Yes!

Oooohh! Nice literary allusion, Frank.

We on the right are well read.

And all this time I thought it was devised as a distraction by Haliburton to secure contracts in war torn countries and poverty stricken areas. Boy did I ahve that one wrong.

Gary Coleman for President!

wOOT!

I kind of expected a "BUSH LIED, PEOPLE DIED!" response. There's a little disappointment here, to be perfectly honest

I thought it was George Washington Carver. He made it out of peanut byproducts.

Laurence,
I did too, but then I went to snopes and found out that was just an urban legend.

I believe the correct title is, "Singles Awareness Day."

If you listen to the North Korean propaganda, (sorry, it's fast becoming a theme for me) Jonger invented Valentine's Day in response to the demands of the people that another holiday be created in which they can lavish their Dear Leader with love and affection.

No, It is Singles Discrimination Day. I'm already bloody aware of the singles. This is my special day to discriminate against them!

It burns! It BURNS!

Love & Miss Haversham both.

I thought it was invented by Saint Hallmark and Saint Whitman

I thought John Kerry invented it while serving in Vietnam... He did get some purple hearts or something right?

I was expecting another round of Jesus being the answer. Shows what I know! :o)

Pip: A person with a heart wouldn't kill two cute bunnies.

SNAP*

sigh

Umm...excuse me...ex-CUSE me...

I invented Valentine's Day. And I've got the book Love Story and the Konvention Kiss to prove it. You can read about it on that little Internetty thing which I also invented *blush* though I'm not one to brag.

Write in Gore for '06!

(what's that, Tipper?)

Oh, I mean, "Write in Gore for '08!"

(Were the quotes and proper punctuation in my self-quotation too pretentious? I don't want to ruin my man-of-the-people image. Oh, they can read what I'm thinking? Sorry!)

For President, I mean. Write me in for President. Of the U.S. natch! That's a joke. I wrote that one myself.

Actually I just made it up. Ideas come to me like that! Like the Internet, and Valentine's Day.

*pause*

Would you like to hear me sing showtunes?

Anyone?

Tipper says I have a real nice voice.

I'll be here if anyone needs me. Just right here, reading IMAO and waiting for Dean to call and ask for my help with the DNC.

"Midnight, and the kitties are sleeping...."

In a fight between Aquaman and St. Valentine, I think that St. Valentine would choke Aquaman to death with boxes full of chocolate candy.

I think Aquaman would realize his best companions are fish, nosedive into a depression and never recover. Meh, shows what I know.

I was hoping for:

"THE POPE!"

No, the Devil invented Valentine's Day! Can't you see?!?! LOL. Can you tell I'm single? :rolleyes:

Anyway, Frank ole buddy, you and SarahK have a good one. I'm happy for y'all. :-)

To celebrate, isn't there supposed to be a massacre of some sort?

I dunno who invented Valentines Day,but I am pretty sure Al Capone made it popular.

Best wishes to Frank and Sarah,and all who know true love.G-d Bless.

Valentine's Day is nothing more than a vast conspiracy between the Floral/Chocolate Industrial Complex and foreign criminal diamond merchants.

It's well known that $0.25 of every dollar spent on See's Candy goes directly to support worldwide terrorism!

Just say no to Valentines!

haversham? or havisham? methinks it's havisham. but nice allusion nonetheless. even though dickens is the bane of my existence except for "humbug."
