That's not in the spirit of valentines day :-( The true meaning of the day is to buy flowers at inflated prices, cheesy cards and cardboard tasting chocolates (also at inflated prices). Its important that we have one day a year out of 365 to spend say we love some.

who needs anyone right? hahaha

Valentine's is such a scam, When I have someone special in my life, that's the only day I don't do anything nice to her, she gets the 364 other days to be a queen.

people, i'm tellin' ya, it's ALL about lupercalia. a cross-post:

this pagan festival was celebrated for thousands of years, notably in ancient rome. february 13-15 was the time period every year for lupercalia. the festivities would begin with human (and later, goat or dog) sacrifices in the temple of faunus. after skinning the sacrifice, the luperci fashioned the skins into whips and would run naked through the streets whipping innocent bystanders. in fact, most of these bystanders (especially the ladies) got in the way on purpose, standing in line to be whipped for an increase in fertility and ease in childbirth. then everyone would spend the next few days getting whipped, eating, fornicating, and drinking themselves into oblivion.

i don't know how you could get any LESS commercialized and cheesy. go out tomorrow with your whips and chains, find the prettiest guy or gal you can, get loaded on wine (or grapes - hey, why not?), and get frisky till the cows come home!
