Lady Lilith said…How
about a picnic in the park. With all this snow it is sure to be fun.
Roland D. Yeomans
said...Nothing says YOU'RE SPECIAL like a mass-produced sentiment written by
someone else!
Robin said…Take
a stand against Valentine's Day. Chocolate should be given frequently and
often. For instance, all days ending in "y."
L. Diane Wolfe
said...Nothing says love like a dozen over-prices flowers that are just going
to die in two days.
2. Al Penwasser
said...This really is fun....
It's Valentines! I will...
buy some chocolates, buy some flowers
and a little blue pill
to give me four hours.

Priceless.

said...Another Valentines's Day,
Cupid is stupid,
My boyfriend is gay.
I went to bed a brunette,
And woke up gray.

said...Roses are red
Violets are blue
Chocolate makes you fat
I'll eat the chocolate
and you can have the flowers.

Valentines Day!"
David Oliver
said..For Valentine's Day to be really sweet,
Two requirements you must meet.
Chocolate and a lady friend,
Damn! I have no lady, where to begin?

said...Valentines Day: Just another holiday that guilt trips men into buying
crap for women who probably don't deserve it.
Daisy said...Chocolate hearts
make Valentine's Day fun,
but if you're alone,
all you REALLY want
is the day
over and done.

said...Would you mind if I spend Valentine's Day with my cat?
A Beer For The Shower
said...Buy some stale, dollar store
chocolates, some flowers that’ll be dead tomorrow, and be sad and fat and
alone... together.
2. Bish Denham said...Eat more chocolate, doctors and hospitals love making money for treating diabetes.

Christian at Point Counter-Point Point Point said...20 word max?!?!?! This is the Russian's fault isn't
it? Anyways I tried to edit mine down to 20 but couldn't do it. The best I
could do is 42:
Instead of telling you how special you are in my own words, I found a greeting card while at the grocery store buying ham. Luckily they describe exactly how I feel about you, and I got a great price on the ham.
If you round down that could be 20.
klahanie said...Anti-Valentine's Day. Such a day. Romance at play. I don't really care. It's only fair. My fake smile, sunny. Just give me your money.
Pat Hatt said...Chocolate, flowers and stuffed bears, oh my! One makes you fat, one wilts on your mat and the other is covered in rat scat.

Some of those are really good. Can I split my vote? Really liked both Roland and Diane's. They were snarky.
ReplyDeletethey are all really good, but I'm gonna vote for mine b/c it's probably the only vote I'll get. lol
ReplyDeleteI vote for JoJo.
ReplyDeleteSee?
You're not the only one.
I vote for Empty Nest. Clever.
ReplyDeleteA Valentine's Haiku
ReplyDeleteFlowers, chocolates sweet
Lovers stroll on the Ginza
Oh, no! Godzilla!
I know it's too late, but it's fun.
My vote goes to 2. Al Penwasser. :)
ReplyDeleteI vote for Al Penwasser #2. May he get his four hours and more, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI vote for Bish's entry. Second choice would be Roland's.
ReplyDeleteThanks for voting. Polls will close at midnight PST. Volunteers should give you a brownie and your "I Voted" stickers. They should always do so. Right?
ReplyDeleteHave a good Wednesday.
xoRobyn
I Vote for Roland D. Yeomans.
ReplyDeleteYou do know that us male types just go at the last second and pick a card out without reading it.
I am so torn between Al Wasser and Empty Nest Insider.
ReplyDeleteAl brought the double giggle, but Empty Nest brought the giggles and a bit of profound thought.
Can I do like Alex and cast a vote for each or will those Russians foil my attempts and disqualify me?!
Fine. I'll flip a freaking coin.
My vote goes for Empty Nest
LOL!!! Those are epic. I loved them all but three the most: Al's #3, Herman Turnip, and Vanessa Morgan.
ReplyDeletehaha have to go with Al and his little blue pill
ReplyDeleteI probably should vote for mine so I get ONE vote, but I am voting for JoJo's. That is a very funny anti-Valentine's day slogan:)
ReplyDeleteThis is really difficult as there are a lot of good ones but for the sake of voting for a really strong contender...I vote for Empty Nest. Very funny!!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm voting for Robin's, so there's one at least!
ReplyDeleteDamn the Russians!
ReplyDeleteI vote for Al Penwasser #2

ReplyDeleteHermanTurnip! I laughed.
ReplyDeleteJOJO! JOJO! JOJO! Is that three votes? And put hot fudge sauce on that!
ReplyDeleteRobin said…Take a stand against Valentine's Day. Chocolate should be given frequently and often. For instance, all days ending in "y."
ReplyDeleteThis one has my vote, simply because I agree that every day needs a little chocolate! All were great though!
Roses are red
ReplyDeleteViolets are purple
I only want pancakes
With maple surple
Oh! I get it! I just realized that I'm a day late and a valentine short!
ReplyDeleteThat'll learn me. I guess I gotta check here everyday...
Which really sucks, because mine was so darn good! See, it's the time of year to be grouchy!
ReplyDeleteSorry, Pat T. It WAS good. I like maple surple too, especially Canadian maple surple.
ReplyDeletexo
Hahaha...these are all good. I can't decide between Vanessa and Al. Ummm...I'm going to go with Vanessa!
ReplyDeleteDo the Russian judges know about Al and Ken?! Never mind he's a huge hit in Russia! Thanks to Elizabeth for saying that I'm capable of both "giggles and profound thought!" I vote for Kim. We've all been there.
ReplyDeleteJulie
Tension builds. It's a tight race, folks. Polls will be open for another 5-1/2 hours. We'll be counting votes and absentee ballots til the bittersweet end.
ReplyDeleteJulie, the Russians said something like "Do please to send Al blue pills no matter he is American."
xoRobyn
Since I won last year, I'm just a reader this year and not a particapant. -They are a hoot!
ReplyDeleteThanks to Alex and David for thinking of me. Since I am in the running (way, way in the back) I will just say the contest is a fun idea.
ReplyDeleteMe and Charlie Brown sit sighing staring at our empty mail box ... again. :-)
My Valentine post will post this midnight. :-)
I'm leaning a bit towards Al's offering. It's juvenile and caters to the lowest common denominator...just my style! ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery creative entries!! I'm sad I missed out on the fun, but I don't have any bitter feelings towards V-Day anymore, so I wouldn't be fun to play with. ;)
