76 trombones, 76 couples, 76ers... - OK, I was kidding about the trombones.
Not about the rest, unfortunately. (Added: 14-Feb-2000 Hits: 0 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

alt.suicide.holiday Valentine's Day Survival Kit - Um ... I really don't quite have the words to describe this, so let's let the author speak for himself: "Valentines Day... ah, the powerful emotions it doth evoke. Images of young lovers holding hands, the exchange of flowers and heart shaped boxes of chocloate candy, laughter, joy, love, love, love; all this coupled with the promise of the impending spring thaw. [...] It's enough to make a free thinking individual want to gouge his own eyeballs out with an old rusty pair of scissors."
I think that probably covers his sentiments quite nicely, don't you? Any road, it's just a page of text, so go. Have a look. Make his day just a little brighter.... (Added: 14-Feb-2000 Hits: 2 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

Anti Valentine's Day Central - Well .... If you really REALLY hate Valentine's Day, this is the site for you. (I love the opening graphic.) (Added: 14-Feb-2000 Hits: 0 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

Arizona Statehood Day (ChaosInAustin Fotojournal: Guest Entry by Janet) - The first part of the entry is a rant by Special Guest Editor Janet about what SHE would celebrate on February 14 instead of the mercantilist thing that sits there now. The latter parts of the entry are Brian, ChaosInAustin himself, talking about his week.
The pictures of the fields of hearts are ... um .... um ... why would you DO that? (Then again, they did all used to be flamingoes...)
NOTE: heavily illustrated, may be slow loading. Also, this link undercuts the frameset, and the previous/next entry links at the bottom either won't work or will work oddly. (Added: 14-Feb-2000 Hits: 2 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

Aw, it's so CUUUUUTE - Actually, it's more cutesy than cute. Kind of cloying, too. A portal to all things valentine, which you can then buy. Joy. Bleah. (Added: 14-Feb-2000 Hits: 1 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

Clio: Three Minor Saints - Only the first of the three saints mentioned is St Valentine (or two of them, depending on how you look at it, but then there are four and not three.) (Added: 14-Feb-2000 Hits: 1 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

Cyrano, cyrano - I have no idea why NandO.net (the Raleigh News and Observer) would be doing this. I mean, it's just an odd thing for a newspaper to do.
Basically, Cyrano lets you compose love letters and send them. Of course, you can also break up with them as well. Judging from the form, it's basically a MadLib generator. (Added: 14-Feb-2000 Hits: 0 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

Protest Valentine's Day! - Well ... "Hate Valentine's Day as much as I do? I know you do! It's a trumped up holiday."
It kind of runs from there. But the little animated heart graphic on the right side is so ... cute? (Added: 14-Feb-2000 Hits: 0 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

Virtual Kiss: can we barf? - I mean, really, can we?
Ok, the clobbering Cupid thing isn't a bad idea, but other than that... (Added: 14-Feb-2000 Hits: 1 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It
