WHOOO HOOOOO!

Does chrismear get the most valentines as the keeper of the valentines?

He better had! Thanks so much, chrismear! I may not be around tomorrow to play, so I'm especially grateful that for that little bit of time-zone wiggle room!

Fun, as always!

I get a busted link trying to update my profile page. Do I direct that to you or elsewhere?

posted by jessamyn 13 February | 22:10

I have fixed it. I have a valentine from tomorrow!

posted by jessamyn 13 February | 22:14

Is there a list anywhere of those that are participating? There are a couple I'd like to send, but I don't know if said members are part of it or not.

Woot Woot! I am all over this. Tomorrow.

Hurray, I'm there!!!!!

Most excellent.

YAY!! I'm composing them now.

Yay!

I sent out a half dozen at halloween that I had completely forgotten about and they made me laugh when I found them this morning.

posted by Wolfdog 14 February | 09:46

YES

posted by Specklet 14 February | 09:52

Oooh. I'm pledging to send one to everyone who posts here!

posted by Stewriffic 14 February | 10:07

I might not be able to write Valentines with my usual prolixity, because I'm packing up the house and cleaning and getting ready to move, but I LOVES YA BABIES! ALL O' YUZ CRAZY CRITTERS!

posted by Miko 14 February | 10:23

I got one from a few years ago that calls me a bitch. Can you (chrismear) delete old valentines?

posted by jessamyn 14 February | 10:40

Geez Louise. I hope my valentine, in some small way, offsets that negative one.

posted by box 14 February | 10:53

Can't believe somebody used this to be a big meanie! Shame on you, turdball!

posted by fluffy battle kitten 14 February | 10:59

It think someone must have made a typo, jessamyn; clearly, they meant to say you're the best.

I mean, facts are facts.

posted by Elsa 14 February | 11:20

Grrr. I will check that out.

posted by chrismear 14 February | 11:24

Whee!

Valentines sure are fun to read;
it's better than eating a sunflower seed.

But even more fun is writing these treats
to tell all the bunnies you think they are neat.

posted by brina 14 February | 11:32

I am out to break records! But not for originality, it's too early for that.

posted by casarkos 14 February | 11:46

I sent 106 in 2007. Good luck!

posted by Eideteker 14 February | 12:09

That pisses me off. Assholes should be named and shamed.

<3s for everyone!

posted by grouse 14 February | 12:23

and I am on, cause of course

posted by The Whelk 14 February | 12:29

I think someone was trying to be funny, honestly...

If you won't be my valentine, I'LL FUCKING FLAME OUT ON METATALK AND CLOSE MY ACCOUNT, BITCH.

I do it because I love you

But this sort of thing would be funnier if there weren't sociopaths sending me stuff like this every so often (rarely, but more than never). I'm pretty inured to it generally, the world is full of weirdos, and I didn't mean to make this into some sort of pity party, but yeah if someone could delete that [4:44, 2/14/08] I'd be appreciative.

How awful! I just got one coy possible flirting - which is exactly how a valentine should go. Coy possible flirting and absurd haikus

posted by The Whelk 14 February | 12:37

Oh, I see. That kind of ah-haha exaggerated insult thing is tricky; it was probably sent by someone who thinks it's so crazily over-the-top that no one could possibly ever never never ever say it in earnest, so they say it as a goony joke... but of course, the world has loons as well as goons in it, so there are a few people who could say it in earnest.

Mayhap a cuddly SMOOCH could make it better? SMOOOOOOOOOOOOCHJESSAMYN.

posted by Elsa 14 February | 12:47

I would like to apologize if any of my Valentines cross the line. I didn't send jessamyn's, but some of y'all is just too sexay for me to keep it to myself.

posted by Eideteker 14 February | 12:52

I just realized I'm starting to send repeats. Oops.

posted by casarkos 14 February | 15:01

Man, my mental pledge to send out two for every one received is borking my day. Quite fun, but I'm getting writer's block now.

posted by ufez 14 February | 15:10

I tend to re-use valentines I receive that I think are funny- plain ole' copy and pasting. Being anonymous makes plagiarism so appealing, and so easy! I even think I was the one who sent jessamyn the one she posted above, because I got it from somebody else and thought it was funny and sent it out to a number of people.

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 14 February | 15:38

Do people who haven't signed up get notified in any way that they were sent one?

posted by flex 14 February | 15:54

Sure, what the hell--flex, I just sent you a valentine.

posted by box 14 February | 16:05

Aw, thanks! I already signed up - I wanted to know if other people would get mine if they hadn't. :)

posted by flex 14 February | 16:32

Mine went out sometime in the last 24 hours.

posted by Ardiril 14 February | 16:34

I got a Queers lyric in minw!

*is amazed at all the lovin'*

*snogs everyone*

posted by gomichild 14 February | 18:20

Awesome, Whelk. I had hoped you'd know that song. It's one of my favorite romantic ballads of all time.

posted by ufez 14 February | 18:20

Part of me wants to start sending out valentines willy nilly until time is up. Part of me says it's been done before, by me. There are all these valentines that will probably never be claimed and they are probably the better for it.
I sit as of this moment undecided.

posted by ethylene 14 February | 18:40

Someone remembered me! Multiple someones! Thank you! *sniff* And I thought I was just a threadkill around here...

I can be forgiven for being obtuse, right?

right?

RIGHT?!

posted by The Whelk 14 February | 22:21

I was trying to be clever, then I got tired and just went for pithy and sincere.
But honestly, I'm just posting in this thread so all y'all will see me and remember to send me valentines. 'Cuz I'm whorey like that.

posted by jrossi4r 14 February | 22:21

awwwwww thanks to all the people who sent me a Valentine *HUGS*

You call that OBTUSE? In some states that'd get you arrested.

I keed. I only know who sent two Valentines for sure, one because they identified, the other for mentioning fried okra.

posted by BoringPostcards 14 February | 23:02

Fried Okra is pretty great.

posted by The Whelk 14 February | 23:11

I never liked fried okra until a Southerner made it for me. And Hot Damn, that was tasty. I don't even know when okra would be available in Alaska so I could try making it myself.

Also: LOVING my bunnytines! Hugs for everyone!!

posted by rhapsodie 14 February | 23:15

Wow, I've almost got as many as I've sent for once!

posted by Eideteker 14 February | 23:18

I would only recommend using fresh okra for fried okra. Frozen and canned okra is only good for soups and stews, and even then, I only put it in the pot a couple minutes before I serve it. Frozen breaded okra is alright, but the oil must be to temperature, and I would only cook one serving at a time.

posted by Ardiril 14 February | 23:20

I got some. :O

I send some!

I bet you have a crush on someone. It's okay to admit it.

SHURRUP bunnylove you have no idea what you're talking about

posted by notquitemaryann 14 February | 23:34

what :(

posted by notquitemaryann 14 February | 23:38

I've been swamped the last two weeks and not been here much and I just forgot about this. But I got a couple dozen out in the last half hour. I'll send more tomorrow!

posted by arse_hat 15 February | 01:27

I am so confused.

posted by notquitemaryann 15 February | 02:38

I am so confused.

My work here is done.

posted by Eideteker 15 February | 06:46

jessamyn: Sorry, my internet connection's been on the flake. Should be gone now.

notquitemaryann: Drop me a line if something's broken, or someone's being nasty or whatever.

Glad the rest of you are having fun! You have 12 more hours of Valentine's goodness...

posted by chrismear 15 February | 06:54

I feel loved. :)

I'm here! I'm here!

posted by Madamina 15 February | 12:51

It's a good confusion.

posted by notquitemaryann 15 February | 16:02

Is there time? To send a whole bunch of valentines? To one person over and over? Or five random people? Who have to work together to solve riddles unlocking magical prizes?
Well, is there?

posted by ethylene 15 February | 19:53

I got one in 2008! Never looked until now. Thanks, whoever it was. SMOOCH.

posted by altolinguistic 18 February | 09:14

I got invited to a threesome. First time ever in my life that's happened.
