The How Are You Gonna Waste Money This Valentine's Day Thread

MetSox17 · 02-01-2012, 10:43 PM

Anyone got any good ideas? I've been toying around with a few, but i think i've settled on what i'm doing. Every female wants flowers valentine's day but i think it's a god damn scam (as if everything else wasn't, right?), a dozen roses is ~$70 on vday, so **** everything about that. If i'm gonna waste that kind of coin, i'm gonna get her a "flower" arrangement, but of fruit!

These things are the bomb, my sister gets them often and they're delicious.

Might make some chocolate dipped fruit or something else cliche. What are the enslaved, err, married, men doing for their old ladies?

Drinking......excessively.....alone. For now at least, I'll probably buy my BFF/Valentine some cheap, beautiful boutique jewelry

My wife is not big on flowers or candy. A night away from the kids by going out to a movie and a nice dinner suits her just fine.

i've always found it funny how much time my friends with kids spend trying to get away from their kids.

I spend very little time trying to get away. Some time away is needed on occasion. I don't care how much you love someone, everybody needs some privacy on occasion.

i hope your kidding. jim beam black is a very good bourbon. its absolutely nothing like normal jim beam and is probably one of the top values in bourbon on the market. jim bim black is aged eight years leading to darkened floral notes, and turning the light, creamy body thick and mellow. you could snag some nice woodford reserve for a slightly higher price but for $18 bucks give or take you cant beat jb black.

Forever alone... so probably playing madden

MetSox17 · 02-01-2012, 10:51 PM

Sadly for my wallet, i have a very girly/romantic gf that loves all that sappy stuff. We're gonna skip dinner since all restaurants will be jam packed and she works all day, so i'll just use that for whatever i'm getting her.

Nalej · 02-01-2012, 10:52 PM

Edible Arrangements is always good... For everyone. Some M&M's too. And that's it.

fischbowl · 02-01-2012, 10:54 PM

Also, this is planned:

How happy is the blameless vestals lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned.....

yo123 · 02-02-2012, 01:13 AM

You might run into my neighbor up there, haha. He's single and is going to be barhopping that night in the hopes of slaying some hoes. I wish you both luck on your endeavors.

Ngatachance92 · 02-02-2012, 01:32 AM

Getting a prostitute and role playing like we are college sweethearts destined to be together forever. Dinner... Dancing... Sweet sweet love making... Than chopping her body up and arranging the pieces in a heart shaped pattern only recognizable from an aerial view. You know, the usual.

The_Dude · 02-02-2012, 05:48 AM

buying a card. that's it.

eaglesalltheway · 02-02-2012, 07:13 AM

Haven't decided yet, might get some flowers, but I was also thinking about an edible arrangement, and will probably end up choosing one of those as long as they aren't too ridiculously priced, as well as dinner.
