Pelted with shoes
"As a Valentine's Day card smoldered, more than 100 members of the Hindu extremist group Shiv Sena gathered in central New Delhi chanted "Death to Valentine's Day" and "People who celebrate Valentine's Day should be pelted with shoes!""
Also, A Late Decree declaring that Manufactured Romanticism Day be changed to honor Joshua, Norton I, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico.
With thanks to Christina.
This is the first year I'm really, truly, like not just trying to be cool or anything, completely apathetic about valentine's day. What would be nice is to hit up a migra rally with Juntos or something. Also, years ago I was informed that v's day has actually already been repurposed into Plant Day, the day when you sketch out the garden and order seeds. It is customary to exchange small gifts of seedlings or gardening supplies to remind us that spring thaw is right around the corner. Though someone forgot to send the memo to the bulb flowers that it's still only February, and they are already popping up. Man, they are gonna be pissed about today's snow.
I leave you with this:
""My heart is like a cabbage, divided into two; the leaves are for others and the heart for you."
