Happy Valentine's Day from Billy Madison!

If this video doesn't sum up what is awesome about this 'holiday' when you're younger I don't know what does. Minus the Sandusky moment from the Revolting Blob at the end. But elementary school Valentine's Day is probably the top throw-away day on the academic calendar. Halloween's up there, half day before Christmas is a big one too, but Valentine's Day was IT. Handing out your themed Valentine's to everyone. Saving the suggestive/sappiest one for the girl you had a crush on, watch a Charlie Brown Valentine Day, fill out a Valentine's Day worksheet so it looks like you had a semi productive day, and head home to slip into a diabetic coma that Wilfred Brimley would make Wilfred Brimley tip his cap. So enjoy those days while you can, because it gets lamer in middle school, lamer yet in high school, in college it's just an excuse to get drunk, and when you get older you house a bottle of red before facebook creeping your exes and crying yourself to sleep. Peter Pan your life kids.

PS: I searched my ass off (read, had to click on the second 'O' in a google search) for this but I found it. My go to every Valentine's Day were the old NFL tear-away valentine's. Saved Phil Simms here for the girl I really had a crush on because of the inneundo:

Get it? Score? Put one of these puppies with some Valentine's M&M's taped to the back and sit back like I was Hasselhoff in his prime. Power move.

Double PS: Working at Walgreens was a pretty entertaining night on Valentine's Day as well. We closed at 9pm, so between 8:50 and 9:01 was like watching an extreme sport. Bro's running in, going to the card aisle, candy aisle, and checkout like Sonic the Hedgehog. Felt bad for those very last guy's though. Ended up with a box of Russell Stover nuts and chews and a Bat Mitzvah card because everything else was gone. Mazel tov honey!
