Happy Valentine's Day

What the hell is up with this fuggin' holiday?
Are we as Men doomed to ultimately fail on this day?
We need to turn this holiday around so that this isn't the day you blew it. Or failed to be "romantic" enough.
It's a two way street ladies...kick in some "romantic" stuff of your own.

More than you ever wanted to know about Valentine's Day

The day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines". Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards. The Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association estimates that women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines. In the United States, the marketing of Valentine's Day has tagged it as a "Hallmark holiday". A recent trend has been to refer to February 14 as Singles Awareness Day.
When I was a little kid in the late 1960s it was called Saint Valentine's day. But that was shortened and changed in the mid 1970s.
Hopefully your significant other is "into" the holiday as she/he/it expects you to be. And that it's not just a day setup for you to fail.
Have fun kids...and remember what you do today could result in a visit to the hospital 40 weeks from now.

St. Valentines Day - The Perfect Date

Jurgita talks about some ideas for "the perfect date".
I don't know where he/she/it lives...but most of these are no good. But hopefully it will give you some ideas.

Dinner at home - Okay I work til 5pm and by the time I get any dinner done the kids will need to be dropped off at church for their Youth Group stuff.
Total bust, no way.

Picnic in the countryside - Ummm, Okay the windchill yesterday was 15F, it's 9F today. The wind is gusting 25-30mph outside. And it's snowing. No way.
Frostbite not sexy.

Dancing - Okay not really an option in the middle of the week in Norman. And it would be "club dancing" and we just aren't into that anymore.
Cigarette smoke not cool, club scene is dated for 40 year olds.

City tours - We've been everywhere in our town. My wife isn't into "history stuff". I guess we could drive around and reminisce about all the places we've "done it" or had a romantic connection with her. Don't share all the "other" romantic connections.
Actually this might not be too bad. If you could come up with a cute thing for each place, like share a picture of you both when you lived there, haunted there, whatever. And maybe a note about your feelings about her back then.

A Walk - See "Picnic in the countryside" weather related. I guess we could go to the YMCA and walk.
YMCA not a sexy, Valentine's, destination. Bad plan.

Well there you have it. DDDN suggests you get your gal and take her on your own personalized tour of your life with her. Include the first place you ever saw her, first date locations, places you lived together in, the place you may have proposed, favorite place you two went together, and of course places you had "romantic" encounters with her.
Good luck, boys and girls.

And if you find yourself unattached this St. Valentine's Day....Singles Awareness Day..

His Money + Her Looks = a Match

Feb. 8, 2007 — A speed-dating event took place last night in New York City with very unusual criteria. The 40 men all had to be wealthy, and the 40 women all had to be beautiful.
Male entry fee = 500$, female entry fee = 30$...uh WTF?
If you think cause you have money and she is hot, that you will be happy then you are sadly mistaken.
This is a simple money grab. On the part of the women and on the part of the event organizers.

Iraq says closes borders with Syria, Iran

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's government said on Tuesday it would close its borders with Syria and Iran and extend the hours of a night curfew in Baghdad under a U.S.- backed security plan to rein in violence in the capital.
Where there's smoke, there are foreign agents causing terror. This is a good move. Like I said last week. If they made these inlets highways of death by destroying any and all inbound traffic from them I think they'd see many secondary explosion from the vehicles and incidents would slow down in the capital.

U.S. says "sophisticated weaponry" hit chopper in Iraq

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A transport helicopter that crashed in Iraq last week killing all seven on board was brought down by a "sophisticated piece of weaponry," the U.S. military said on Wednesday. It was the first time they acknowledged that insurgents could be using complex weapons to attack its helicopters in Iraq.
And where do you get this kind of weapon...hmmmmm I wonder maybe...FROM SATAN! Nah. probably just Iran or Syria. And just who do you think is paying for those bad boys?

God, Darwin clash again in Kansas

OVERLAND PARK, Kansas (Reuters) - For the fourth time in eight years, the Kansas Board of Education is preparing to take up the issue of evolution and what to teach -- or not teach -- public school students about the origins of life.
And for the fourth time in eight years it's time for you to MOVE TO ANOTHER STATE!!!
This crap is ridiculus. You can't teach scientific method next to creationism. It will never work.

=HPSF=Jarhead turns in these two reports
Nigerian kidnappers release hostages

ABUJA, Nigeria (CNN) -- A group of 24 Filipino hostages kidnapped more than three weeks ago have been freed, a spokesman for Baco-Liner, their employer, said Tuesday.
The original headline as quick thinking editor changed was...
Nigerian kidnappers release seamen.
Which in itself is not much of a story. Probably happens all the time on Nigerian ocean going vessels, prisons, dates with =HPSF=Agentk12.

Anna Nicole Smith Wasn't First Playboy Pinup to Die Tragically

Anna Nicole Smith wasn't the first Playboy pinup to die a tragic and unexpected death while she was still young. On the contrary, the soft porn enterprise has lost a number of Playmates and others who posed in the magazine to drug overdoses, murder and suicide over its 53-year history.
Yeah like we thought she was the first?

Paula Abdul: `I've never been drunk'

NEW YORK - Paula Abdul's spacy behavior on "American Idol" has prompted many to ponder if there's a tumbler or two of booze in that red cup on the table in front of her on the Fox talent contest. That's nonsense, the 44-year-old "Idol" judge tells Us Weekly magazine in its Feb. 16 issue. "I've never been drunk. I have never done recreational drugs," she says. "Just look at my 20-year career.
Stay tuned for other revelations from Paula like:
I've never had sex.
I've never been in a music video.
I've never had any talent.
I've never danced at a Laker's basketball game.

And now Sports

It ain't just "drive fast, turn left".

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - NASCAR took its strongest stance against cheating Tuesday, suspending the crew chiefs for Matt Kenseth, Kasey Kahne, Scott Riggs and Elliott Sadler and docking all four drivers points before the season-opening Daytona 500 for failing inspections.
There's been cheating for years. Back in the day the crew chiefs would put lead weight the size of BB's in the panels. And as the race began they would pull the plugs allowing the BB's to fall out over the course of the race. Making the cars lighter and faster as the race progressed. Or that's what I heard anyway.

English springer spaniel becomes top dog

NEW YORK - An English springer spaniel with a preference for chicken-and-garlic treats prevented America's top dog event from turning into "The Cosby Show."
We used to raise English Springers when I was a kid.

I hate Valentines day! Not because I am obligated to do something nice/ romantic for my girlfriend, but because all the nice things we do through the year dont mean sh$t unless you are sweet today! Luckily I explained my out look on Valentines day to my girl friend and she is pretty cool about it, so I got out pretty easy! She doesnt think we are celebrating today, but because she was so understanding about today..... I am going to surprise her, by taking her out ball room dancing tonight!!!
