Today, I tried convincing my Valentine-hating boyfriend to send me a card, by explaining how important it is to me. He finally agreed and sent me a card. I opened it up, and it wished me 'harmony and well-being on Lupercalia'. What is Lupercalia? It's an ancient Roman festival where men run down the street naked, whipping people with goat skins to encourage fertility. FML

That's why you shouldn't force your boyfriend to do nice things for you. It won't happen (and with good reason).

Holy crap, Lupercalia sounds like a much more entertaining holiday than V-Day. Another reason why the Roman empire is the greatest empire.

Wahhhh my boyfriend didn't want to celebrate VDay [insert gasp here] and instead he had a sense of humor about it! *rolls eyes* I hate girls like that.

perhaps it's a subliminal message. but you got a card anyways so I don't see a problem. and wonder how a naked dude hitting you with a dead goat would make you want to have babies. Those Romans sure were kinky freaks back then.

I find it sad that nobody knows what Valentine's Day is really about. I doubt anyone who reads this even knows who St. Valentine was. Anyone want a free history lesson? Take a knee. Back in the day the Roman army wouldn't let their soldiers get married because they didn't want them to have attachments to their life. So St. Valentine would marry the couples in secret. Eventually the army found out and executed him on February 14th. Before his execution, the couples that were married by him visited him in jail and gave him cards expressing their gratitude, hence the tradition of giving people Valentines.

thus further proving how stupid a holiday it really is. I hate valentines gifts yet every boyfriend I have had and all of my friends still insist on giving me pink things and candy! I think my friends do it because they think it's funny that I hate pink and don't eat candy. the holiday itself SUCKS!

#198 - I was about to post that until I read your post. It's funny that people are quick to call others idiots when they hardly know the whole truth themselves.

I wish I had a boyfriend with such an awesome sense of humor. Be grateful, yo. But YDI. Pushing people for something you want isn't the best thing to do. Karma's a bitch.
