-Day cards to send to all of you.

grouchy fuckers.

CG,

If you can do something for VD (Valentine's Day, not something requiring penicillan) that actually pleases your wife, you are in better shape than most.

The typical scenario is that no matter what we try: flowers, card, dinner, show, quiet time at home, party, etc., the only guarantee is that we picked the wrong one.

So I'll be in the "I hate it but I'll go along and play the stupid fucking game" crowd. Doing something wrong is ever so slightly better than the shit I'd get for doing nothing.

my wife is great about that kind of thing.

of course i am one romantic bastard, so that helps.

i've never bought "the wrong thing" for her.

or she's a great actress.

which is fine too.

Romantic?

Check this one out.

As Han Solo said, "Sometimes I even impress myself."

a romantic bastard like you can't find a good gift?

bah!

I'd have been mortally embarrassed.

That's romantic? I call it a public spectacle.

You go on with your bad self, Justin.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Mostly, I just resent the "Romance by the calendar" artificial aspect of Valentine's Day. It is so crappy and manufactured. What is special about my buying her a gift if like 100 million people are doing it that day also. It actually means something when I do it other times. Saturday is sort of like an item on a to-do list. Also, like Lammie said, what about the other 364 days a year?

There is a fine line between some types of romantic and cheesy spectacle, DrinkSlinger. It doesn't matter what you thought about it. But notice that Lambchop gave it the thumbs-up. You have to know your (female) audience.

Make it simple & elegant and there will be no problems.

One must go beyond the card, candy, flowers to truly express that moment in time.

Expectation is a big no no.

Do not expect anything and ye shall recieve.

Happy Cupids day to you all,

P.S. Do not expect anything from me!

Here's a Valentine's day card for you, HC:

True. There are some that would enjoy that...

You missed the 30% off sale at Leather
Masters II.

did you get anything good?

Um, no.
Got a lot of bad things though.

dirty and bad?

DS,

If that didn't apply to you, no offense intended. Nobody gave me the cheat sheet.

Just to clarify, for the record, I think that your proposal was extremely nice because your wife obviously appreciated it and it made her happy. That, after all, was the point, right?

However, if anybody ever did that to me, I would kick him in the balls. Hard. 'Cause that kind of public spectacle would enrage me. Of course, anybody proposing to me would obviously already know that.

what if they proposed to you on the Maker's Mark distillery tour?

I think you mean "Wild Turkey".

well, i was going to go with wild turkey, but Maker's Mark would be classier for a proposal, in my opinion.

Now those are very fine ideas.
But I'd prolly forget about it soon afterward.

how's about i bring elvis to do the ceremony on the spot?

well, i guess i'd have to have him hide. cause you might suspect something if i just out of the blue brought him along.....or maybe you wouldn't.

elvis bears!

I'm with Celtic on this one. My wife is usually happy with whatever I prepare for Valentines Day, and for my part I don’t consider it a hassle or horrible obligation to have one day that is scripted for romance.

I’m not a romantically inclined person to start with, and probably don’t do half as much as she deserves, but to know in advance that we will be doing something special, even if its just a nice dinner at home and a nice long bath/massage for an evening is a good incentive for us both to have some fun with it.

thankyuh momma.
thankyuh vurymuch.


damn, Lammy...there's bears for every occasion!

oh my!

bondage bear

do they have a master or just the slave?

master bear.

no, silly. i don't need one of those.

i meant the toy.

master bear?

Justin, Lucy is so cute!

Those pictures are super old, but thanks. I certainly agree.

If we had a cute child contest, she would take on and trounce all other competitors.

I'm sure she would.

Looks like Ms. Mutton needs a bell around her neck!

"Stay away from that one, she kicks!!!"

Red Wings vs. Colorado


AND, CO's Adam Foote smashed Stevie Yzerman's mouth and busted out 4 teeth last week, so Hockeytown is ALL sharpening their knives and loading their guns.


I can't wait, I can't wait.


Nuttin' like a bloody game of hockey to a Detroiter. It has so much of what turns us on: Hockey, blood, beer, um. . . more blood, more hockey, BEER (Labatt of course!).

I LOVED watching the playoffs a few years back when those 2 were really ratcheting up the hate levels, made for some damn good, old-time hockey.
And here, I'm stuck with the Bruins, great when I was growing up, now they suck most of the time.

The Wings/Av hatred died down after Lemeuix left a lot, and after Roy retired, it went down to just a fizzle.

But after what Adam Foote did to Stevie (who, in Detroit, is as close to the Messiah as one gets) what he did, the city and team are vowing revenge.

If any of you at all get the chance to watch Saturday's game, whether you are a fan of hockey or not, do so. It should be a hell of a game.

Plus, they are 2 of the best teams, and play the 2 best, most exciting styles of hockey to watch, in the league. While most teams do shitty-assed defensive traps and stuff, the Wings and Avs still play SKILL hockey, built on speed, strategy, talent, scoring, and breakaways.

Huh.
Hockey.
That's the one with the puck, right?

and the mullets.

and the hosers.

and the missing toofers.

I hate sports.
