You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I've never gotten a romantic Valentine's anything, but I am in possession of some sweet platonic ones. I think the day used to irritate me, but now I barely notice it.

I sent you a Valentine!

I admit it. I'm depressed. I want a pretty boy to send me pretty flowers and tell me I'm pretty. I believe the hype.

I think you can turn that feature off. But I'm not in the mood to navigate Excell menus to find out for sure.

Ah. Found it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I sent you a Valentine!

Hey ... did you see the pretty and the sweet? Yours is definitely included. Yay, Hello Kitty!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This year? Chocolate? Score!

No not this year, couple years ago.

I kind of like Salon's approach to this. They're running a series of remembrances of "lost loves" and regrets. That's a about perfectly pitched between romance and disappointment.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I got chocolates from David! That was nice.

Oh well. I'll just have to be sure to not forget to send the Shark Week cards....

And don't forget Yak Shaving Day.

I want a pretty boy to send me pretty flowers and tell me I'm pretty. I believe the hype.

Well, I'm not pretty, but I've seen pictures and you are pretty and funny and a lot of fun to have around here. I didn't send any flowers though, my wife probably wouldn't approve.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

the hostess sort of pulled me aside and said, "you know, hon, he really should've done a better job of planning." Umm, hello? Entire universe not about stupid couple-behavior guilt?

Did You talk to the manager? It is not the hostesses job to scold you. Ever. or make assumptions.
