MORFORD: The 20 worst Valentine's gifts
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 2/13/8 | Mark Morford

Posted on 02/13/2008 7:59:41 AM PST by SmithL

Love means never accidentally running over her cat with a lawnmower. Also, avoid these -

I am, as always, here to help. This Valentine's Day, be sure to avoid these highly unpleasant gifts. Hey, you want to find love and have sex, right? I mean, someday? OK then.

1) Copy of $3.1 trillion Bush budget.
Do not tell that special someone you love them by gutting arts funding in schools, mental health services, Medicare and Medicaid and programs that bring low-income kids to Washington as you create record deficits and humiliate the nation once again, all in an effort to offset a massive increase in Pentagon spending and to fight horrible, unwinnable wars and to appease your dad. Reminder: Dick Cheney reads this instead of Hustler.

2) Hello Kitty contact lenses.
Suitable only for compulsive scab-pickers and those who willingly snort anything that comes from the paint-stripper aisle of the hardware store, and/or those who dream of what it will be like to one day live among the feral cats in Golden Gate Park, licking your rancid fur and humping park benches and moaning at the moon like Amy Winehouse at a court hearing. If you do stick these creepy suckers in your eyes, please walk casually into the psych ward of any decent hospital in the nation. They will admit you immediately.

3) 14-karat gold heart pendant with diamonds from Zales at the mall.
I must've been about 15 or so, had an older girlfriend on whom I took a giant dangerous risk and spent a whopping $79 on one of these beauties, which was a ton of dough but who cares because dude I loved her and it had diamonds, I mean diamonds, so my love must've been serious,

Only in a liberal moonbats mind does an increase mean a gutting of services!

It is sort of funny, in a sick, twisted way.

I don’t buy that this guy ever had a girlfriend unless...

1. She was a faghag.
2. He calls his faggot BF his “girlfriend”.

He is tasteless if he doesn’t like Russell Stover chocolates from Walgreens.

Actually, I agree with him on that one. "Russell Stover" is a perfect synonym for "cheap", and it does have kind of an artificial-flavor taste, just like Hershey's and other low-cost chocolate brands.

For gifts, always stick with Godiva, See's, or other premium brands. ;)

Personally, I think a nice pair of socks is a wonderful way to say “I love you.”

I disagree about Hershey’s. But I am a big fan of Harbor Sweets from Salem MA. Fantastic stuff.

How about a vacuum? Does that say LOVE or what?

The real number 1: McCain, Hillary, or Obama for President.

LOL!

Mrs. Smokin' Joe has really wanted a vacuum (getting back to one with a filter bag--she's done with 'bagless' ones) for some time, and I found her a good one. So I got her a Valentine's day present that really sucks... and she's thrilled with it! (8^D)

I bought my GF a snow shovel one Christmas. I wrapped it and put a big bow on it. She needed a shovel and she was always stealing mine... The humor at the time was lost. Now its a great story.

Good one!!

My friend gave his wife an anniversary card.
It said “Congratulations on your Anniversary.”

If the vacuum bag compartment is filled with Godiva chocolates, it might work. ;-)
