What a Stupid Fucking Day
As a preliminary matter, i want to state that i will be saying nothing original at all in this post.
Valentine's day is, of course, the stupidest of all holidays since it is most obviously a construct of the fucking greeting card companies. It doesn't even have the pretextual justifications that something like, say, thanksgiving has. While the whole story with the fucking pilgrims and the indians is mostly crap, at least there's a story. Valentine's day doesn't even get that. All it does is force us to be in love or be second class citizens. There's not even a feast involved. This day would be a lot easier to stomach if the traditional Valentine's day turkey was involved. Not to mention that Valentine's day has to follow in the wake of much better holidays like Christmas and New Year's.
In general, Valentine's day sucks balls. Still, it'd be nice to have someone to spend it with. Which i don't. Again.

I think those of us without should start the Valentine's Day feast. Something appropriate...a meal of kings. Famous Daves, Sushi, Red Lobster, KFC - something along these lines. I'd be completely down for a new tradition.
Of course, if it was KFC, we'd have to ensure an equal ratio of meat to skin, otherwise it's just unhealthy.
