So Valentine's Day is just for the women??? In my office , it was the lads who were on the receiving end of flowers and teddybears and sweeties etc. You need to step into 21st century, Mark. Maybe you'll get lucky!

Millie

some say ... "you have to give to receive"... when will he ever learn?

Look at that .. the chicks are already trying to get out of the blow job !!

It's nice to hear though that gay guys celebrate valentines day too and send gifts to their lovers office.

and on the whole giving to receiving thing ... I think thats what the Steak and BJ day is about .. it's saying .. ok we gave .. now let us receive what we want. (as if we want flowers chocolates or teddy bears sent to our office .. we'd have to quit from embarrassment.

Millie: I'd rather give a teddybear or choccies, or one year I gave a 'bouquet' of candles, with the thinking that they smell like flowers and last a hell of a lot longer. She loved it.

Kristy: *I* give at least as much as I receive, if not more. Im on the same page as you on that one :)

Giles: good call, mate.

I was reading earlier this week that in Japan, Valentine's day is more for men as well. Women buy giri-choco (which translates to OBLIGATION CHOCOLATES) among other things. A month later on March 14th, the opposite is unofficially true, they call it "white day" and that's when the men show their appreciation for the gifts they received last month by buying a gift for the women in their life. in the article, a candy company tried to get "marshmallow day" to catch on instead of white day, but it's still mostly flowers and stuff. I like that idea because flowers won't be artificially priced into the stratosphere in the middle of March.

Call it the perfect compliment to Valentine’s Day! Valentine’s Day is typically celebrated with flowers, chocolates and all that mushy lovey dovey talk of I Love You and Be My Valentine! That’s great for women! As men, we should feel compelled to have a similar day dedicated to us. That’s Steak and BJ Day. For those of you that don’t know, BJ stands for blowjob and we’re not talking about the shooter (Bailey’s, Amaretto and whipped cream). There’s definitely cream involved but not the one you buy from the local grocery store.

We’re men. We have simple needs. We can call it Steak Day but let’s just be upfront with our women… Steak and BJ Day! You know, after I think about it, forget the steak! So ladies, as a request to all of you women that were treated to a great holiday a couple weeks ago, please kindly cook us a steak and get down on your knees.

In honour of such a great holiday, I offer the following Not-For-Hallmark greetings….

It’s March 14th
You know what that means
I’ll gobble your knob
And juggle your beans
Now eat your steak
Like a good little chum
And when you’re all finished
I’ll swallow your cum!
