I know this probably makes me sound bitter or something, but I hate this stupid holiday. Guys really need a reason to treat their gfs/wives well? Really? You can't do something nice just because its a Wednesday? You need the pudgy, acne faced kid behind the counter at CVS to remind you to buy candy and a card?
Just like every other holiday, this day has been so overly commercialized, it has almost ceased to have any meaning. I would bet money that at least 50% of those polled would have no idea about the story of St. Valentine. Now, granted, I will be flying solo on the holiday this year. But I still think it lame and thought it lame when I had someone to buy flowers/candy/jewelry/a card for. The thing is, I didn't need FTD or someone on the teevee to tell me to do it and I didn't need a day in the calendar either.

It seems to me there was a Valentine's Day in 2000 or 2001 when grill forgot he had a date and failed to show. Talk about lame.
mgp knows that is a gross misrepresentation of actual events. Much like the "I never conflated Iraq and 9/11" or Andy Pettite's recollection of Clemens' steroid use, this is something mgp misremembers.
Either that, or mgp is perpetuating this myth for the benefit of his own sense of humor now that this "date" is married. "Oh what could have been" is a quote I've heard more than once.
Sounds a bit defensive to me.
I'm not being defensive. I'm just pointing out the fact that no date was forgotten, plans were just altered close to the time of the actual date.
