Valentine's Day

[Thunder Bay Rush]

The very next day after the stores put all their Halloween shit away, we started hearing about it. On our radios, on our televisions, in our newspapers and on our computer screens, we constantly hear that we are supposed to go out for dinner, buy each other gifts, cards, flowers, chocolates, retarded stuffed animals… why? I don’t need anyone to tell me that I am supposed to do all of these things, nor, do I need to get gifts (or buy gifts) in order to know someone loves me. I avoid Valentine’s Day 100%.

Here’s an idea: Rather than waiting for a certain day when we’re expected to do all this stuff, why not do it at random times throughout the year for no reason at all, other than you love someone. Walk in the door after work on July 17^th with a nice little gift and say, “Come on, we’re goin’ out for a nice dinner.” No reason…

Funniest thing ever – go to any Canadian WAL MART at about 5:30pm on any February 14 and you’ll see about 20 Canadian hosers standing there with their bush jackets and ball caps, standing in front of the “big scary wall.” That’s the Valentine’s Day card rack… they all look scared, nervous and completely out of their element. Each of them is thinking to himself two words… “Oh shit.” He’s thinking he better “pick the right one.”
