Gifts for Valentine's Day, 2002?

Posted by Cliff on from the cupid-season! dept.

Telemakhos asks: "This was asked last year, and though hardware may come and go in the course of a year, the mid-February question is eternal: What's Geeky and Good for St. Val's this year? Moreover, if roses aren't yet too bleeding-edge, whence is it best to order them?" Guys, while you are suggesting presents for the ladies, aside from the obvious, what would you like for Cupid Day?

    It's OK to be social, just don't tell anyone about it.

    A sweet note telling how Emperor Claudius beheaded St. Valentine in 270 CE, and compare this to your relationship somehow.

  3. For guys? by Havokmon · · Score: 5, Funny
    You mean guys actually get stuff for Valentines Day? I thought :

    (Quality(Rose)* totalroses) + Quality(dinner) = total_sex_time

    Where Quality() is a seperate program for each chick, based on past total_sex_time :)

  4. The perfect gift... by Jurisenpai · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, since I already have this to match my boyfriend, nothing would be nicer than another T-shirt to proclaim my geekiness to the world.
    And, boys, don't forget to make it a night she won't forget of champagne, roses, chocolates, and patching your kernels together.

      Of course, if you're Australian, 'Got Root' means something completely different...

      I guess a lot of chicks would like a good rooting for Valentine's Day...

  5. What not to get. by saintlupus · · Score: 5, Funny

    What's Geeky and Good for St. Val's this year?

    I'm not sure what my girlfriend is getting this year, but after her last birthday I can assure you that it won't be any sort of kitchen appliance.

    You know, you'd think that if she said so many times she wanted a toaster over, she'd appreciate it more.

    I'm such a lummox.

    Her: "Happy valentine's day!"

    You: "Here's your valentine's day present!"

    (hand her big wide, long, flat box)

    Her: (looks at the wrapping) "Oh wow... you got me a pizza

    You: "nonono! take off the wrapping!"

    Her: (looks at the box) "Oh wow... you got me a big box of chocolates

    I'm a lady, I run Linux. But I also think Valentine's day is RETARDED, as any logic-lovin' geek does.

    This would, of course, be for the girl that has a nice rack?
