Valentine's Day, so lucrative for businesses, has a naughty history
Many historians agree that Valentine’s Day can be traced back to ancient Rome when, in the middle of February, the toga crowd celebrated Lupercalia. This involved men getting naked, sacrificing goats and then using strips from the skins to chase and whip nearby women, thereby improving the women’s fertility.
Those Romans. They put the Rome in romance.

I always buy my wife and daughter something.. beyond that, we prefer to keep things pretty low-key and simple.
what does everyone else do?

Home alone on Valentine's Day? Here's why you may be eating potato wedges
It seems that single folks preferred comfort food, with orders like BLTs, cheeseburgers and hash browns topping the list. Couples, on the other hand, were looking for something a little more romantic.

The most ordered dish for couples? Saag paneer.

Got my girlfriend some flowers and chocolate, and we spent the night in last night. Watched "Lion".
We're going to the KWings pink ice game tonight with my buddy and his fiancee. Pretty excited.

My wife wants chocolate cake, but not from Publix. Looks like I'm shopping today.

I am going over to B10 party store to pick up a bottle. I thought I saw they Barterhouse 20 years on sale the other day. Any other suggestions are welcome. I got some stuff to make a homemade pizza, I'll watch the Spartans and I'll put a 20% chance on getting a booty call later.

I'm going to pretend to be the Tigers' Opening Day pitcher and give my wife the high hard one.

I'm off to a party at my daughter's daycare. I will likely come back with strep throat, hand foot mouth and RSV.

I sent woman flowers. Going to eat at a highly regarded sushi joint later. Then I'll get a bj.
Bam.

So it's been you sending me those all these years. I've probably saved atleast $100 because of your kindness.
