It's Almost Time...

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, now apparently also known as Singles Awareness Day! You know what that means, don't you? It's time for The Cap'n's Unfortunate Valentine's Cards!

If you've never visited that link before, do go. It's sure to make you feel better.

If you still want to send someone a Valentine after that, my advice is likely too late this year, but next year you may want to send this love note or possibly this card for the holiday.

And from today's livesciencefeed: Love letters in ancient Rome were all about pain. Well, really, what else would they be about?


And this languagehat link is going here because Borges = Love: The ANTI-BORGES.

i very much admire the vulture card. we have vultures in my neighborhood now. someone in the subdivision started feeding the ones that came up from the agricultural center, and the birds began to flock here. one day recently my neighbor's trashcan had fallen over. when i opened my garage door to go out, there was a vulture in the driveway giving me the eye and a gang of others down in the road, tearing trashbags apart. it's a funny feeling to look up and see vultures on one's house, i tell ya.

happy valentine's day! ;D

You should! Archelaus has many excellent cards.

I've decided that if I ever date again, I must date someone who appreciates the vulture card. If they dislike the vulture card, it is obviously not meant to be.

Happy Valentine's Day, Vicki!

haha! yes, that'll weed out the cognoscenti from the yahoos! :D

hope you have chocolate on hand. :)

No, I have no chocolate! Clear evidence of poor planning on my part. I suppose I must go out and climb over a few snowbanks today so I can get some.

Thanks for the link to the Cap'n! I've never seen those before and they're quite amusing. I esp. love the Batman one. And the Pear.
