Valentines Day

moron - 2-14-2005 at 01:37 PM

The Hallmark Holiday that every man dreads. Youre either reminded that youre lonely or youre forced to buy overpriced flowers or chocolates for your woman.

So what's everyone doing today? Romantic dinner? Nothing? Sex?

I think Mrs. Moron and I might try to go out to some place for dinner. We're not sure. Neither of us really care about Valentine's day, but what the hell, right? Food is food, and I love to eat out.



An interesting fact that might have plenty of guys moving to Japan....

http://www.thejapanfaq.com/celebrations.html

"There's Valentine's Day here in Japan too. But not quite the same. In Japan, it's the GIRLS who give the boys chocolate on Feb. 14th. And not just to someone they like. There is a uniquely Japanese characteristic of giving "Giri-Choko" -- giving chocolate to the men one would rather see skydiving without a parachute -- the boss, namely. "Giri" means obligation, but in Japan it has a deep sense of long-term committment.

Since gift-giving is a common custom in Japan, many confectionary companies also try to push their own manufactured celebration, "White Day" on March 14th, where it's the boys turn to give the girls something. This attempt has been at best a limited success."

Valentines for me is just like anyother day, never had someone to celebrate it with, and if i did i still wouldnt celebrate it.

hah i dig the stuff, it's fun.

i got my lady a flight to NYC for next weekend. she's an art student, and really wanted to go out while the gates were up in central park, plus there's a bunch of good stuff at the met right now. i can't go, but i called up a friend of ours in brooklyn and planned it all out to suprise her.

moron - 2-15-2005 at 03:39 PM

my girlfriend wants to see the gates too. there's no reason we shouldnt since we fucking live here...

greg hxc - 2-15-2005 at 03:43 PM

christo & jeanne-claude are awesome. i wanted to go too, i haven't been to NYC in years.

Me and my girl had to work valentines day, so basically we are doing something tonight. But I guess it's more like homer simpsons attitude, get drive through and then we're doing it twice. Actually even more romantic, going out for supper, buying Saw and then watching it. Nothing says I love you like violent horror movies.

I couldn't give two shits for that holiday, but I did go and spend a few hours with that girl I'm not REALLY dating rolling around on the bed...and the couch...and the floor...and, well, you get the idea. No romantic bullshit, but the booty was in full effect.

i don't really go in for the pressures of vday... or the overpriced dinners (that require reservations like six months in advance around here). we keep it simple... my wife and i usually get each other one gift and we have a great meal at home (this year was stone crab claws, cheese fondue, chocolate soufflet and a couple bottles of wine). she always makes me a card, and i buy her the gaudiest thing i can find in the hallmark store.

GabeTexasGAMC - 2-16-2005 at 02:44 AM

SAW, so great. bought that fucker tonight, and the Legend of hell house for $5!
i chilled at home.
I read the best thing though some kid said he was gonna stay home and beat on his dick like it owed him money.
Damn that some priceless shit right there.
