V-Day Massacre

St. Valentines Day
Massacre

Valentine's Day is the most sadistic holiday. Oh yes, it's cruel, full of dashed hopes and vanquished expectations. It's a day of melted chocolates and wilted roses.

It's no wonder Capone picked that day to put the rat-a-tat snuff on Bugs Moran. He missed Bugs who was late for the date. There was only collateral damage. Cupid's arrow missed. Very symbolic of the day.

Everybody expects something on this day. The ladies expect flowers, the guys expect to get laid. Capone expected to eliminate Bugs. Sometimes things work out and sometimes they don't. That's the tragedy of Valentine's Day.

Is Valentine's Day when you remember your special love or is it the day that you murder your special love or even worse, long for a special love that you could remember or murder? It's a cruel choice. Cruel as Hallmark.

The trouble with Valentine's Day is that it is perceived as a day for Particular love instead of a day dedicated to General love. That's why it's the cruelest day.

Here is my general Valentine for To Whom it May Concern.

I was today in the middle of a valentine´s day-crisis when I ask to the 8th grade boy I´m helping with his exams about his stomach with a general question (he talked about been ill last tuesday) and he thought I was asking him about how he was feeling in valentine´s day...! Then he told me he broke with his girlfriend two weeks ago and wanted to know what I thought it would be the proper gift for her... I suppose to only help him literature, language, history and geography so... I told him laughing something "hey, I guess you know her more than I do... ! and I´m not fourteen!" and he told me "but you are a woman!" oh-oh....... nowadays kids!!! I hope he didn´t buy artificial flowers!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, it seems valentine´s day is popular here now too!! But I can´t avoid feeling stupid saying happy valentine´s day to anyone (you included l-rod !!) so I´ll leave you now alone with doreen . Good night!!!!!!

I think it's very similar to the economic stimulus package they are giving us.
Roses are red
violets are blue
I ate some chocolate
I hope you did too.....

Happy VD

You should be a syndicated columnist.

this is so skilfully deranged, it's brilliant.

Valentine's day? It was invented by managers at an early greetin' card company, probably.

Capone's gangstas were probably assisted by other southside chi-town gangs, including an irish one (egan's rats) reportedly: Moran and the Northsiders were not too down with the speakeasies and brothels of S-side , but it all went way back, to Bannion's murder, and before, and related to Luciano's move to power, really: some say Luciano (and some of his pals like Lansky) actually wanted Capone out of the way. Rather complex, and not as corny as the mafia pizza-parlor, as some would think. THompson gats as percussion section do have a certain power.
