Yay, nudity doesn't support terrorism! :)

P.S. You're silly.

Last year, visitors had a much better sense of humor. It's a joke, people. It's *all* a joke. The terrorism thing should have been a dead giveaway. So much for my plans to re-run this every year. :-)

I'm quite interested in your statements that pornography and lingerie (!) support terrorism. What in the world are you talking about?

Pass over the chocolate? Are you kidding? I think chocolate on Valentine's Day should be mandatory. Even if I get nothing else....chocolate makes me (and most other women I know) quite happy...much more so than papaya ever could. Give up the lingerie and expensive restaurants, but not my beloved chocolate!

Flaime: I have no doubt. Those restaurants, while transcendent, don't really fit into a "frugal Valentine's Day" plan. A more frugal approach might be to disguise yourself as a bus boy and pick the scraps from other people's plates when you clear the tables. Same restaurant, same food... :-)

There is a reason that people will save months to have dinner at Per Se or The French Laundry...because eating there is an almost transcendent experience.

True, spending money isn't necessary on V-day, but it can also be a reminder to actually spend some of that hard-earned money on someone you love every now and then. I did and it was one of the most memorable experiences in my life.
