    Nope - it means that even a pig in lipstick stands a chance at love.

                    This helps to keep the stems of the flowers straight while they are out of water.

                          See, if you buy the ones they haven't hacked the roots off of, you can actually keep 'em alive for a while... :^) The day's a sham in any case. I've pulled off several nice, romantic dinners this year, thoroughly enjoyable for the both of us... but today, because of the expectations pushed on her by all these damn advertisers, i can pull out all the stops and it'll still feel forced and unpleasant. Even with plenty of wine, there's just no substitute for spontaneity.

                          But who is the king of all of these folks?

                                  just run down to the jewelry shop buy a rose dipped in gold, $50USD, they gift wrap it, sign the card, take home. Of course you can't wield it like a club.... but nothing says "I love you" like a living thing killed and preserved forever by dipping in molten metal. ;P

                                        That's funny. I was just thinking that you could harness the power of teenage boys wrists to generate far more energy than was being created through Nanowires[^]. You could power a city block of one spotty teenager and he'd be giving something back to the community.

                                        :laugh: LOL I've had a similar thought... imagine harnessing the power of couples at it (who would generally output a lot more energy). Just imagine the generated power on valentines day :)
