Well said. The only time I ever cared about Valentine's Day was when my ex and I were on the verge of breaking up. The rest of the time, I'm happy to let VDay fans have their fun but I have no desire to participate in the craziness.

He could be wearing a thong.

I vaguely remember him pleading guilty to assault. And I think he made some homophobic comments at some point? I can google if you want specifics.

Plus it's a really long bob - at least shoulder length, by that pic - so it's essentially just shorter long hair.

Side note: As a member of the media (alright, the Canadian media), I'd like to point out that we don't mention anyone's race unless it's relevant — a hate crime, for example.

I know Josh Homme has said/done questionable things in the past, so this is in no way an endorsement of his actions or beliefs, but.... daaaaamn, that man in FINE.

That's what gets me too - the infighting. And the part where they say JK Rowling doesn't understand Snape, A FIGMENT OF HER OWN IMAGINATION.

Oh, the "inflicting" referred to the concept of Snapewives, not your research project (which I find fascinating and will definitely read).

Plus, they could also just not be dating.

RIGHT?? It so blew my mind that now I'm eternally compelled to inflict it on others.

So if they take separate cabs, they're hiding their relationship, and if they take the same one, they're flaunting it? Shouldn't there be a third option?

Yeah. Somebody actually wrote their thesis about it. http://www.academia.edu/4217772/An_Int…

And yet, still not as weird as the whole Snapewives thing. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?ter…

I stopped posting my relationship status after my last breakup, for exactly this reason. My ex and I had been together for a long time and though we had a totally amicable split, the overwhelming attention from friends and acquaintances when we switched statuses was really unpleasant. I mean, it's airing your dirty…

Ah, you must not be from Toronto then. There have been rumours of domestic abuse for years. The Fords also have a couple young kids.

I would wear this every day.

My ex got the same "advice" all six years we were dating. Sometimes we gave each other joke gifts on the actual day — he once got me a two-litre of Diet Pepsi, which I drank that night - but we always waited for some unrelated time to do something really special.

Yeah, what if you just don't particularly enjoy chocolate? Not, like, hate it, but never crave it and won't really eat it unless someone puts you on the spot (ie, "Here, I got this especially for you!"). I have chocolate bars in the freezer that people gave me more than a year ago.

That's because they're the ones serving, whereas liquor stores just sell you the booze you then serve yourself.

Hey, great sleuthing! That also explains why I've never seen it - I try to spend as little time as possible at Pearson.
