I posted this in another thread, but in my eyes, you can't go wrong with a shit bitch bear.
@deetroitwhat: Literally laughed out loud. Laughing out loud, actually. Love this.
@jwdesiree: You can totally buy one online, too.
I think any man would be proud to own one lol!
i say karaoke. i had one of my first dates(neither of us knew was a date then) with my now FI at a dive bar singing off tune renditions of "love shack" and "when i touch myself" (after a few shots of patron i might ad). its definately somethng we wont forget!
Aa few years ago Mr Scottie and I went abseiling for our non-traditional valentines!
I posted this in an earlier thread as well...
Hmm, what's better than monster trucks? How about... yeah, I'm not creative enough for this. But I'll come back and tell you if I think of something lol. For the record, I'm pretty sure my FI and I are buying ourselves a new TV for valentines day, and then sitting in front of it all night in pajamas eating popcorn and playing video games.
We are doing a brewery tour, and maybe a Brew Cruise, and then going to a hockey game. Grabbing Chipolte for dinner....very romantic lol
My FI and I don't like the over the top Valentines either, so we tend to come up with alternative plans. One year we went and saw the Body Worlds exhibition (story of the heart), another we went to a hockey game. Last year we ordered lots of sushi and had it with bubbly at home. All things that feels very US and not fake.
So you could perhaps go and see some game, or go rock climbing!
@jwdesiree: You win at the game of life! This is so freaking awesome and hilarious!!!!!
Bowling, Thursday is usually a league night so I would assume it will remain the same, darkened alley it is all year. We really have fun taking over the local seedy bar in the bowling alley after bowling a few games.
@deetroitwhat: I went to the site the card was from from and bought three of their cards today. I couldn't resist. One of them says "I love you more then Kim Kardashian loves attention" - its for my sister :)
Not telling which one I got for the FI but here's the link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/FunGirlsCards?ref=seller_info
@Serey: @jwdesiree: Just tagging you guys so you get the link if you want it :)
We were going to have a romantic dinner at taco bill, BUT then KFC so kindly posted us a flyer offering us a glorious discount if we would choose to dine with them. Nothing says romance like greasy chicken.
I know you said you didn't do movies, but we are going to do a non-Vday movie, the new Die Hard opens that day. Gonna be fun!
I love ALL of these ideas! And I play hockey, so that wouldn't be out of the ordinary, ha! :)
@Brideonabudgetlauren: Lol, aww, shucks. Thanks!!
@sehrler: "we are going to do a non-Vday movie, the new Die Hard opens that day."
Wrong, Die Hard is totally a V-Day movie. What could be more romantic than an aging Bruce Willis blowing things up in Russia? 
We are also going to see Die Hard. It's gonna be awesome.
@deetroitwhat: Hahahah! That's too funny!
@heidi_p1215: I need this card. I got one for FI that says "the lights. the tv. your pants. Things that I want off tonight" or something like that
@suburbian: Thank you for that link! I'm stocking up on cards as we speak... :)
We're huge movie people...but never sappy movies. We have a Christmas tradition of seeing a horror movie every year on Christmas day. Sometimes we have to rent LOL.
But I'm thinking of taking FI to the dollar theatre to watch some crappy movie of his choosing :)
Oh! Another thing I think is fun...but I'm kind of materialistic...is when FI was a kid his mom would give him 5 dollars to go into the dollar store to buy presents for his fam. So sometimes we do this, sometimes not even 5 dollars, but we just run around finding the weirdest crap for the other one. Wrap it. Open it...eyes roll around in head from confusion and disgust. Fun times :)
@zackmarriesamber: I just folded a piece of construction paper and made it myself! Easier than ordering, and waiting for a delivery! :)
I'm not doing this (it's anti-VDay, because it's a single's event, and I'm--well, NOT single), but I thought it was hysterical :
There's a bar around here doing an event called "Love Sux" and if you bring a "shredded, torn, or mutilated photo of your ex" you get free entry. There's also bottomless Coors Light. 'Cuz it's classy.
Hahahahahaha.

Hi Bees!
So a few years ago, before ever spending a Valentine's Day together, now-FI and I got to talking about the holiday. Like many men, FI expressed a general dislike for the holiday (mainly due to the pressure that some women put on it, not so much the romance/celebration of love aspect... thank goodness)! I told him I had never been a huge fan of the holiday and not to feel any pressure. Then I got an idea...
It just so happened that a monster truck rally was coming to town that upcoming Valentine's Day. Armed with this new knowledge, I proposed that we do a sort of anti-romantic (i.e. no pressure) Valentine's Day. Monster truck rally instead of a movie. Wearing our monster truckin' finest instead of dressing to the nines. Drinking the cheapest beer/shots instead of nice wine or martinis. Eating wings instead of... well, anything that requires silverware. A swing through the Burger King drive-through for our romantic dinner. And the rest of the evening at a dive bar (with a quite appalling name, I might add).
It was the best date I've ever been on. We could not stop laughing/smiling/having fun (which in turn led to kissing/"I love you"s/romance [I guess I'm crafty like that]).
Anywho, now we don't know how to "top" it... so what are some silly ideas for our next non-traditional Valentine's? And please, this is just for fun. I mean no offense to those who enjoy doing really romantic, sweet, and/or "traditional" things.
