ooops!

I don't beleive anyone should need a excuse to share candy, flowers and gifts with their counterpart. However I do approve of the Spanish holiday: books and lovers day. Couples exchange books and roses, the literature is often tastefully erotic. It's a bit more grown up than Valentines day and at least in my neck of the woods has yet to be discovered for commercial exploitation.

As always I will have to sit out this round of Calvinball as local strategic arms limitation treaties dissalow the use of flash-bang grenades and I'm fresh out of Mexican dynamite.

I have to say I kinda like the idea of books and lovers day, even if the idea of someone giving me a naughty (even tastefully naughty) book slightly mortifying.

Is it a sign of my total dorkdom that when you said books and lovers I immedietly thought of Shepard Book and thought 'ooo er'?

right, the serious busines of calvin ball.

I hate to go all Mr. Universe on you, but a guy named Jackson Browne wrote a song called "Lawyers in Love". Your rhetorical question made me think of it. It's a pretty good song. Hum...

I like your idea of rejecting Valentine's Day. Yay! No tacky heart stuff, though I'm not abject to choclolates or flowers. Those candy hearts are plechy, though (what go-se!).

Calvinball? Interesting. I think I may have to partake of the fun.

I've paid my dues -
Time after time -
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime -
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face -
But I've come through

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls -
You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it
-
I thank you all -

But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise -
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race -
And I ain't gonna lose -

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -

lol. I was just arguing with someone over whether or not the cargo bay game was Calvinball and I asserted that it could NOT be because they were not wearing masks. I even had to dig up the official Calvinball Rules to prove my point.

I think they were playing some crazy version of Basketball. That's what it's like when I play.

Just a random thought. I was ordering some communion supplies out of thise catholic catalog and they had all these pictures of saints and I was flipping through. I found one for me. St. Dymphna, patron saint of mental health.
