Valentine's Day
Hoarding cash, Craigslist hustling, first kisses and gender non-specific promiscuity.
It's that time again, I cruise around the entire interweb and find the most noteworthy stories, advice or anecdotes about love (and relationships). No jokes about Swine Flu today and I will not talk about that plane that flew a little too low over Manhattan yesterday with a fighter jet in-tow. I will talk about…
Awful divorces. Cracked has compiled a compendium of their ten stickiest divorces of all time. That guy who gave his wife a kidney and tries to get cash value after the fact even made the list.
Cash Rules Everything Around Me, too. That's why … Read More
After a Valentine's Day wedding, it was back to work for Salma Hayek.
Salma Hayek's Elisa the Puerto Rican nurse is a great add to this season's 30 Rock. Really the only positive change that she show has had. She (Elisa) and GE strongman Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) make a great pair. She brings the spicy, Latina, big-breasted vibe and he's the prototypical big-business, bigwig with rich, conservative hair. Together, like a McFlurry, they are two perfect complementary flavors. Last night's episode notwithstanding (no spoilers here, sonny jim) they make a heck of a pair. Alec Baldwin and Salma Hayek make such a good pair that she choose him over … Read More

Star Trek fans compete to marry Spock-style.
The most romantic place in the Milky Way for nerds this past Valentine's Day wasn't a local Dungeons and Dragons chapter, a renaissance festival reunion, or even dear old Mom's basement. No, benevolent earthlings, it was a place even more thrilling and exotic than all those magical locations put together. It was Detroit.
Over the weekend, the Detroit Science Center became the final frontier for nine of the America's nerdiest and most smitten couples. While there, the Trekkers/lovers proclaimed their intergalactic love, became formally engaged, and put their names in the hat to win an extravagant Star Trek -themed … Read More

Does the sight of roses make you wish you were a cutter? (Those thorns have to be good for something.) Do you wish cupid would aim his arrow directly at his brain?

10 things divorced women can love about Valentine's Day. [First Wives World]
Guys, just follow these V-Day edicts and thank us later.
I'll be damned, another Valentine's Day is all up on us. It has come to my attention that some dudes are perfectly helpless when it comes to V-Day (psst, it's on February 14th). It's OK, man, the holiday is only vaguely non-made-up by Hallmark and is sort of amateur's night for lovers (like April Fool's Day and bush league wiseasses). Despite all of this, it has become pretty important to women. It can save you a headache or two if you just play ball. Without much further ado, the ten commandments of Valentine's Day: Thou shalt:
1: Look your … Read More
