My dog prefers steak.

A teaspoon is really all anybody nee...wait, what?

The only constant I have in my life for the past decade is my oldest dog. Marriage/divorce, deaths, dating, relationships.. etc..
So yeah, I probably would rather spend the day with my dog.
She's never given me up, nor let me down.

I devote all fake, marketing driven holidays to my cat.

Valentines day is a beautiful holiday to express love to someone you care about, everyone needs to stop hating on it, get away from their computers, and get a date.

Meh, I call that day Tuesday.

Well, having a person to share Valentine's Day is wonderful, but holy sh*t are roses ever getting expensive...

I wonder how this trick gets passed down from generation to generation.

Sure, possibly, it's just a part of our shared cultural mythos at this point but when I see web-cam vids of teen girls doing the PB&V thing with their dogs I'm hard pressed to believe that somebody just up and said "hey, you know what's really fun?" during lunch hour one day and gave them the idea . . .

How do they know to do this?

 
hachijuhachi 2010-02-08 04:26:38 PM  
I love the peanut butter jokes.

My dog, she just loves the peanut butter.

 
hxhawkeye 2010-02-08 04:27:09 PM  
It's a bullshiat "holiday" anyway, so what does it really matter? My wife and I don't celebrate it. It's just a day during which you don't plan on going out to dinner due to the herds of people.

One time, my ex boyfriend stayed with me over night.
The peanut butter looked like someone had stuck their finger in it. I accused him for molesting my dog. He denied it....

... but only my dog knows for sure.

I usually cook an awesome dinner for the wife and she takes care me later. Fark spending a shiatload of money on a fake holiday.
But when July 4th rolls around we spend about 500 bucks on fireworks.

A guy...with a girlfriend who apparently seems to understand logic and isn't caught up in blatant consumerism? Tell me good sir, where exactly did you find this person?

They found some really disillusioned Turks to answer their poll.

And there's some reason why you checked the peanut butter right after he left?

From spending the night.

Is that a roll of dimes in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Unlike some this Valentine's Day- who will be eating Fido on the 14th.

"French were least likely to choose a furry friend over a human"

Good for them. Although it leaves me wondering if there is a translation for 'mudkips'...

No. And... it was a tiny jar of peanut butter.

He used to eat all of my food when he was down. I had to take stock when he left. Besides, when I moved the peanut butter jar, it felt lighter.

And my dog... she wouldn't stop winking.

College. She doesn't like chick flicks either. They do exist.

We look at it as a chance to just get away for the weekend. It generally falls over President's day weekend. So my g/f and I, as well as 2 other couple rent a mountain house for 3 nights. Go skiing, drink and sit in the hot tub, and drink. We don't do gifts or expensive dinner, just spent it with good friends and make it a mini vacation.

The shock value is strong with this one.

 
littlett's [TotalFark] 2010-02-08 04:46:01 PM  
I actually like Valentine's Day, but I rarely ever do anything on that day specifically. It is a lot easier going out on a day or two before or after, much smaller crowds.

But that being said, I did get my cats treats.

Wait wait, subby, you're doing it wrong. You can't PEANUT BUTTER that thing up the ass.

What if your in a domineering relationship where your significant other is your pet?

Hopefully they had an "other" or "N/A" response

I hope she gives you something good for your $10 in cards, $15 in chocolates and $50 bouquet of roses + whatever sort of expensive dinner you have in mind.

this holiday is more blatantly commercial than christmas

Mine strangles neighbors for me. He only enjoys it if you don't want to be strangled.

Just FYI, you don't need to spend that much.

My absolute best gift that I ever received for Valentine's Day was a box full of little stars that had things about me that my guy liked about me. It is priceless to me and I still look at them when I'm feeling down.

He didn't have much money, so he cooked dinner for me. I can honestly say that it was the best Valentines that I have ever had.
