Your Valentine's Day Plans for 2003?

Nos. writes "Valentine's Day is rapidly approaching, and though some of you Slashdot readers will be spending the day alone, there must be some of you out there who won't. So, what are you doing for that someone special this Feb 14th? My fiance is not a geek, and so wouldn't appreciate a 'geeky Valentine's'. Instead, I'm thinking a nice quiet dinner in one of our favourite restaurants. However, I recently got the 'You don't do anything romantic anymore' speech, and quite honestly am out of ideas. Can slashdot help? Obviously slashdot isn't the best place to ask, but I'm sure others are in a similar situation."

This sounds like fun....

Hi,

Dear /. community members. Please don't tell me your valentine's day plans. I really don't need to know. More importantly, you don't need to tell me. Just don't do it. The entire frigging world doesn't need to feel all 'together' by telling each other anonymous details about Valentine's day. If you're really that addicted, just get a blog and be done with it. In fact, for future reference these are some other things well worth not sharing with every random stranger:

1. Your approach to long term financial management
2. What you're going to do when you mom comes to stay next month.
3. Your preferred brand of dishwasher, and why.
4. How you deal with awkward family moments, like funerals of uncles you never really knew that well to begin with.
5. How you brush your teeth.
6. Poetry you write.
7. Anything about Ayn Rand.
8. Your opinion, based on ample experience, on how to deal with failed relationships.
9. How much high school sucked for you personally.
10. Anything about Anne Rice.

Good, I'm glad that's cleared up. Can we go back to interesting stuff now?

Well, for starters, I don't mind Great Big Blowing Void Day that much. Because I don't want kids, I don't need a girlfriend, and that makes GBBVD much cheaper. Not having kids saves me thousands a year in expenses, plus tens of thousands of year in college savings requirements. If I had a wife and kids, I wouldn't be able to retire by 40.

My Mom's dead, you insensitive clod! All because my uncle fucked up when repairing her Whirlpool. It's Maytag all the way for me. Thankfully, I got the uncle back a few weeks ago - hey, Uncle, bet you don't know why Aunt Peg was walkin' funny through the whole famn damily reunion!

Avoid spin brushes,
They don't get pubes out at all,
Aunt Peg told me so

Anyways, I don't need or want a girlfriend for GBBVD, but if I had one, I'd be sure to make sure she's the kind of gal who meets the criteria of my values system and who liked it rough. Hey, it's all about Love and Selfishness.

And what is it with women, anyways? I emailed that essay to my last girlfriend and she never spoke to me again. Then, after dissing me about Rand, she went out with some goddamn architecture student who banged her like he was on the Gong show. Shows you what she knew. Last I heard, she dumped him for a vampire fetishist who enjoyed the Sleeping Beauty series.

God, high school sucked.

The best gift

Give her an orgasm, that usually works...

OK, I gave your girlfriend the orgasm. Now can I get back to the Q3A fragfest I had planned?

My plan:

My plan:

1 - Stay home
2 - Burp
3 - Flatulate
4 - Scratch myself
5 - Call an escort service

I'll probably have more fun than you.

Every 14th of February you get the chance to display your fondness for your
wife or girlfriend by showering her with gifts, flowers, dinner, shows and
any other baubles that women find romantic.

Every Valentines Day you rack your brains for that one special, unique gift
that will show your wife or girlfriend that you really love them more than
anything. Now ladies, I'll let you in on a little secret. Guys really don't
enjoy this that much. Sure seeing that smile on your face when we get it
right is priceless, but that smile is the result of weeks of blood, sweat
and consideration. Another secret guys feel left out. That's right, left
out. There's no special holiday for the ladies to show their appreciation
for the men in their life. Men as a whole are either too proud or just too
embarrassed to admit it. Which is why a new holiday has been created.
March 20th is now officially "Steak and Blowjob Day". Simple, effective and
self-explanatory.

This holiday has been created so you ladies finally have a day to show your
man just how much you love him. No cards, no flowers, no special nights on
the town. The name of the holiday explains it all. Just a steak and a
blowjob. That's it. Finally, this twin pair of Valentines Day and Steak and
Blowjob Day will usher in a new age of love as men everywhere will try THAT
much harder in February to ensure a more memorable March! It's like a
perpetual love machine. The word is already beginning to spread, but as with
any new idea, it needs a little push to start the ball rolling.

Trying not to weep openly in public

[GooseKirk]

I have lots of fun things in mind for Valentine's Day!

- Trying not to weep openly in public

- Trying not to think about all the great sex my ex-girlfriends must be having right about now

- Stockpiling cheap hooch, 'cause once you get started, it can be tough to find the booze store when you need more

- Finding a comfortable, out-of-the-way gutter

- Maybe looking into that heroin addiction idea I've been kicking around

That's all I've got planned so far... anyone else have ideas?

Coincidence???
