Ok, at risk of invoking the rage of catholics everywhere, in my own little world I am dumping St Valentine and putting St. Quirinus, patron saint against obsession in his place.
No more will we have to put up with listening to the slurpy slurpy suck suck noises of couples who are too old to blame it on their hormones!
No longer will we watch agast as the commercial world leaps onto the bandwagon in an attempt to suck even more money out of our pockets in the name of the twee and the offensively cheap looking!
no longer will we rage in vain when our favorite returants become booked out by couples guilt tripped into showing each other a bit of affection!
Ney!
Ok, so this is brought to you by the fact that I have had to extremely crap trips into work this weekend. And today it was made even worse by the fact that I had to sit and grin and bear it whilst a couple sat and...well, i'm not sure what they were dooing, from the angles I'd say he was sucking her nose and she was vigourously licking his chin - take all sorts I suppose...
Even the bloody pigeons are at it! Mind you... the pigeons are always at it.
I even went bast a Law firm that had paper hearts and little cupids in their window. Lawyers? with hearts? Has the world gone mad?!?!?!
Any way, I'm re-arranging the catholic calendar to suit my self (its not a new idea trust me) And installing St Quirinus as a possible stop cap against the tacky hallmark barrage.
And to celebrate (and because we've all been a bit listless of late) I propose a game...
OF CALVINBALL!!!
*dons a gasmask and the original pink tutu*
who's with me?

ooops!
I don't beleive anyone should need a excuse to share candy, flowers and gifts with their counterpart. However I do approve of the Spanish holiday: books and lovers day. Couples exchange books and roses, the literature is often tastefully erotic. It's a bit more grown up than Valentines day and at least in my neck of the woods has yet to be discovered for commercial exploitation.
As always I will have to sit out this round of Calvinball as local strategic arms limitation treaties dissalow the use of flash-bang grenades and I'm fresh out of Mexican dynamite.

They're gone! Phew!
All I can say is that last Valentine's Day things were going well in the virtual 'verse. That is, right up until I was splattered with Spam. Fired from Spamguns, no less. Guess there's a lesson to be learned.

I have to say I kinda like the idea of books and lovers day, even if the idea of someone giving me a naughty (even tastefully naughty) book slightly mortifying.
Is it a sign of my total dorkdom that when you said books and lovers I immedietly thought of Shepard Book and thought 'ooo er'?
right, the serious busines of calvin ball.

(i'm sad to say that I was fighting the impulse last night to get up and teach people how to do the macarena, its a dance that I have never done on pure principal, yet I can do it better than those egits, *flounces off Miss Piggy style*)

What's Valentines day?
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.
