Be mine

It's almost that time again. Valentine's Day. Could they have invented a stupider holiday, really? Anyway, in my house, Valentine's Day doesn't really happen. SOMEONE has a job that (lucky for him) forces him to work awwwl night long that night, and the kids and I eat chocolate dipped chocolate for dinner and then I drown my sorrows in a bottle of Johny Depp. It's alright; I'm used to it. But this year I want a Valentine, god damn it. There is no way I'll win The Retropolitan's contest (bastard riggs it against me every stinking year) and so I thought I'd open it up to you all.

Would you like to be MY Valentine? I'll understand if you decide to just go be Retro's (he's much cooler than I am) but if you think you'd like the job, you could have it in only a few, easy steps.

Below is a short questionnaire. Simply fill in the blanks. It's like Mad Libs for booty. Leave an ANONYMOUS comment* with your answers, and I will announce the top three** winning answers on February 1st.



There are no wrong answers here, kids. It's even ok if you don't fill in all the questions; I'm all about quality over quantity***.



The mostest awesomest three answers win my undying affection, a virtual smooch, and one rockin' Valentine's Day mix courtesy of Bit Torrent very legal iTunes downloads.

"Do you like ___________ and getting _________________?"

"I would _____________ - I'd ____________, Walk the wire for you - ya I'd ___________."

"I wanna _________________on the mountains, until the _____________________."

"I swear that I can ____________ in your ____________."


"What about ____, don't you want someone to ______________?"

And last but oh, no, not least:

"You're here in my _____, and my ____ will ____________."



*I like to play fair. Not-anonymous answers will not be counted, no matter how freaking cool they are.

**Yes, three. I would like 3 Valentine's. I need one for the 5:30-7:30 shift, the awkward, sober happy hour date. I need one for the 8-10 shift, the dinner and champagne in stilettos. I also require one for the 10:30 until god-knows-when shift, the "I'm gonna hate myself in the morning for this one" date. The CD's awarded will correspond appropriately.

***The line that was GOING to go there? You'd disown me for it. Just sayin'.

So, um, stupid question here...if you want the answers to be ANONYMOUS, how will you know who your Valentines ARE?

(P.S. I really think you should just BOOKMARK me so you don't almost make that FATAL MISTAKE again!!)

Okay. Awesome idea. How long do we have? I need to complete this with a drink in my hand. Somehow, I am funnier on wine.

BTW... you are tagged because you rock!

I’m all about the third shift. Just imagine I have the voice of The Ladies’ Man from Saturday Night Live.

"Do you like chocolate and getting bathed in champagne?"

"I would do that for you -- I'd sigh for you, Walk the wire for you -- ya I'd be all romantic and shit for you."

"I wanna dance with you on the mountains, until the Courvoisier runs out."

"I swear that I can be legendary in your book club, if only you give me a chance."

"What about tomorrow, don't you want someone to help you find your panties? Or lose them again? Please stay. Besides…"

"You're here in my bed already, and my wife will never know. She’s in Tucson.”
