Agreed.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 13 February 2006 18:33 (twenty years ago)

Um with Dan's statement.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 13 February 2006 18:35 (twenty years ago)

I plan to join together in love the contents of my swollen sinuses with THIS WHOLE PACK OF BOG ROLL. Honk!

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 13 February 2006 18:36 (twenty years ago)

yeah, totally, vd.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 13 February 2006 18:36 (twenty years ago)

yes, thank you.

― sunny successor (katharine), Monday, 13 February 2006 18:36 (twenty years ago)

An itch.

See the Vienna thread.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Monday, 13 February 2006 18:51 (twenty years ago)

I sent out cards to friends. I also sent one to a boy I like, eek.

i plan to give nothing to anyone. on the fifteenth i plan to give myself several dozen assorted chocolates, though.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Monday, 13 February 2006 18:52 (twenty years ago)

a unit to go along with the car stereo I gave for Xmas.

also am cooking filet mignon and yummy heart-shaped cake.

― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Monday, 13 February 2006 18:55 (twenty years ago)

A bicycle lock and a tire pressure gauge. Sehr romantish! My man and I are going to a new strip club in town, check out the herpes simplex.

serious answer: flowers (prolly roses i guess), dinner, maybe chocolates.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 13 February 2006 18:57 (twenty years ago)

a necklace

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Monday, 13 February 2006 18:58 (twenty years ago)

It all depends on whether you can still eat Love Hearts after you've written on them in felt-tip pen.

― Zoe Espera (Espera), Monday, 13 February 2006 19:27 (twenty years ago)

I called a felt-tip pen company a few years ago and asked. The ink is non-toxic. It's ok to eat. Phone research also proved that glitter is safe to eat, if you want to make brownies with a Special Ingredient that isn't the weeds.

― Abbott (Abbott), Monday, 13 February 2006 19:28 (twenty years ago)

Thank you. This helps.

― Zoe Espera (Espera), Monday, 13 February 2006 19:29 (twenty years ago)

― StanM (StanM), Monday, 13 February 2006 20:31 (twenty years ago)

But I plan to send a picture of a flock of birds flying in a heart shape. I'm not going to add any text or anything, because she already has a boyfriend and I'm only the friend.

― StanM (StanM), Monday, 13 February 2006 20:33 (twenty years ago)

I mailed my bf a book on beijing (he's going there in june, hopefully with me in tow) wrapped in a pink tea towel, a love letter & a wooden spoon. the wooden spoon had a little tag on it made from a pink bicycle playing card & said, "spoonful of love." really, i just liked the spoon.

― R. Kelsey (kelstarry), Monday, 13 February 2006 20:41 (twenty years ago)

That's fantastic. I love the spoon, too, and I haven't even seen it!

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 13 February 2006 20:56 (twenty years ago)

i am not giving anything. i am hoping i receive something from a secret admirer, that i might have, but probably don't, though.

― POOP BITCH (Mandee), Monday, 13 February 2006 20:59 (twenty years ago)

Anti gallery: http://fuckvday.com/gallery.html

― StanM (StanM), Monday, 13 February 2006 21:26 (twenty years ago)

I can't hear the phrase "spoonful of love" without going "ew".

― Dan (Biohazard) Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 13 February 2006 21:29 (twenty years ago)

im not giving anything, fuck that, i have $8 in my bank account right now and that's two full packs of smokes

[though i did have my crush over last night for a movie. over the course of our group conversation (as a few of my housemates/mutual friends with crush were there) i not only got made fun of for girlpants, but she also talked about how she wanted some dudes who lived across the street]

fuck lamentines day

― nervous (cochere), Monday, 13 February 2006 21:29 (twenty years ago)

on a less annoyingly jaded note this really is a fantastic thread title

― nervous (cochere), Monday, 13 February 2006 21:45 (twenty years ago)

nervous, she sounds like a dick.

― POOP BITCH (Mandee), Monday, 13 February 2006 21:52 (twenty years ago)

mandee i think it was a lot more jokey than i took it... my friends rib me all the time, but with the way i was feeling at the time (ie just having gone to pick up one of my frat brothers for the movie and seeing the car of exgf i still have deep feelings for parked there as she's started hooking up with another one of them) (ps dont judge me for the frat thing) i just took it the wrong way.

still, i doubt she returns my affection, and i'm not super excited about spending my 20th valentines day in a row alone

― nervous (cochere), Monday, 13 February 2006 21:56 (twenty years ago)

Try telling her that she can use you to perfect the technique she's gonna try out on the dudes across the street.

― Dan (Romcom Solution) Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 13 February 2006 21:57 (twenty years ago)

i agree spoonful of love is corny & promotes ew-ness, but i was charmed by it & needed to tie it into the theme. just to justify, you understand.

― R. Kelsey (kelstarry), Monday, 13 February 2006 22:03 (twenty years ago)

(ps dont judge me for the frat thing)

haha! too late!

― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Monday, 13 February 2006 22:09 (twenty years ago)

I don't know if I'd call the phrase "spoonful of love" "corny", per se.

― Dan (Perhaps "Semeny") Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 13 February 2006 22:11 (twenty years ago)

You could chuck in a 10cc album as well.

― JimD (JimD), Monday, 13 February 2006 22:16 (twenty years ago)

nervous: i thought frat boys got laid, constantly??

― POOP BITCH (Mandee), Monday, 13 February 2006 22:18 (twenty years ago)

Google tells me there are a disproportionate number of recipes that call for a spoonful of love.

― Dan (Ew) Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 13 February 2006 22:19 (twenty years ago)

my friend said she got me a pocket pussy for anti-valentines day. im not sure if shes joking or not. are they fun?

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 13 February 2006 22:26 (twenty years ago)

Here's a hint, Phil; you put your dick in it.

― Dan (Do The Math) Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 13 February 2006 22:27 (twenty years ago)

nervous doesn't look like a frat boy to me.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 13 February 2006 22:27 (twenty years ago)

I don't know what to say to you, Dan Perry. Should the tag have read, "I heart spooning"???

By the way, I don't think you're in Mpls, but that's where I mailed "the spoonful."

― R. Kelsey (kelstarry), Monday, 13 February 2006 22:33 (twenty years ago)

BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS OF (or 4) XPOSTS:

djp: this is a genius answer-- but more seriously the thing that's so stupid about the whole situation is that since i started with my last girlfriend over a year ago i've completely forgotten how to flirt without being really drunk. and since i've just promised myself that i would start restricting my drinking to only 3 nights a week (instead of the 5 or 6 i was doing before) that leaves me little time! plus none of our mutual friends want to help me for some unknown reason

misery: awwww- one day i'll have posted enough to earn my ilx stripes and make it past all the anti-greek sentiment around here. or actually, i was also thinking about depledging (seriously)

mandee: apparently not :( :( :( or, i mean... all of them but me

jaymc: i'll take that as a compliment. it's a bit of a non-traditional frat anyway, i'm not a jock/ladykiller/douchebag and very few of the kids in my house are either

okay i'm done being defensive

― nervous (cochere), Monday, 13 February 2006 22:37 (twenty years ago)

my bff and i are going to eat beans and weenees, drink cheap beer, and watch nascar or wrasslin' or something like that on t.v.

i made a valentine's day card for my boss: "it's valentime for a raise!"

i'm giving it to him with a bar of green & blacks. do you think it'll work?

― ai lien (kold_krush), Monday, 13 February 2006 22:45 (twenty years ago)

Flint's was probably the greatest (a sleeping dog on a dirt floor, indifferent staff, a b&w tv on the counter) but they seem to go out of business about every 8-10 months. I don't know the current status.

― andy --, Wednesday, 15 February 2006 00:26 (twenty years ago)

Oh, Oakland BBQ alert: Chef Edwards has been destroyed to build condos (20th & San Pablo)... don't know if he has a new location.

― andy --, Wednesday, 15 February 2006 00:28 (twenty years ago)

We went to the Little Chef in Dumbarton.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 17:16 (twenty years ago)

had a really nice dinner at regional, this restaurant on broadway between 98th and 99th.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 17:17 (twenty years ago)

I gave my wife a nice pair of diamond earring studs (14K gold). Unfortunately, she did not receive the gift until 11:55 PM because I was stuck at work all evening helping to solve a crisis. Meanwhile, she had gotten us a fancy hotel room and had dinner order in for us, neither of which I really got to enjoy.

― Dan (I Hate Valentine's Day) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 17:52 (twenty years ago)

aw sorry dan.

i also got big lebowski and warriors dvds. rulin'.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 17:56 (twenty years ago)

Dan, no! I am very sorry to hear that.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 17:56 (twenty years ago)

that sucks Dan.

I have to vote in favor of flowers at the office. They're such a nice surprise. Once, many jobs ago, my co-workers had flowers sent to me for my birthday. That was nice.

― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 17:57 (twenty years ago)

i gave my girl flowers in the office yesterday but we work at the same place.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 17:58 (twenty years ago)

i was the only female on my floor who didnt receive a flower/basket/balloon delivery, but im still pro-flowers in the office. it makes everything look prettier and seems to put everyone in a good mood. There are still a bunch of red and silver balloons around today, which is nice.

― sunny successor (katharine), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 18:21 (twenty years ago)

uh oh.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 18:23 (twenty years ago)

oh and i got flowers, a pearlized porcelain cat, and a 3 dvd box set of americas funniest home videos - animals, kids and animals, and the best of the best.

i gave hip flask engraved with initials, shirt, true crime: nyc.

we ate pineapple pizza, drank coca cola and watched the sopranos season 2 final episode.

― sunny successor (katharine), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 18:26 (twenty years ago)

pish. at $70+ a bouquet i say 'save it for AFV'. if others want to pay to decorate the office, thats peachy.

― sunny successor (katharine), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 18:30 (twenty years ago)

i think that it's obvious to anyone reading this that I'm the one making out like a bandit in this relationship.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 18:36 (twenty years ago)

ANIMALS BITING CROTCHES
ANIMALS ATTACKING TODDLERS

she likes the silver chews

― POOP BITCH (Mandee), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 19:03 (twenty years ago)

Madchen wins.

We went to the pub and played pool (we went out for a meal first though, to a lovely proper Chinese/Thai/Japanese fusion restaurant which was brilliant - and completely unexpected in the shithole in which I reside)

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 20:32 (twenty years ago)

i was given PITTSBURGH PENGUIN CUFFLINKS!

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 21:01 (twenty years ago)

I said this on TITTWIS I think but I was given a $100 gift certificate to my local yarn shop! yay!! also a very nice black and pink laptop case and roses and lillies. But yarn, yay!

flowers, a special meal, sexy times, all that standard stuff. I should throw in a nice gift, though, and that part does kinda stump me.

Specifically these spiderman and venom figures. But since it is Valentines Day, they should probably be making out.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 5 February 2008 21:09 (eighteen years ago)

Venom's got the tongue for it.

Gave my wife a gift certificate for a "couples massage" at a local spa. No idea when we'll be able to redeem it though, with our busy schedules and deeply-ingrained inability to let anyone else watch our kids, even for an hour.

Taking my sweetie to see Martina McBride, one of her two all-time favorite singers, in concert tonight. She's never had the chance to see her before.

― Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 14 February 2012 17:29 (fourteen years ago)

Gave a poem (a reworking of an old Augustine poem) only to find I received a poem, and a reworking, too, of a Sappho poem <3

I got sweet treats from my New Mexican lover in the mail. I didn't get her anything! Oh well, she knows how I feel, but I sent her a gushy text message anyway.

― Trip Maker, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 21:53 (fourteen years ago)

Handmade Valentine's day cards are the best. Nice job LL.

I had plans to be with a long-distance gf that fell through because I need to take care of business matters at be home this week. I have nothing prepared for tonight, but maybe that's for the best since unrehearsed, unscripted spontaneity is more romantic than anything contrived and preplanned.
