So what romantic Valentine are you getting your wife, girlfriend, husband, boyfriend, significant other (or any combination as appropriate)?
14I’m getting the wife a bidet for Valentine’s Day. I mean, bidet is French right? Gotta be romantic, right? Anything French has to be romantic, right?
Besides, it’ll look great with the Poop Step I got her for Christmas.
Right?

A funny card & some dark chocolate. Not very exciting, but safe
@compunaut Hubby and I always had a deal… Valentines was a made up holiday so we’d get each other a card. That’s it. Although, usually a box of good chocolates went along with the card. We didn’t need the pressure.
I bought myself an awesome heart-shaped necklace. Can’t wait to see if I’m surprised on Valentine’s Day.
HIKING! VIKINGS! STRIKE KING [BRAND FISHING LURES]! AWESOME!
The Jeffersons Funko Pops. Nothing says love like George and Weezy.
@lumpthar
Homemade cookies and sex.
@CaptAmehrican So, you able to manage expectations? Did your thread help?
(for those who missed it: https://meh.com/forum/topics/guys-weigh-in-please)
@MagnaVis had a conversation about it this weekend. He asked me what I wanted I told him I think it is a silly hallmark holiday but that i am enough of a sap that I want to be greeted with a mindblowing kiss and the words" happy valentines day sweetheart" but no stuff or anything elaborate. I asked him what he wants and he said cookies and sex. I figure I want him to take me at my work and so I am going to give him exactly what he asked for.
@CaptAmehrican Workplace sex? Pretty bold!
@MagnaVis ugh typo at my word not at work ugh
@CaptAmehrican Nice, sounds like that worked out really well! Good for you!
@CaptAmehrican @MagnaVis hahahaha … such a perfect typo!
I’m not sure if you’re joking… But I really DID get the wife a bidet one Valentine’s day.
It was intended as a joke, she loved it. A bidet changes your life. Not to mention being better for environment since you use less paper… You feel so squeaky clean back there
@OnionSoup Literally, not kidding. Am I a catch or what?
(This is not a poll. Unless of course you agree I’m an awesome catch.)
POKER! JOKER! NOT MEDIOCRE! AWESOME!
@Mehrocco_Mole well, considering I came up with the same idea that you did, I would have to agree that you are awe-some. (Hopefully putting the dash there will not cause mediocrebot to respond).
@Mehrocco_Mole still time to order a toilet bowl motion sensitive LED light from Amazon.
That was my last minute gift order today.
@Mehrocco_Mole my wife likes the Led toilet bowl. How did the bidet go down?
@OnionSoup She loves it! I got the one with the heated water. It didn’t have the light but that may come later.
Three of my cuties really don’t care about Valentine’s Day and/or have plans with their other partners, so they’ll get a sweet text day of and that’s about it. Likewise with the two sweeties who live nowhere near me.
In one case, though, I’m going all out.
You see, he’s a big fan of The Venture Bros. There’s a giant artbook of storyboards, concept art, and interviews for each episode of the first six seasons and the various merch that was out before the start of the seventh. It’s like 400 pages long, and coffee table book sized.
I picked this up months ago, and started working my way through it, sticking post it notes in with commentary - our inside jokes, my reactions, et cetera. I would like it to be noted that I’m not a huge fan of the show myself, but do have more respect for it doing this project.
It should - should - be done in time for Valentine’s Day.
…It was supposed to be done in time for New Year’s (which we celebrate as our December-ish Holiday together, as he’s not-practicing-but-still-Jewish and I’m ex-Catholic.) But you know. I do my best.
@Kawa well, i LOVE the venture brothers (and my partner does too). i wish i didn’t have to wait such long times in between seasons but i understand given all the work that goes into it. i hope the book gets finished and they love it, although i can’t imagine it being anything short of amazing.

/giphy Freeman hes right you know
@RiotDemon Blue Jeans? Billy Joel album? Blueberry Jelly? Broccoli Jambalaya? (Blah! That last one sounds nasty. You’d probably want to spit that out.)
/giphy BJ
@Mehrocco_Mole Might not be the only thing she wants to spit out.
@cinoclav I think I speak for men when I say spitters are quitters. The ones who say, “you don’t speak for me” are only saying that because they are afraid they won’t get BJs at all otherwise.
@Mehrocco_Mole Billie Jean, sheesh!
/youtube Billie Jean
@cinoclav @Mehrocco_Mole @MagnaVis lol, trying to keep it clean in here.
/giphy wink
@RiotDemon your doing surprisingly well considering the topic. I don’t know what was expected of a poll like this anyway. Keep fighting the good fight!
@MagnaVis there’s many comments I want to say, but this probably is not the right site, lol
@RiotDemon We won’t know until someone ventures into the unknown… I can go first…
I like butt stuff. I’d very like to be someone’s shall princess for Valentine’s day!
Let’s wait and see what happens?
@MagnaVis shall princess? Is that what you meant to type?
@RiotDemon lol, nope! Supposed to say “anal princess”
@MagnaVis @RiotDemon And I thought romance was dead.
@RiotDemon @sammydog01 you thought wrong, friend! Naturally, I have no Valentine this year. Take that as you will.
@MagnaVis is that like a pillow princess?
@RiotDemon if you’re into humping your pillow with a strap on while calling it your princess, then yes!
That’s tongue in cheek; I enjoy giving as much as I enjoy receiving. Also, I’m a straight cis male, which I also think conflicts with the slang implication.
@MagnaVis I actually hadn’t heard the term pillow princess in a while so I looked it up to make sure it was what I remembered. Within the first few hits was an article trying to help guys enjoy being with one. It was really sad.
@RiotDemon I just looked it up again. I thought it generally applied to lesbians, seems it just generally applies to women more interested in being passive parties during sex, straight or otherwise. You’re right, that is sad.

Hey VolMods, any chance of adding “Thursday February 14 2019” to the title of this post?
@aetris I tried but I ran out of characters.
@aetris I can edit the title if @Mehrocco_Mole wants me to edit it to something within the limit.
@Mehrocco_Mole @RiotDemon - It’s OK, as long as it’s here SOMEwhere, I probably won’t forget it. At least until tomorrow.
I bought the hubbie a set of handlebars for his motorcycle. I was going to get him a PS4 but he wanted the handlebars more.
@tnhillbillygal easy choice …
I bought my wife a Quip toothbrush (yes, got it on meh!). Have you SEEN the shipping case it comes in? I want to meet their packaging designer and shake their hand - even if only because they got chutzpah in spades! Still debating whether or not to give it to her in a public restaurant…
@Jon651 I didn’t see it. Is it shaped like a vibrator? Bunny? Silver bullet?
@AZnatural1 It’s very, um, phallic…
Oh, shit, is it that time of year again?
@sammydog01 yes indeed almost the 14th. February 14th of course is famous for being ferris wheel day.
A stuffed Kiwi
@boredashell Please continue with your explanation/story.
/giphy All agog
@Mehrocco_Mole well the significant other might see this so I’m going to help it vague and leave the valuables out. I got her a giant stuffed kiwi because it is the most adorable of the flightless birds and it wasn’t easy to find something better than last year’s giant Valentine’s turtle
The Wholefoods Amazon Prime Valentine deal. Two dozen roses in one of many colors for $19.99. A very nice set of flowers for a sweet price.
Going on a cruise.
@mike808 Sounds nice. Not as classy as my bidet but nonetheless nice.
@mike808 Hahaha that’s fantastic XD Such a well-placed fender…
Nuthin’!
Everyday is Valentine’s Day at our house. ( koff )
technically “nothing”, because his birthday is today, and i have already bought him a card and gifts as well as baked him a cake and am making him a steak dinner. i could have saved some of that for valentine’s day, but i prefer to do it all on his birthday instead. then on v-day i’ll make a different nice dinner. sometimes he gets me something if he comes across something really good (last year i got a print of one of our favorite web comics) other times we skip it. honestly v-day doesn’t matter that much to me, my birthday is the big one, and i also like xmas & NYE. (i do look forward to the valentine my mom sends every year though :))
Well, this will be the first Valentine’s Day in quite a few years that I actually have a boyfriend for, so even though it’s a cheesy commercialized holiday I’m planning to make the best of it. He’s local and super into inflatables like me, so I’ve bought him a big inflatable teddy bear holding a heart. To anyone else it’d probably be a gimmicky gift but considering the mutual love for inflatables I think he will adore it. Then it will be dinner at Taco Bell, followed by a nice night with my big inflatable wolf, Fenris! (Pictured below) I’m really looking forward to it.
(Oh, and if he is somehow actually browsing Meh and sees this post, sorry for ruining the surprise, Cameron, I love you!)
@PooltoyWolf why does he have a big bandaid on his snoot?
@RiotDemon Fenris has many patches but the big bandage is actually a fake one! I thought it looked cute, and gives him character. It’s a uniquely Fenris look.
@PooltoyWolf how’d it go?
@RiotDemon He won’t be able to make it until tomorrow, but plans are the same
@RiotDemon Since you asked, we had a wonderful day together. I’m a volunteer (soon to be paid!) host at my local railroad museum, so the two of us went there together and I showed him around while I worked. After that, we had a nice dinner at Waffle House, then retired to my place for fun with Fenris. ;3 It was a great time
@PooltoyWolf
/image Yay! Animated
@RiotDemon Awww thanks!
I am make myself dinner
@tinamarie1974 damn phone…should have said I will make myself dinner.
@tinamarie1974 Same here. Although, tomorrow, I’m getting a massage and taking myself out to dinner.
@lseeber Well played!
My wife got me cheap steel-toe work boots so I don’t cry when I drop stuff on my toes while doing stuff on her honey-do list.
That storm door coming down on my pinkie toe had a lot more force behind it than it looked like, dammit!

@medz Were you doing home improvement in sandals, again?

Man, giphy is lame today
@compunaut no.
/giphy lawn mowing sneakers
Words fail me. I’m sure y’all will have some.
@mike808 hahahaha.
Aaargh! Why does it DO that?!?
@aetris That’s nice. My husband used to do that for me when we were dating. Nice table setting, dinner…etc, etc… But no jerky on the table. He would sprinkle little candy hearts.
@lseeber -
But Meh wasn’t SELLING little candy hearts (I’m kind of surprised)!
@aetris @lseeber necco didn’t make sweetheartsthis year due to some issues with the company being bought
@aetris Yeah… it is surprising, isn’t it?
@aetris @CaptAmehrican They probably had a few billion left over from previous yrs anyway.
