Just in Case You Were Wondering

Apparently they only make two types of Valentine's cards.


1. Funny ones that make a sex joke.

Ex. You're hot and I want to sleep with you, happy Valentine's Day!


or

2. Ones that scream out your undying love.


Ex. FOREVER WILL I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU FOREVER. SO MUCH. LOTS!


What about the good old "be mine?" Huh? What about that? Doesn't anyone just ask someone to be their Valentine anymore.... like in the good ol' days?


Cuz maybe not all of us single folks want to make sex jokes or profess undying love quite yet.



*Grumbles at the marketing geniuses who ruined yet another holiday.*


(goes back to thinking about the good ol' days)

Hand out sweet tarts... you can pick the one that goes with the occasion.. and eat the other ones. ;)

I'm still stuck with the dilemma faced by people who are married - what are you supposed to do on valentines?

Should there be a "please keep on being mine" card?

Victoria said...

Jordan, that's it! I'll go around chomping on candy and handing out the good ones to all the cute guys! It's a win-win! Brilliant! ; )


Jonathan....hmmm...... maybe make one of those old fashioned ones with the lace and the hand drawn message? I still say we go back to the times when you just asked the person (er... persons?) you liked to be your Valentine. I mean, you've already got a lovely wife and you celebrate your anniversary (or, so I imagine)so...

*shrug*

you've got a point, my friend. I have no idea! LOL

Maybe there should be a "please don't stop being mine" card. ;D

I think this is why we MADE Valentine's Day cards when we were little - then exchanged them with the other kids in the class in those cute little envelopes we'd make and tape to the front of our desks. :) Man it was really easy being 8.

Victoria said...

Likalia, that's EXACTLY what I was thinking. I'll make me a little envelope to stick on my door and cut up some pink and red paper into hearts and write "will you be my Valentine?" on it.

Let's all just go back to being 8, I say.

How about that for an election platform?

Likalia said...

I'd totally vote for you. :)

Victoria said...

WOOO HOOOO!

That's why I like the kid-valentines. You know, the ones we used to give out at school? I buy those as a grown-up for my friends, more fun and silly. Ugh to the whole grown up infatuation stuff

From time to time, I suffer from foot-in-mouth disease where I say the wrong thing but with good intention.

They say that if you're given lemon, you should make lemonade. So I've been thinking of making cards. Call it "Burnmark Cards" or something (similar to the line of despair.com)

1. Funny ones that make a sex joke:

"You're not hot as Kylie Minogue, but I want to sleep with you anyway. Happy Valentine's Day!"

"If push comes to shove, I wouldn't mind sleeping with you. Happy Valentine's Day!"

"Many guys judge a girl's beauty by how her mom looks. So I think you're one hot momma. Happy Valentine's Day!"

2. Ones that scream out your undying love:

"I will love you forever until the cows come home, not that I would love the cows that much more. Happy Valetine's day!"

"I will love you until the world ends. After that, I'm not sure."

"I will love forever, and now too."

Victoria said...

ldbug: that's a great plan! little kid mini-cards for everyone! wheeeee! : )

Victoria said...

ynbf: that's hilarious. My favourites are "If push comes to shove, I wouldn't mind sleeping with you. Happy Valentine's Day!"

and

"I will love you until the world ends. After that, I'm not sure."

heh.
