What Are the Best Valentine's Day Stunts?
With the oh-so-dreaded Hallmark holiday on the horizon we are flooded with tips and tricks (mostly designed to sell us things our mates cannot live without) of how to please/capture/sedate the ones we care for. One writer even suggests ways to capture the interest of a geeky girl. That said, what are some of the crazier romantically inspired, geeky V-day stunts or activities that you or someone you know has executed to terrible success or failure?
I know. It's out there, but, contrary to my expectations, she didn't totally humiliate me in front of everyone in the cafeteria.
But then I realized the cable was blue, so I only gave it one star. I hate blue.
Chloroform soaked rags always get me the ladies.
Trolling is a art,
Now we just have to determine which method he was martyred by.

Lets see how romantic she thinks giving birth is.
Give me Classic Slashdot or give me death!
I have noticed that my wife tends to really like surprises.
Like jumping out of the closet with a mask made of beef jerky and a butchers knife with a pigs heart stuck on the end? You could write 'I HEART U' with some of the pig blood drippings for that extra pizazz. That would be pretty surprising.
(See, it's the pigs heart that ties it all together.)
Linus and his wife Tove, who is a six-time Finnish national karate champion, met back in 1993 when Linus was teaching a course. He asked the students to send him an e-mail as a test and Tove sent him an e-mail asking for a date (and threatening to break his geeky body worse than his boot loader, should he refuse). And people wonder why Linus has an aversion to mobile phones! Sorry, this was supposed to be a romantic story... Umm, Linus fell... in love with Tove's roundhouse kick.
When that happens, might I suggest the perfect date: Dim the lights, snuggle up close and watch the Aliens movie together.
Nothing says I love you better than "Here, sweetheart, I killed these for you!"
not much, just being forced to manually insert line breaks into my comment
what might be seen as romantic vs. what might be seen as lame or generic, ... , "Ask Slashdot" isn't really a good place for an answer.
You think?!
I cut off my ear and shipped it in a shoebox to a girl I like.
Haven't heard back from her yet.
Or for impressing a geeky girl once could try to execute an injection attack. Just make sure you use a Trojan or you might spawn unwanted child processes.
Push!!
According to my friend's wife, the ironing board he gave her when they were first married is the worst Valentine's Day gift ever.
So you fingered her till she talked to you? Isnt it supposed to be the other way around? Oh i get it you must live in soviet russia.
I wanted to find a nice middle ground between lovers who like to send affection to one another on Valentine's Day and cynics who just want to dress in black and stab bitches, so a few years ago I started a charity at Swarthmore College called NinjaGram. It's pretty simple. You pay us $3, which goes to some charity or other, and fill out a card with a cute logo, and then shadowy assassins stalk your target on 14 February and surprise them with the card when they least expect it, screaming "NIIIIINJAGRAM!" Classes and events get interrupted a lot on Valentine's Day, but the administrators and faculty and public safety officers buy and receive as many as the students do, and besides who wants to argue with ninjas? This Valentine's Day, black is the new pink.
I hate singles awareness day as well :(
And that's the way you do it...
"So after all this, you make my case for me. To end this stalemate, you must die..."
I sent my geek girl a box of comic books, calligraphy and knitting supplies and a Supergirl camisole.
She lives a thousand miles away so we don't get to see each other very often, but I know she'll at least be happy with her box of geek goodies.
What a coincedence! My girlfriend just got box of comic books, calligraphy, knitting supplies, and a Supergirl camisole in the mail from a "friend". Wait a minute...
I got my Girlfriend pregnant, too.
My wife did not find this romantic - well, back to the Appalachian Trail, I suppose.

Send her a push notification on her iPhone after each contraction.
She'll love you forever.
I think you'll find this works better if step 2 is "add 3 months"...
... So kids born in early July were the result of an an April fools joke involving contraception that was tampered with?

Mother, do you think they'll like this sig?
Though a well thought-out stunt may work on a rare occasion, they are much more likely to backfire than a traditional gift. Have flowers and chocolate on hand just in case.
You either need a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Gifts, or a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Girlfriends.

What I'm hoping for is an offer from an organization I've had several interviews with. If I get the offer, I think I might give my current boss a nice card containing a Poem-of-Resignation.
Another idea that isn't quite ready for prime-time is sending lingerie and perfume to a thieving bastard I know in prison. It's not quite ready for prime-time because although he's been caught, he hasn't been to trial/convicted yet.
A card saying "I'd divorce you all over again" containing a coupon for STD screening for my ex-wife would be pretty funny (I caught her cheating).

So this husband forgot Valentine Day and the wife was furious.
She told him in no uncertain terms that tomorrow morning she expected a gift in the driveway that goes from zero to 200 in less than ten seconds - AND IT BETTER BE THERE.
Next morning the husband leaves early. Later the wife awakes and looks out the window to spot a small gift-wrapped box in the driveway. So she puts on a robe and brings the box in the house to open it.
And inside is a brand new bathroom scale.

That, and I'll watch the kids do the laundry and cooking, and let her have some time to herself - Hummmm

Make sure you use Y2KY jelly. It allows you to fit four digits into your date instead of two.
Disconnect your television. Do your own research. Draw your own conclusions. They're probably lying. Don't be a sheep.
