Valentine Messages. All good things must come to an end. You've had a day to express your crushes, but now no new messages can be sent. You can still access the messages you received for the next 24 hours if you want to save them somewhere. I hope you all enjoyed it.

dodgy, dodgy, he's the best! If he can't do it, no one can!
D-O-D-G-Y! dodgy!

Thanks for the funniest vd ever.

Aw man, I want this to go on forever.

Can we have monthly I-Like-You Days? Like, on the 3rd Friday of every month or something?

It sucks to have to wait another year for this kind of boost.

And let's face it. Lots of us only get it here.

Can we?? Huh??

posted by mudpuppie 15 February | 03:31

Okay, dodgy?

Received valentines aren't there. I need my fix!!!

posted by mudpuppie 15 February | 03:35

Everyone revoked my valentines??

posted by agropyron 15 February | 03:36

We're doing this again for Presidents' Day, right?

posted by Eideteker 15 February | 03:37

*revokes agro's valentines*

*utters wicked cackle*

posted by mudpuppie 15 February | 03:38

I think that's my fault...dodgy and I were cross-posting just now, him for coding and me for graphics, and I think I might have uploaded a version without the LOVE.

!

Daddy will fix.

whew.

*puts head between knees, breathes deeply*

ohmmmmmmmm.

posted by mudpuppie 15 February | 03:45

That was great. Best Valentines Ever.
Witness the power of the internet, and it's hitherto unseen ability to make me feel loved.

posted by seanyboy 15 February | 03:49

It was fantastic. I seriously can't remember when I've laughed so much, over such an extended period.

posted by taz 15 February | 03:53

My messages are all gone! :( It hasn't been 24 hours yet, has it?

posted by grouse 15 February | 03:53

TAAAAAAAAAAAAAZ!
</shatner>

ok, i've fixed it and you should all see your messages again now.

and it was fun, weren't it.

posted by dodgygeezer 15 February | 04:02

heh.

posted by taz 15 February | 04:03

So much fun. Unbelievable fun! :)

posted by grouse 15 February | 04:06

I have never loved as deeply as I love this place. I know that's sad. But fuck it.

posted by mudpuppie 15 February | 04:09

awww.

The Bunny abides.

A massive smiling salute to dodgy and taz for a wonderfully entertaining and original valentine's game! You guys rock. Out loud. Thanks for all your work.

posted by chewatadistance 15 February | 07:08

it was wonderful! thanks!

posted by amberglow 15 February | 08:10

Thank you very much, it was a fun time - like an elementary school party for grownups. And it was a secret special surprise, too. Awesome.

posted by rainbaby 15 February | 08:20

Thank you so much - it was so much fun!

We need to do this again soon!

posted by sisterhavana 15 February | 09:08

Three cheers for taz and the geezer!

Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!

*throws confetti, scampers away before being told to clean it up*

My ego (and libido) have been driven through the roof by this little exercise. You are all a buncha saucy little minxes, aren't you?

posted by jonmc 15 February | 09:31

YAY!

posted by danostuporstar 15 February | 09:34

Also, this one:

you're an insufferable ass. don't ever change.

could only be from one person.

posted by jonmc 15 February | 09:34

Yeah, thanks dodgy and taz!

What awesome fun. We are the greatest team-- all of us Metachatters. This is a great community right here!

posted by dfowler 15 February | 09:35

We may have initiated a new member last night. Hopefully he'll register today.

posted by jonmc 15 February | 09:51

taz, dodgy, and sandbox playmates: I can't tell you how thankful I am that you did this. Allow me to present for your edification, Rod Serling-style, these two scenarios:

noo noo noo noo, noo noo noo noo

Scenario #1, Miko's V-Day without MeCha. A tearful, dreary, long, and lonely day of anguished re-reading of old e-mails and ruminating over what went wrong, when, and how and why. A day given to self-doubt, unpleasant introspection and existential angst.

Scenario #2, Miko's V-Day with MeCha. Friendship, healing, perspective, fun, silliness, and kindness abound. Recognition that despite the occasional dumping, she can still be desirable and lovable. No obsessing over lost love for too long, because every few minutes it's time to write or check the Valentines again. And the great pleasure of indulging in the magical mystery of the MeCha crush.

Which one looks nicer?

So, you guys, you made a huge difference. This is a wonderful little community and I'm so glad I got involved here.

I'll close by echoing seanyboy:

Witness the power of the internet, and it's hitherto unseen ability to make me feel loved.

posted by Miko 15 February | 10:38

So awesome- we need to do this every year for V-Day! I have kept all of mine, and might just print them out and post them on my wall :-D

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 15 February | 10:39

Thumbs and dildos up to Taz and Dodgy!

posted by matildaben 15 February | 11:00

That was wicked fun, Mr. Geezer, sir. Much thanks to you and the divine Lady Taz for the high-spirited shenanigans.

posted by jrossi4r 15 February | 11:24

Dildos for everyone!

posted by muddgirl 15 February | 11:28

I really think we should do this periodically. It really made my day.

You are all a buncha saucy little minxes, aren't you?

I don't know what you're talking about.

posted by Specklet 15 February | 11:37

Oh. My. Stars.

Those made me so giddy, I had oot under the covers and giggle like a schoolgirl. And now I'm blushing furiously. Thank you so much, bunnies!

How I wish I'd seen this earlier, but the wifi is hinky (again)and my schedule's all over the map and my room still isn't clean because I can't stop running around taking pictures of weird things that don't make any sense to anyone but me. Nevertheless, you guys are all very, very close to my heart.

Happy belated Valentine's Day, beautiful funny bunnies, may the coming days be full of hugs and whuffles and cuddles and warm cookie kisses.

posted by Frisbee Girl 15 February | 12:19

Yeah, we could do it for every holiday. Like on St Patrick's Day I can send messages to people like "Oh, ye knows what day it tis. Aye be a wee leprechaun and me needs me blarney stone polished if ye knows what aye mean." Or something.

posted by weretable and the undead chairs 15 February | 12:20

Er, that was in reply to Specklet's "we should do this periodically" post. Frisbee snuck a post in between! Hi Frisbee.

posted by weretable and the undead chairs 15 February | 12:22

Hi, weretable! Rest assured, my sneakitude is very high.

posted by Frisbee Girl 15 February | 12:32

I had such a perfect post set up in my head for today... all about feeling lonely and dejected that no one sent me a message.

Then, late last night as I started to mentally compose my post, I check one more time......

A screen name that makes me smile For you I'd go that extra mile.

Well, garsh! They say women love a guy that can make them laugh, right? Thank you to whoever!

And I also saw this one this morning:

Somebunny loves you

Awwwww! ;- )
