It is merely Valen tine’s Day. The holiday began in the 12th century when St. Valentine be gan the seasonal trend of tolerant adoration and affection by re belling against the advice of “old man Thurmond” and partaking in a unique blend of western Eu ropean herbs, fruits and wines — later known as Funky Cold Medi na. The first step toward Valen tine’s Day bliss is to ask for a date. For some, however, a face-to- face inquiry is intimidating. This is where a note comes in handy, especially when tied to a stone and hurled through the recipi ent’s bedroom window. This practice may seem outlandish, and rightly so, because of its ex treme call for attention. This was not always the case. During the European Renais sance, notes were fastened to birds instead of rocks, but animal rights activists objected to birds being thrown through windows. Valentine’s Day is also an ex pensive holiday, second only to Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa. Like its luxuriously extravagant winter holiday competitors, Valentine’s Day demands that gifts be exchanged between two or more individuals. Since the cost of a gift is in dicative of a relationship’s worth, they become expensive! A dilemma arises from the fact that the moneybag is still de flated from late-December shop ping to the time those pink hearts and cherubs line the aisles of the supermarket. Do not despair. Here is a way to remedy a depleted pocket- book: if low on cash, remember that poorly guarded banks and convenience stores are simply loan centers in disguise! She will be impressed that a crime was committed just to get the cash to buy her a lousy box of candy. After all, like dia monds, “a felony is forever.” Even if apprehended, there is a good chance that there are plenty of potential Valentine’s Day sweethearts to be had in prison! So after attaining the funding one needs to celebrate Valen tine’s Day, there exists the task of determining what to buy. The traditional gift is a box of candy, which is truly the best in vestment because it indicates that she does not look fat, other wise she would not be receiving chocolates. It is recommended purchases be made on products without the phrase “nut cluster” on the box for obvious hygienic reasons. Some other candies to be wary of include rat poison shaped gumdrops, gummy pants and Dallas candy manufacturer Carlson’s Candies’ “Chocolate- covered Bits O’ Glass.” Candies have become surprisingly theme- oriented this year. For the heroin-addict sweet heart, there are the new syringe shaped chocolates; for the union organizer, there is the applauded “Hoffachunks,” whose ingredi ents remain a secret; and from the mind of the celebrated fic tional candy mogul and Oompa Loompa magnate, Willy Wonka, comes the first candy to be en dorsed by Kathy Lee Gifford, which turns naughty children OLDBERG into textile-producingi: drones.
