Suggestion Box: What to do on Valentine's Day (HUMOROUS)

NB: Some of these may actually be real serious suggestions, but they at
least sound to me pretty fun(ny).
*************** General suggestions **********************
1a. Things involving ex.
A) Is this time to invest in some Armor-all for the shredded heart?
B) Gee, Soldiers Fortune has a nice .45 for sale this month....

1b. Things involving sheep.
A) Yes, I have a date. Her name is Maaaaaaaaary.
B) Flowers are a great way to say "I love ewe."

1c. Things involving alcohol
A) Escape for the day to Margaritaville
B) Pass the Bar Exam: or, nothin' says lovin' like barfin' and shovin'
C) February 13th: a nice night to go In Search Of (Leonard Nemoy
optional)

2a. I don't remember where it came from - perhaps the comic strip
"Cathy," but for the last 3-4 years, single folks in our office wear
black on Valentine's Day.

2b. A couple of single guys and ladies all "celebrate" the fact of being
single by observing Black Sunday (since it falls on a Sunday this year).
Everyone in our group wears black for the whole day, and that night look
at romantic thriller movies.  Sounds kinda corny and all of that, but it
beats looking at lovey-dovey couples going to whereever.

3. [Well, it's not for everyone, but we're having our second child
baptized on Valentine's day.  Having 2 children together is an
expression of committment or the need to be committed! (as in, committed
to an insane asylum)]
	We usually make heart shaped pizza and stay home and be silly.

4. Hmmmm.....wait and grow old. Why? My birthday is Feb15. ;-)

5. ++ Couples ++
One time, I only had a dollar to my name, and it was an extremely warm
 Valentine's Day, so we went to the grocery store and bought a loaf of
 bread and fed the ducks at a local park.  We both decided that the ducks
 liked her better...

6. $$$ Cheap, fun thing $$$
Send the girl <<assume girlfriend>> out to do the laundry and stick a bunch
of new lingerie in the load.

*************** Groups and party tricks ***********************
1. +++ SINGLE WOMEN +++
Throw a "Henna and Mud" party.  Invite several other single female
friends over, with everyone bringing their favorite cuticle remover and
nailpolish, face cream, waxing kits, hair painting glop, etc.  Spent the
day/evening watching "girl" movies (Anne of Green Gables, Gone with the
Wind, Hot Studs at Play, etc.).  Make huge pitchers of sickeningly sweet
blender drinks.  Get stupid, gossip, and complain about men.  Once
you're all devastatingly gorgeous, call a cab, go to the local bar, and
giggle with your friends while ignoring the drooling truckdrivers.

2. ++ Singles ++
A singles-only pity/toga party?

*************** Things for the ages ************************
1a. (Teenagers)
Went to the Basketball game and left before the dance afterwards.
1b. (College undergrads/20s)
We went out cruising.
