Exactly, that and you can't find a decent pre-printed card that doesn't make you out to be an oaf. Very annoying. Despite our cynicism, I hope you both had a very nice V-Day as well.

Of course anything with “I Hate” in the title I'm all over. Great post and so true. The day has become an excuse too. A husband can be jerk all year, but give out all the cliche junk on Valentine's Day and give himself permission to be off the hook. Marketers who use these sort of things against us have earned a place next to divorce attorneys in my book. That said, I hope you both had a lovely V-Day.

It is kind of funny to watch them scurry around.

Amen brother. This is my least favorite 'holiday'. I get a kick out of the men that rush around the grocery store and buy cheap flowers and a Whitman's sampler to fulfill expectations for Valentine's Day. It makes for good people watching.

The only thing I've agreed that I will do is get a card, but good luck finding one that doesn't make a guy sound like a Neaderthal. I think I may have to make my cards from now on.

Tulips, card, and something nice to eat. Exactly how we spent this Vday.

Great men think alike.

I write this post every year. And every year I receive emails in which people insist that I hate this fake holiday because I had a bad experience. Funny how they can't accept that sometimes there are legitimate reasons for despising days that are designed to make people feel badly.

Preach it brother… crap, crap, and more crap. I'm so glad my wife isn't into all the hoopla, but I too hate the constant bombardment by various peddlers of crap.
