Okay guys (ok, just some of you)You say you're slick,
You say you're suave,
You know that Johnny Bravo doesn't stand a chance against you,
You know Pepe LePew stinks,
You say that you're hopeless romantics that can turn the most frigid of women into quivering puddles of love pudding
I didn't say which part of her is quivering, down boy!
Valentine's day is approaching ... what would you do, and what do you want?

Sit in my room with the blinds closed and the lights off hoping that I'll sleep through the rest of the day. Fuck all stupid, it's still a month away!

Hmmm... I got to get cracking. I usually have a plan by now, but this year I'm slacking. Some of my best past ideas included kidnapping my gf and taking her to Baja to eat fish tacos and drink champagne on the beach while the sun went down. I brought a picnic basket full of goodies as well. One year I left her notes to follow that led to a room at a hotel just a block away (so we could run back to the house for anything she needed). Another V-Day I had a day all planned out for her at the spa. Mud, facial, wrap and waxing (ok ..the waxing was for me).
I don't know about this year though ...but I do know it will include sending a big ass bouquet of flowers to her work. Here's a tip for the guys - if the flowers you send her dwarf all the flowers the other girls in the office get, you win! The prize you ask? Remember the quivering puddle?

My g/f is getting the weekend in Napa, which includes Dinner at the french laundry, spa, and a glider ride. What I want?.... her to get a brazilian!

Valentine's day sucks, same with Christmas...to fucking commercial, buy, buy, buy... I try to be sweet and nice to my gf everyday, I don't wait for the calendar to tell me to be romantic.I just fucking hate those hollidays...
Posted by Nikita on Jan. 24 2002,23:51
yea I agree, but it gives me a "better" excuse to skip out of the lab and go do something really crazy or disgustingly heart-string pulling ... 
Damn lab nazis.

Ha, freaky I wrote exactly the same thing in a post on another forum just a couple of days ago.Quote me from other place:
You see, the thing is, anyone who knows me will know that I hate Valentines day, as do I hate easter, and all the other dumb holidays that don't mean anything to me.
I don't know who this Valentine guy is so what's it to me to have a special day about it.
I'm not christian, so it would make me a hypocrite to celebrate Easter or Christmas (fair enough I celebrate xmas through habit, I like having things given to me).
New years, YES. it's a new year of course it apllies to me.
My birthday, and other peoples birthdays, YES because it means something. It means congratulations you survived another year on this putrid vomit stained whole of a planet without hanging yourself... Well done!
But why should I do anything on Valentines day... I show people that I care about them all year round, surely that means more than being a sheep and doing what everyone expects of me.

Take to the belltower with a semi auto rifle (working a bolt leaves too much time for the other half of a couple to run)

Ever the romantic, each Valentines Day i climb the local tower and play Cupid for the unsuspecting masses below.This year however, instead of the traditional yet inefficient bow and arrows, i've opted for the russian made 7.62mm Dragunov SVDS self-loading sniper rifle with illuminated optical sight.
True love, after all, isn't sposed to miss.

whine whine whine, bitch bitch bitch.No wonder you people are all alone, while Wiley over there is getting action everyday of the week.
Even I can see the difference here.. and I'm all alone as well.
Although i think i see an end in sight for that..
now if you'll excuse me, I have a gun to clean

Ph34r m3, I have the hair of Sephiroth, the speed of the Battousai, the power of a Eva, and a 6 foot fucking Katana. I have proclaimed your death and thus it is inevitable, prepair to see the Battoujutsu performed with a 6 foot katana.
Posted by Spydir on Jan. 25 2002,01:56
you have a fucking katana? Did you buy that to make a porn competitor for fuckingmachines.com (or whatever)? Isn't that kind of dangerous, though?
Posted by Spydir on Jan. 25 2002,02:00
as for what I'm doing for v's day... probably nothing. No girlfriend to celebrate with, but I might pick up something nice for a female friend of mine (she's got a sister and whatnot 
), and I've been trying to come up with a good way of striking up a conversation with this really cute girl in my lunch, but I got no clue how to do it (other then just walking up and saying "I like how you dyed your hair, it looks really cool" and praying it goes better off from there)...valentines day always gets me so depressed. DAMN YOU PEOPLE AND YOUR SIGNIFIGENT OTHERS! DAMN YOU HEEELLLLLLLL!!!! ;p
Posted by DeadAnztac on Jan. 25 2002,03:14
Yes, I'm also 8' tall, that's why I can perform the Battoujutsu with a 6' foot Katana.
Posted by Non on Jan. 25 2002,03:58
You just need really long arms to preform Battoujutsu with a 6' katana.Hey Neo on the 7.62mm Dragunov SVDS self-loading sniper rifle I don't see how the term self loading applies as you have to put in the magazine and pull the bolt back... unless I am missing something.
I have no plans for V-day since I have no gf, but as far as what I want... I will take Anna Kournikova and some whipped cream... mmmm....

last year, for $15, I got a group of 15 frat guys dressed in tuxes to sing "brown eyed girl" to this hot chick I liked. She was totally shocked, plus half the girls in the building were envious and swooning over me :cool:

I'm aware, height and Arm span are about 1:1
Posted by Non on Jan. 25 2002,08:18
Yes they are, but height is not the determining factor... the way you say it is false logic.

Interesting... CK told a great plan and no one mentions it.I realize he was the local pariah, but what he outlined would be effective.
On the other hand...
Here's to putting roofies in your mouth and offering to try her drink first.

Now that's thinking. Added bonus in the fact that there were other females who saw this going on ...I don't know why it is, but if you do something nice and your chick's friends see you doing it then it counts double. If my calculations are correct then you should have already been having sex with her by the time the song ended.

Well its my birthday and once again I am still single. So the usual sit around the house. Watch tv and do nothing.Bah .. stupid V-Day

even if you don't have a significant other i'm sure you guys have fantasized about valentine's day (you sick fucks). Come on, not even a girl that you have a crush on? Jeez if I didn't know better ... what better day to get some? Pfht
And here's the pic to go w/ that quote:

I'm probably gonna pray that this year, nobody writes a false valentine's card and forges my signature so that one of the best friendships I have gets destroyed. Other than that, I'll probably try to avoid shopping the whole week before (it makes me depressed to see all this "loving couple" stuff, and it makes me angry to see how love is turned into commerce). I'll get myself a lot of chocolates
(if nobody else gives me chocolates for V-Day, I can very well buy them myself!
, so I'll at least get my endorphines. Other than that, V-Day will be just a normal Thursday, and I will surely NOT take it as an excuse to embrace/kiss any of my male friends at choir. That would be sort of... cheap, I dunno.Now, as to V-Day ideas... if I had a b/f, I could put some of them into practice. Guess he would be a happy guy. But as things are... no need to even write them down because I won't need them for another couple years.

it's a semi automatic if i'm not mistaken. you shouldnt have to reload each bullet between each firing.
Posted by Jimi on Jan. 25 2002,18:50
Cheer up Liney, we all love ya. xxxAt the end of the day the way that I look at V-Day (Whether i'm single or not) it cheers me up because it just reminds me once again how just plain silly the world is.
<Sarcasm>w0tt, oh it's valentines day lets all spend over the odds money on flowers and wine and get rejected... Yey
</sarcasm>
Although i'm not single this year I am however rebeling, and this will make me sound like a cunt, but I am usually a very sweet romantic guy. I am rebeling because my G/F knows my views on it, and i'm too skint to do anything so if she doesn't like it i'm affraid it's tough.
I refuse to play that game, I don't understand why almost everyone I know thinks it should just be the guy who works his ass off trying to get the best resturaunt and the best wine and flowers while the girl just sits there and enjoys it. Fuck that I show that I care and that she means so much to me all the time, she just giggles incessantly. I want someone to make an effort for me for a change.
I'm done, but fuck knows i'll end up doing something anyway because i'm a soppy git and I can't help it. I do have a few things planned but whether my bitterness will get the better of me and I won't do anything we shall see.
Posted by Non on Jan. 25 2002,19:10
It is semi-auto... maybe "self loading" is the russian term for semi-auto.
Posted by Nikita on Jan. 25 2002,19:18
succhiacazzi, iesu ...ok,no wine, no flowers, no stupid restaurant ... that's |perfectly| fine. Hell, I'd feel bad if a guy spent exorbitant amounts of money for a shitass rose that's only going to wilt in a day or two .... Why rape your wallet when you can do something creative?
And from what I've seen, the vast majority of you guys have oodles of creative mojo shimmying in the upstairs (ok so maybe the downstairs would get some shimmying in too, but that all depends on the execution of the plans of the upstairs ... j/k
*hugs*)Ok, so it's commercialized, like christmas and all the jingle jangle ding dong a schmangle ... but can the bah-humbug (no, not that kind of hum) for a sec and cheer up - hell, do something nice for your mom, grandma, or the lonely old lady next door. Plus, you can always throw moldy eggnog at couples exhibiting excessive PDA in public
Wiley's da reigning pimpdaddy so it seems.

That's not fair, wiley's got cash... How ever of all the things I have come up with over the years the idea of the notes leading to a certain place is a damn genius Idea. Although I have already voiced my views doesn't mean I'm not going to be working on it. You will probably see a post from me when it gets a bit closer letting you know what i'm doing.

The cash only comes into play if I can't think of anything better. The note trail worked out nice. I taped a card to the front door so that when my gf got home she would see it. Inside it said "See Nightstand" and then I had a card on the nightstand with a not that said "Look on the TV", and a card on the TV. This went on for a bit ...in the oven, in the microwave, on the mirror, and the final card containing the hotel, the room number and the room key. When she got there I had flowers, rose petals on the bed (that I got for free from the florist ...they spend all day pulling of a few petals from each rose to make them look fresher and usually just throw them out) and a stuffed bear and dinner waiting in the room. The entire night is really not that hard on the wallet depending on your choice of hotels, gifts and dinner. ;)
Posted by Jimi on Jan. 25 2002,22:06
I'll definatly look into it, at the moment she is 100% convinced that I hate the whole thing and that i'm doing nothing for her so I think it would be quite good if a make sure she is with moe most of the day and all I go on about is how much it annoys me... Then tada big mega super fantastic surprise!!! w00tage
Posted by Spydir on Jan. 26 2002,02:40
wiley's card thing sounds like something l33t_h4x0r_d00d did, or said he did in a a old thread like this... unless i somehow got someone confused or got names confused...
Posted by Vlamor on Jan. 26 2002,06:28
I wonder if a girl would fall for < that >.
Posted by LiNeY on Jan. 26 2002,18:11
Vlamor, the answer to your question is short and simple: NO.
Posted by askheaves on Jan. 26 2002,18:29
I'm not a fan of Valentine's Day. I haven't had a good one yet, really. All of them had some reason to suck. Usually not my idea to make it suck, just sort of happens.So, I choose to ignore that it exists. I'll celebrate Groundhog's Day extra hard.

Well, that depends on the mode of sucking that goes on.
And if it just sorta happens, you don't have anything to complain about ....
j/k
really. I'm trying to wake up ...
