Hey Bob and Tom, this is Donny Baker. Man you know Valentine's Day can be a lot of pressure. Hell half the guys here at work get all nervous about it or overspend every year anyways. Guys, it's a silly game man, but we have to play it. It all goes back to 8th grade home ec when every chick got that stupid guy girl pamphlet man with rules about how you gotta hold your God of Valentine's duty. Whatever man. It's mostly secret stuff like the Da Vinci code. But man there's no need to start pawning stuff just because your dates demanding roses or a Whitman sampler. I mean I never got the demand for candy anyways. Just don't make no sense to me. I mean one day your chick is asking if her zubaz make her butt look big, then the next day all of a sudden she's craving Little Debbies. First thing you gotta do man is plan ahead. I betcha 50 bucks you still got fun sized candy bars in the junk drawer left over from Halloween. Just open em up man then cut em into quarters. Then go to the hardware stor and buy a handyman assortment of like screws, nuts and bolts. You don't need that stuff, you just need the container, dump them out and then put the candy between the dividers. Tell her the candy was like from overseas, special order and they had to ship it in something waterproof and then put some red ribbon around the box to hide the barcode. Red ribbon makes anything look like A Valentine's gift, man. I swear to God it does. I remember this one year, man, my mom was in tears when one of her boyfriends brought her two pounds of ground chuck freezer wrapped in red ribbon. He tried to be all smooth about it and stuff, and he was like, well, we'll save the beef for later. Cause tonight was meant for pork. My mom's knees buckled and stuff. I couldn't believe she bought it. And she would have never left him if he didn't already have a wife and four kids of his own. I told her he was a liar when he kept saying he had to coach Little League two states away. Anyways, man, red ribbon solves any puzzle. Plus, it's cheap, too, man. Hell, they sell it by the yard. I remember this one time, I took a couple rolls of police tape from my uncle's squad car. I draped it all around my neighbor's yard. Then I started this big rumor that he was arrested for having sex with animals. He threatened to send me. I mean, not to my face, but he was like, there's no truth to it, Donny. And I was like, well, then how come you sleep in the same bed with a sea cow? Mitchell? I swear to God, I said it right to his face, man. To this day, when people drive by his house, they still slow down and point. Drives them crazy, man. So maybe you're tired of trying to find the right candy. I mean, maybe flowers are the way to go. And there's nothing wrong with paying for nice ones, man. They work. But if you get in a pinch and you only have, like, an hour or two before the date, well, then just pick up a newspaper, turn toward the back where they print the obituaries. I've told you guys before, the best place for flowers is funeral homes. Most times, you'll still find decent ones out by the dumpster. I look at it this way, man. These dead people aren't passing away. They're just passing on the savings to you. That's why they call it the circle of life. Anyways, I mean, I ain't into Disney movies or nothing, but me and Scotty used to work in a theater and stuff. I remember catching the end of, like, Bambi or Samba's. And that whole circle of life theory really hit home to me, man. I mean, it made me think a little bit. We used to clean up theaters after movies for, like, four bucks an hour. I used to prank Scotty all the time. Scotty showed up late, so he was always stuck with floor duty. So I'd Buy a box of rubbers and fill them up halfway with popcorn butter. I swear to God I would, man. I'd flip them on the floor and be like, pick up those. Colonel Scotty, I swear to God, man. He couldn't get over people knocking boots to Bambi. That's another thing about Valentine's Day, man. They call it VD for a reason. And it's true, man. I mean, sluts are a lot like those little chocolates, man. They all look good, but sometimes you take a bite and you get that green gooey one. Then it's off to the free clinic for penicillin time. So be careful of the ones you pick. And Happy Valentine's, man. I gotta get it.
