Valentines ecard: Historians dont actually know who St Valentine was or how he became martyred. Chaucer and his mates in the 14th Century began to associate the day with romantic love about a thousand years after he died. And I'm not celebrating it because it's ridiculous. Ecard image showing: Historians dont actually know who St Valentine was or how he became martyred. Chaucer and his mates in the 14th Century began to associate the day with romantic love about a thousand years after he died. And I'm not celebrating it because it's ridiculous.

About This Card

Obviously I’m trying to raise some awareness here. Maybe launch a movement. Perhaps Valentines Day can topple over one day, like the statue of a dictator. The only thing stopping me from pointing out that this is a completely made-up holiday is the fact that they’re ALL completely made up holidays! Also, nobody has ever sent me a Valentines Day thing. But whatevs. Not bitter; it’s the institution.

from the newsletter

I spent an upsetting amount of money buying a Happy Meal and it did not make me happy. It’s Germany though, so the meal came with a beer. I asked if I could have whiskey instead and they looked at me as if I was mad.
