Gaffer Tape

This thread is about...

MARIO!!!

Before this thread makes me sick (haha, get it... doctors, sick... ha?  :( )... THREAD IS OPEN!

Sorry.  I just happen to agree with Bingo that it's a commercialized, guilt-tripping mess of a holiday with little redeeming qualities in its current form.  Case in point:  those terrible, terrible jewelry commercials I mentioned yesterday.  That's all that Valentine's Day is about now:  buying love.  A free cuddle, as Bingo says, is much more meaningful.  And considering I'm not known for "self-righteous pontificating spiels," and I happen to agree with him, maybe that's not what he's going for either.

it just seems like more of Bingo's  typical self righteous pontificating spiel.    He probably hates any holiday that Americans typically celebrate.

Yeah, I don't get what you're complaining about either.  From what I was able to gather yesterday, you're not particularly fond of Valentine's Day yourself, so why are you coming down on Bingo for disparaging a holiday that, quite frankly, needs to be disparaged a bit?

The whole idea of having a special day where men (and it is usually the guys who are the target of this nonsense) are pressured into being 'romantic' (by buying future trash) is a Corporatist plot to divorce silly people from money best spent on sensible things like putting aside for a utility bill.

It also encourages people to be dispassionate slobs for the rest of the year.

It injects tension into partnered couples, further isolates the singles and just underlines how people talk about romance, love and passion but are encouraged to express it by buying junk.

Have a nice free cuddle instead.

 

Agreed.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  Nazi King Triton is dead!!!

Yeah, but "anime" isn't a genre anymore than "live action" is a genre...

With the socky wocky?

Well, while it could go either way, I was actually referring to you just typing out "*dramatic chipmunk*" rather than actually showing it.  That's just lazy...

No it don'ty.

Me too!

Lazy Frink, was Lazy...

And I'm sorry your computer is your life. :p ;)

No one's more sorry about that than I. =P

I can no longer turn my computer off because it crashes every time I try to turn it back on.  At the exact same time, my flash drive petered out.  Then the very next day my printer refused to print.  And now Flash (the program) just conked out for no reason, so I can't watch anything online.  Life sucks.

TheBoost, you don't get anything on your wedding anniversaries...?

Guh, besides the obvious, I can't wait until this insipid holiday is over because then it'll be another ten months before I have to see another shallow, manipulative jewelry commercial.  I hate this holiday!

Gaffer Tape is sexy because I'm jealous of him... for being sexier. 

Fixed that for you.

What?!  Nothing for me?!  How dare it!!!

There are fish in this movie?  Oh, carp!

Erm... not sure this thread was worth resurrecting...

But Happy Valentines Day everybody (except Gaffer)!

 

 

That's fine.  Wasn't planning on having a happy one anyway.

Yeah, and we all know how well xhonzi does at actually ignoring people...

Knowing Darth Solo's... ahem, proclivities, I'd want to make sure he didn't "get off" my lawn or anything else I owned.

Back when Warb had a substantial body count. =P

Wow.  This was a weird thread.  Those were simpler times...

Somebody kill me...
