Happy Valentines Day!

OceanBlueKirby · 02/14/2008, 01:33 PM

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
the TurboGrafx-16 is awesome,
and so are the games!

I hope that each of the members here have a wonderful Valentine's Day. Even if your gift to your loved one is not yet purchased, you still have time to buy and bring one. For all of you, since Nat was expecting these from me, I give you a box of chocolates for your delight!

Enjoy

!

Valentine's Day is for uncreative doods. Why give a gift to your loved one on this particular day? I haven't even mentioned it to mine. Why not be interesting and do it some other, individually special day, or even once every week (or various random days)?

This commercial day needs to be banned (kind of like myself).

NecroPhile · 02/14/2008, 02:50 PM

It's too late now, but these are the perfect gift for a gamer girlfriend (a rare beast). Happy Hallmark holiday to whoever gives a shit. Tomorrow's even worse - 'Random Acts of Kindness Day'.

Sinistron · 02/14/2008, 02:58 PM

some of my girlfriend's tastes have developed straight out of my turbografx love. For instance- last Christmas among her gifts were Doraemon slippers and a Doraemon doll. She loves them- doesn't walk around the apartment without the slippers on. If I could find something with Bubby and Bobby in human form she'd eat that shit up too.

I'm curious to see how she reacts to that

- although I agree with your statement. I remember my first V-day as a married man in line at the florist with all the other beaten men - it was sad and defeating!!

That's logic. Logic doesn't apply to Valentine's Day. Participate or face the wrath of the female majority.

OldRover · 02/14/2008, 10:08 PM

Neither my wife nor I give two shits about this day. We worked as usual all day long, and laughed at all the sorry suckers out there who fall for this bullshit year after year. I love February 14th.

No offense just another day on the calendar to me.

So very true

OceanBlueKirby · 02/15/2008, 12:22 AM

It seems that there are a bunch of users who dislike Valentine's Day, for whatever reason that would be from having too many heartbreaks to being a nuisance. I've came up with a poem that would suit these individuals:

Valentine's Day, oh Valentine's Day.
I curse you for all the hatred that you bring,
for all the pain that you sing,
and for all the taunting mushiness that you ring.
No enjoyment is such a thing!

Valentine's Day, oh Valentine's Day.
Cupid deserves to burn in hell.
Chocolates give me stomachaches,
The flowers die off eventually,
And for the kisses and hugs,
Sometimes with cards,
They'll all be forgotten, too.
It's not worth it either way.

Valentine's Day, oh Valetines Day
At least you only last for a single one.
That is the one thing
Making me sleep well.

It seems that actually a lot of people I've seen online don't care about this day, but it is a celebration of love, and it is a good holiday to me either way (especially if it comes with chocolates and stuffed animals

). In fact, it's been a pretty good day to get married here in Las Vegas, as the wedding chapels were pretty busy as I've heard on the news.

OldRover · 02/15/2008, 12:50 AM

Valentine's Day is a commercial holiday located approximately halfway between Christmas and Easter. It's a necessary event to keep retail sales up during the off-season. That's one of the reasons I don't celebrate it. The other one is the lame-ass reasons people give FOR celebrating it..."it's a day to celebrate your love for somebody!". Well shit, if you need a holiday reminder to NOT BE A FUCKING JACKASS TOWARDS YOUR PARTNER, you've got bigger problems to deal with. And besides, all the stupid bullshit people do on February 14th...my wife and I do this kind of stuff for each other almost every day of the year. We don't need a moronic commercial holiday to tell us how or when to do it, and we're not going to do it just because it's 'expected of us'. It loses all meaning if you do these things just because it's a social norm.

Hobo Xiphas · 02/15/2008, 12:53 AM

I understand what you and Seldane are saying, but there is no need to get all RAGE AGAINST THE CORPORATE MACHINE about it.

Or do you do this with Christmas, Native American Day, and Casimir Pulaski Day too?

Actually, Las Vegas is typically known as Sin City. We used to have a more family-friendly environment with more theme parks and kid-friendly activities, but a large sum of money was lost and not enough of it was gained from them, so it had to return to being Sin City again. With the large amount of growth we've been dealing with, some folks had worried in past years that it could become another Los Angelos.

Don't forget, too, that President's Day is on Monday, so be sure to enjoy the day off of work and school, and celebrate it any way you do

Yeah, that day is a joke, along with 95% of the other holidays during the year. Just another excuse to let the fucking mail back up.

Nonsense, you're what, 19? I've known tons of people younger than you to have gotten married.

All kidding aside though, I agree about waiting on marriage until you're older. Most 19 and 20 year olds I know that have gotten married got divorced within a few years, sometimes less.

Who wants to get married? It's a bunch of sharing and caring and all that hippy shit, plus it means extra responsibility and comittment, and also NOW YOU HAVE TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON SOMEONE ELSE AS WELL.

Fuck that noise. I was born single, I'm living single, I WILL DIE SINGLE.

I never thought I would quote Jay-Z, but it you're having girl problems, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one.

Sorry, but society demands you get married. If you don't, society might think you're a gay homosexual.

He also spent the days before Valentines day doing that. Btw, that kirby poem sounded like it went to the tune of "Oh Christmas tree" lol

Does that mean straight?

What about a lesbian trapped in a man's body?

Joe Redifer · 02/16/2008, 12:42 AM

If a lesbian is "trapped" in a man's body, then that means that man wishes he didn't have a penis.

guyjin · 02/16/2008, 12:54 AM

or that he really likes fish tacos.

Joe Redifer · 02/16/2008, 05:14 AM

No, I'm pretty sure he hates being a male if he is "trapped" in a man's body. He wants desperately to be a woman and have a pussy. He'll probably get his penis filleted into a vagina soon enough. But a lesbian trapped in a man's body is just a pre-op transsexual.

Really? So it's true? I always thought this stuff about doods worrying about not being married and shit in EVERY (American) tv-show and movie ever was just some cliche that MUST be talked about in every movie or tv-show......not in reality. I guess I was wrong.

Of course there's need for it. The corporate machine sucks. A lot! It must be criticised at every possible chance you get! Down with everything!!!!!

ParanoiaDragon · 02/16/2008, 04:50 PM

I don't give a rat's arse about Valentines Day, it's just a day where lot's of people, try to get into other people's pants. And the corp's exploit that, just more money to waste. With that being said, I'm married, & it's because I wanted to be. Not only do I not want to be alone, but, I want to have someone to love me, & for me to love. I can't imagine living my entire life single, & am extremely grateful that God blessed me with a wonderful wife, especially because, I thought I'd never find anyone. I'm a very shy person, it's hard for me to make friends, atleast, close friends, since I never know what to talk about with people. But, Jehovah blessed me with someone that I feel I needed(& still need) in my life. She also feels that I am needed in her life. We both have improved the quality of our lives, thanks to eachother, & Jehovah helping us get together.

What's wierd, is that, before we started dating, I didn't really know her. But, I remember when she moved into our area, that I had a slight crush on her, as I thought she was particularly cute when she was working at a movie theater. Someone even told her I was interested in her. But, we never did anything about it. Then, probably about 5 years later, we got to get to know eachother, & things blossomed from there.

ParanoiaDragon · 02/17/2008, 02:31 AM

I know, I'm just one of the few that doesn't care too much about sex, it takes too long & it's messy. Not that I don't get horny, I do, I'm human, but, the whole Valentines thing to me is ridiculous, but even more so thanks to the commercial aspect of it all.

Many Christians give praise to God for their good fortune. Some also blame the devil for their misfortune. Some pagans equate The Fates to both good and bad fortune. Satanists usually use the phrase 'Hail Satan' when something goes right, giving praise to themselves. It's just what people do. It may seem silly to some, but it's not really something to ridicule people about.

Seldane · 02/17/2008, 10:38 AM

ParanoiaDragon · 02/17/2008, 04:30 PM

Ofcoarse, there's no way I can know for 100% certainty that God gave me my wife. It's not like a giant hand came out of heaven with a woman in it, & placed her on the ground next to me, & said "here's your wife to be". But, just various circumstances back then seem like she was almost given to me in a way. But, I personally don't believe in miracles, I don't think that Jehovah goes around creating miraculous things for people, but, I do believe that he helps in various situations. But, once again, it's not like there's a giant flashing neon sign saying that you were helped by God.

guyjin · 02/17/2008, 05:03 PM
