Lupercalia was awesome. The women lined up in the streets to be flogged - it was a fertility thing. Everyone was good and drunk, as in most worthwhile festivals.

The only person that celebrated Valentine's Day right is Al Capone.

Fark to the rescue once again!
Here I am sitting around trying to figure out what to do for my wife today. Flowers? Chocolates? All the while the answer was right here online. Well, I'm off to the supermarket. I hope there are still some decent bits of goat available for a sweet thong. Man....she's going to LOVE this....not like that disaster last year.

the good news, I have recently acquired the knowledge of where I can buy a whole goat.
the bad news, it will be dead
The funny news, I don't have a car - I'm unsure how my fellow rapid transit patrons would enjoy my cloven hoofed friend

Exactly. Try to say this shiat to your significant other, or talk about the diamond industry, and it is a ticket to the dog house.

You know all that "heart shaped" merchandise we exchange on Valentine's Day?
If you know anything about anatomy you know hearts aren't shaped like that, and if you've ever seen a woman naked you know what IS
Think about that as you give your sweetie a "heart" tonight

For a good laugh, google "magical old". The stand up is Julian or Jason McCullough. Little old Chinese lady trying to board a bus with a live chicken.

I thought I was the only one on Fark old enough to remember Lupercalia. Do you remember the year that they cut the price of wine so the festival lasted like three days an even a eunuch could get laid.

Male bits also have a "heart" shape from certain angles in certain states. Also flowers: amputated plant genatalia.

there are still Russian and eastern European villages where that exact same fetility rite continues to this day. As the author of the
Joy of Sex
so brilliantly observed public BDSM is so often used as a substitute for sex because "beating is decent, it can even be done in church, sex can't"

True, but at least from my long and faithful study of the subject, the best possible representation of the classic shape is a woman bent over, went viewed from behind, particularly if she's the kind who has a shape that causes her "bits' to peek out slightly when in that pose

I concede the point as you are obviously well-studied and versed in this subject besides I believe you are correct. That is more of a heart shape than male bits.

Valentine's Day 1914 was the worst day for Teddy Roosevelt; his mother died of typhoid fever in the morning, and in the afternoon, his wife died giving birth to their daughter.
So now I don't biatch if I just get a card.
