Lol Googe was a poet, most famous line was:
"I did but see her passing by, and yet I love her till I die."

I think we need a new holiday. One where GUYS are the focus and women buy us stuff instead. And if they buy us an expensive enough gift, then we might just let them get lucky.

What do you mean holiday? It should be like that EVERY day.

I actually thought of a comedy routine once where I talk about a discussion I have with a girl about how Valentine's day is very strange because for one day you suddenly get gifts for each other. Then in the routine she responds with "You're right it should be like that everyday", hilarity ensues (hopefully, might try it out in an upcoming talent show along with some other things I've been thinking about).

The odd thing is that Google has responded differently in different places. In some, they say it is deliberately "Googe", and in others they say the stem is the "L".

I think Osiris is right, at first I thought it was the stem that was the 'l' but Googe being a love poet as Osiris states, then that is more likely: Note the Google comment on this:

Quote: "I just know that those with true romance and poetry in their soul will see the subtlety immediately"


I probably would have noticed it, but this is the first I've heard of a poet called Googe.

Quote: "bah, valentine's day can eff off."


Yeah its too commercial, 'material love' if you will, means nothing, if I got a girlfriend in time (I'm trying after this half term break with someone, I would sent an e-card, but that's lame), I probably wouldn't have bought her anything, but rather give something you can't buy, so heart shaped chocolates and cards and paying many on crap is silly and too cliche, not exactly a way to show your special someone that you love her (or him, just to consider our female audience), anyone can just buy something, or pay for a meal out or similar. It takes something special to make her (or him) feel special.

?

They mean only a select group of people notice that the stem forms an 'l'.

If you are not as much the focus of valentines day as your mrs, then you have a crap girlfriend. Yes, in 90% of relationships (random guess), women are the sole focus of valentines day, but 90% of women are crap.

I agree with fallout, Valentines is a holiday i'm sure was made up by a woman executive annoyed with her boyfriend/husband and wanting to make up a reason to get mad at him each year.

It's a damn minefield for men, luckily I was able to pull of something good this year ^_^ so right now I'm in my lass' good books
