I can think of no better way to ignore stuff at work than by spending the day sending goofy valentines.

posted by JanetLand 14 February | 06:42

Oh god this, I love this! I'm in like Flynn.

Thanks for doing this again, chrismear!

I am going to send SO many Valentines!

posted by Eideteker 14 February | 07:50

thanks chrismear! but I can't access it; it says 'we're sorry, something wrong' when I try to reset my password after I say I've updated my profile with the special code

Firas and anyone else who was having trouble signing up: I've just fixed it (I think) -- please try it again and let me know!

Happy Valentine's everyone!

Yay. In!

posted by ufez 14 February | 09:11

I'm all over this. I find acting affectionate is a good way to get treats.

posted by Trilby 14 February | 09:16

it worked, it worked! I have some already! I'm beyond myself with excitement! alas I am burdened by the yoke of reciprocation! to whom to whom? who knows, I'll send some to anyone I can think of!

posted by Firas 14 February | 09:18

I may not get to send mine out till this evening, but I'm definitely in!

posted by BoringPostcards 14 February | 09:21

I'm as excited as I used to be in grade school!

posted by Orange Swan 14 February | 09:33

chrismear, you sweetheart, thank you for this!

posted by Elsa 14 February | 09:41

I'm taking part!!!

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 14 February | 09:42

Thanks chrismear! Hope everyone has fun. Remember the new users!

Note to new users: for the past few years we've had a tradition of sending anonymous Valentines' messages to one another. It's sweet and fun...a nice way to let your internet buddies know how much you like them. Please jump in, and say a little something in this thread to let us all know you're in for today.

As for me, I'm in, but I'm heading to an all day workshop so I probably won't be able to send any til tonight!

posted by Miko 14 February | 09:43

Wheee! I am in

I've had 2 people claiming to be the yearly cupcake sender. Thanks, but next year send liquor.

posted by jonmc 14 February | 11:18

I am not the yearly cupcake sender. Next time, send liquor to him and a cupcake to me.

posted by Elsa 14 February | 11:20

If only I could blow off the day and send valentines. I'm kind of off to a pretty good start, though. But no, the bulk of it will have to wait for evening. Dammit.

posted by ethylene 14 February | 11:35

I'm in!

posted by Twiggy 14 February | 11:39

YAY YAY YAY!

posted by Madamina 14 February | 11:41

yay!!!!!!
I haven't been as active here the past year as I used to, but I'm totally gonna make up for it in valentines!

posted by casarkos 14 February | 11:45

Oh man I have already gotten three valentines from the future - seriously, they're timestamped four or five hours from now. That is excellent! Thank you! I am in therefore.

posted by mygothlaundry 14 February | 11:45

I'm in.

posted by brujita 14 February | 11:48

Oh dear, apparently I'm feeling distinctly sappy this valentines. Hrm. Must find the funny.

posted by ethylene 14 February | 11:57

I'm SO in.

Woo hoo! I'ma valentine the #%@$ out of you people.

posted by jrossi4r 14 February | 12:55

How lovely to see Bunnyhead again on the Valentine's page.

posted by Senyar 14 February | 12:59

You guys are all hilarious; this is making my day.

posted by punchtothehead 14 February | 13:03

New users, no need to be shy! Post here so other members know you're signed up. You might be surprised...

posted by Elsa 14 February | 13:06

Yay fun!

posted by faineant 14 February | 13:41

Blegh, so sick. I'm not feeling the lurve this year. Maybe later.

posted by msali 14 February | 13:52

Being sick is no fun! This however, is terribly fun, as usual. It's also kinda cool to be able to look back over the previous years' valentines!

posted by richat 14 February | 14:24

So far, my favorite is the one that just says, "Eideteker." V. postmodern.

posted by Eideteker 14 February | 14:38

Though most of them have been pretty tame. Maybe the spicy ones will come later?

posted by Eideteker 14 February | 14:44

I've been getting some HAWT ones!

posted by JanetLand 14 February | 15:00

I have learned some new words today!

posted by rainbaby 14 February | 15:17

Bunnies are all so smart and all like to crack on 'pode/antipodean. I love it.

posted by gaspode 14 February | 15:31

Ok, my inbox is flagging. Clearly, you people are not sending out multiples. At least, not to me. =(

posted by Eideteker 14 February | 15:54

More more more!

posted by rmless2 14 February | 16:02

Yes, please! I'm gonna spice it up! Woo! Yeah!

posted by Specklet 14 February | 16:19

I love this! What a great idea! So do most people do a little verse or just write something? I've gotten some of each and I love it-I need to think of my own cool poem to send out.

posted by supercapitalist 14 February | 16:22

Valentines whuffles? Definitely!

posted by toastedbeagle 14 February | 16:28

I am intrigued by the person who described me as a "wonderful enigma." I like to think that I'm an open book... but then again, I suppose that when one likes/discusses such a weird mix of everything, that's as good a label as anything :)

Keep it up, bunnies!

posted by Madamina 14 February | 17:01

It's fun...some are short and sweet, others take the form of a verse...others are in between and more...INTERESTING. Heh heh.

posted by richat 14 February | 17:02

Yeah, I didn't know we were supposed to be spicy and/or "interesting." I feel generic now. haha

posted by supercapitalist 14 February | 17:08

In, in, in. It was fun sending these!

posted by bearwife 14 February | 17:19

OMG I have some in there already! Wheeee!

posted by gomichild 14 February | 17:54

Sheesh, the ones I sent were WAY too clean. Just got a look at my inbox and am experiencing serious blushing.

posted by bearwife 14 February | 17:56

How lovely to see Bunnyhead again

I wasn't expecting to feel so sentimental about him/her/it, but yes.

posted by tangerine 14 February | 18:16

supercapitalist! I think all forms are appreciated, at least, they are by ME.

posted by richat 14 February | 18:41

So far, my favorite is the one that just says, "Eideteker." V. postmodern.

Bah, I hoped you'd like mine best.

posted by galadriel 14 February | 19:17

Some of mine are downright mash notes set to verse!

(scandalous!)

posted by The Whelk 14 February | 19:39

woohoo!

posted by elephantday 14 February | 19:44

Ok, spacepants person, I think I love you. Unless you sent that to many bunnies, then I feel cheap.

Seriously, this year is the most I haven't recognized senders. Well played buns.

posted by rainbaby 14 February | 20:07

So far, my favorite is the one that just says, "Eideteker." V. postmodern.

Hey I got that one too!

posted by rhapsodie 14 February | 20:13

Hot diggity doodah I finished work for the day, so look out, peeps.

posted by chewatadistance 14 February | 20:20

Happy Valentine's Day, my bunny friends! I love doing these Valentines!

posted by redvixen 14 February | 20:29

omg, if I am not mistaken, and I quite possibly am, chewatadistance is drunk.

posted by rainbaby 14 February | 20:31

You guys will never guess what I sent. :D

posted by chewatadistance 14 February | 20:41

This is fun! Can we do this for other holidays? Presidents Day is coming up. Maybe we could share mattress sales.

posted by toastedbeagle 14 February | 21:40

my goal is to always send more the I get, I'm at 27/43 ratio now...

posted by The Whelk 14 February | 22:25

What's this about sharing mattresses?

posted by box 14 February | 22:39

Yay, thanks for my Valentines, bunnies! I had a crap day at work and these are awesome. (Especially the ones that rhyme and the ooh la la spicy ones!)

Okay, gonna send some more.

posted by Specklet 14 February | 22:49

I think I'm starting to send repeats. I just love you bunnies that much.

posted by casarkos 14 February | 23:18

Awww....I wasn't expecting any, since I am new, but wow!! Thanks for making me feel all included and stuff. (I got a few blush-worthy ones, too)

posted by fancyoats 14 February | 23:24

how long will the valentines be open for? I think I might need to go to bed.

posted by gaspode 14 February | 23:30

Me too! Just got back! Need to send valentines! How about an extension?

posted by Miko 14 February | 23:32

Yay! I got valentines! Totally made my whole day! Sent quite a few, maybe send some more before bed!

posted by Twiggy 15 February | 00:10

Thank you for the valentines! It's been a lovely bright spot in my day.

posted by faineant 15 February | 00:22

Thank you so much to those who sent me Valentines. I've had a crappy day, and they mean a lot to me.

posted by occhiblu 15 February | 00:34

Thank you bunnies! I failed to get any spicy ones though... mostly requests for me to cook (^_~)...

posted by gomichild 15 February | 01:59

Awww Anon-bunny thanks for the suggestive Valentine!

posted by gomichild 15 February | 02:15

After a day at work and then a 3.5 hour (drama-filled) apartment council meeting and then a little tequila and Wii games with my guy, I FINALLY got to send out bunnyloves. It was so fun! I really needed to have some random happy today.

I don't think I got a chance to send any last year, so I was glad it wasn't over yet.

Thank you chrismear, for the wonderful tradition. I really appreciate it.

posted by lilywing13 15 February | 03:53

I got almost as many as the person, and lots of head scritches. Meow!!!
