Well here's my update. Not that it rivals Toolman's or Lynn's in good humor, nor even the best in self pity.

 

I did some good work in the needle chucking field yesterday.

Lectured a friend that even though I fully agree that Valentine's day is over commercialized, he should not pass up an excellent excuse to tell his wife he loves her in any way he thinks will make them both happy.

Tied up a bunch of flies for donation to Reeling and Healing.

Made myself a dinner of garlic smashed potatos and peas (that's the self pity part).

Read my emails from my beloved. He did not get my Valentine's e-card. He trotted out some of the brand new French that he learned on his business trip to Switzerland to sweet talk me and claimed he did not know that the Swiss make chocolate. He gets home tonight. I think I'll bake a cake.

 

I think he's yankin my chain. On the chocolate part, that is.

Well. At least I made it home and had a candlelight dinner with the funbuster. No flowers... I gave her a handmade card though... melted her like butter.

 

And then the evening went south. I had to sit through West Side Story. Now don't get me wrong, but the only gangs that would be dancing around like that NOW, would be the ones with a misguided sexual orientation... heh... :blink::blink: jee whiz anyways... I actually laffed my arse off at most of it, the cheese factor was very high.

IF you want to blame anyone for Valentine's day then blame the Catholic church. This was originally a Greek festival when on that day the priests would pair up couples for a years sexual congress. This did not sit well with the latter religion and it was banned until that jerk Valentine came along and changed it - served him bloody well right as he was executed by his church later on.

 

So why waste money on one certain day when you can probably save a bundle by taking him or her out some other time and not get ripped off by the commercialisation that surrounds it now.

 

If it is for couples then why is it biased 99% in favour of the female?

$11.99 for 183 grams of Turtles. That's $27.50 a pound. No commercialization there now is there?

Wow! What a bunch of syrupy romantics!

 

If you're complaining about spending money on flowers and chocolate on a particular day - you don't get it. Valentines is just an opportunity to show a special someone (male or female) that you care. Society assumes that women want flowers & chocolate but I think all that women want is a token that their guy appreciates them (the more personalized - the better).

 

As for guys, like I said, it's easy to know what you want.

Hmmm girls think we are so easy to figure out.... "we know what guys want"..... not true sometime we would just like to come home to a big boquay (boocay, bouquet I dunno) of flowers or a singing candygram or a string quartet at work..... Maybe some cuddling round a warm fire or just some talking..... were not so 1 track minded as you think......

I drove 680kms to get this big lug for Valentine's. It was a hit. Plus now I get to have someone else carry a bunch of gear this summer! (No, not my GF, the dog!)

Now, if you can just train him to crap heart-shaped turds, it'll be like Valentine's several times

a day for many years to come... ;)

I'm all about polygamy. My flyrods, my guns and my icefishing rods. They don't fight with each other, they don't talk back, they're low maintenance and largely cost-free. Lube job and a workout now n then and all is well. What more do you need?

Sure Tako, we all know you're talking about your blow up doll collection.
