Valentine's day Riot

Yet another over commercialised American holiday rolls around and so the question must be asked, what are RiotACTers up to this Valentine’s Day?

Going out to dinner? If so where’s your pick?

Are you off to your favourite picnic site, a chilled bottle of champers under one arm?

Or will the local video rental be supplying your date and you’ll be dining on an entire tub of chocolate ice cream from the local IGA.

Come-on readers, open your heart to us.

And, incidentally, if the girls then wish to change Valentines to “pasta and cunnilingus day”, I have no objections, either…

I’m still a fan of “Steak and a Blowjob day”. If you do the roses and candlelit dinner thing, you deserve a steak and a blowjob day sometime during the year.

I just think the chicks have hijacked it bit. Us bloke should turn it around and start asking where our slab of cold beer is and the like

Cooked for the missus, but as we are married now (even though it’s only been four months), I did not feel the guilty about not purchasing anything. In fact I even got up on my soap-box at work and told all the losers buying roses and chocolates that their futile jumping through hoops was a sign of a guilty concience and most likely excessive masturbation. Wasn’t too popular but I did get a few laughs from the people that count.

How can you forget? It’s promoted everywhere – just look at your junkmail.

Valentine’s Day is a crock of shit day foisted on us by the likes of Hallmark cards and Interflora and now picked up by gift shops and florists Australia wide to boost their income.

It’s just another date for sheilas to make blokes feel guilty because they forgot – like their birthday or wedding anniversary.

It’s about as meaningful to me as halloween.

Don’t mind Thanksgiving Day though – that’s an excuse to swallow Wild Turkey

bt – that’s class!

After tea I’ll grab a long neck out of the fridge and stretch out on the lounge and watch the cricket. The missus likes the cricket too so she’ll probably join me after she finishes the washing up.

We are boycotting this rubbish… might take down our cubby and sleep in our actualy room as opposed to the kitchen (been there two weeks now)… is that romance or what??
