Dear Smallest Man Ever,

I write this letter to you to ask you a serious question. You see - this year, I have no Valentine. No one to shower my love and kind wishes on, no one to smother under Mrs. Fields cookies bigger than the dead sea.

And then? Then I saw a picture of you.


When I laid my eyes on you - my heart fluttered. They say you weigh 20 pounds and are about 33 inches tall - not even a full 3 feet! And yet - you are a body builder. Let me just say - I can totally tell. Those guns could be the largest I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of guns in my time. You are truly "manly", and I could use a bit of that in my life right now.

Let me cut to the chase - the point of my spontaneous letter. I really just wanted to know - will you be mine? I was thinking - you are small enough that I could fold you up and put you in my back pocket, which would come in handy - I am positive my brother in law would try to kick you on sight (given his silly notion that kicking midgets makes gold coins fly wildly about - and well - let's be honest - with you, the temptation might be similar), so a quick escape might be necessary, and the back pocket? Well, how cool would that be? And also, I was thinking it would be handy to just whip you out in restaurants or at the movie when I need a date, and then put you away safely for next time.

I mean, just because you are unbelievably small doesn't mean you have a grinch sized heart - I just know it. And as long as we could find something to chat about, I am positive it would be a win-win situation for both of us. Please - - consider my offer. Although, I should advise, it expires at midnight eastern tonight.

With much admiration -

Susieeq

Mwahahahahaha! Just kidding, small-Indian-body-builder-man-with-bleach-blonde-hair.

I saw him in a story on the net today, and thought he was actually quite amazing.

Really though - Valentines Day? I hate thee. Even when I am "attached". WHAT IS WITH the world these days? Why the expectation that something romantic MUST happen? I hate how lame the corporate, Hallmark-esque marketing capitalists (probably all smug married's anyway) try to make you feel when you are single.

So I declare: You can't make me feel bad, oh Valentine Nazi's! I spent the day on the beach today anyway (sssshhhh - don't tell my boss - I was supposed to be working, but the Florida sunshine and Ft. Lauderdale beach was just too appealing). See:

Right then - please note: taken with the crappy cell phone camera, NOT the beloved Canon.

Eff off, Valentines Day. You ain't got nothin' on the beach.

I'm a V-day disliker as well. As a kid, I hated being forced to give everyone in grade school classes a cheesy "Be Mine" Valentine's Day card, (especilly to those kids that I wouldn't be caught dead wanting to "Be Mine"!! and it's never improved from there.... This day has lost it's meaning, and should be renamed to "Insincere Love Day".

You know I have a novel idea... get rid of valentines day all together, so that us single folk can go on peacefully with our lives and just have a day for married people or people in relationships where they can show their love for each other (although shouldn't you do that daily?) and we shall call it an anniversary! i'm brilliant!
