Happy St Valentines day Massacre


Don't you just love valentine's day? Hm I seem to think it is probably one of the worst days of the year, not love wise but just a general absolutely crap day way. A few years ago some nobrigga decided to drive into the back of my car, causing me to spin into on coming traffic, not fun. Last year I just got back from Cape Town and got horribly sun burnt, sunstroke is not fun on valentine's evening. And this year I had car shit again, stuck on the side of the highway for about 20 minutes struggling to get the damn thing started. I need a new car, if you happen to have a spare one lying around, or are willing to buy me one, leave a comment and I'll get back to you.

Car problems aside, let's get onto valentine's day or at least those who have a worse one than mine have been so far. 'Twas the morning of 14 February 1929, when some good fellas were sitting done to breakfast when their friendly local hitman popped in for a visit and left 7 rather messy corpses in his wake, now that has got to be one of the worste valentine's days ever (by the way that re-enactment was based on the St Valentine's Day Massacre, doesn't massacre just roll off the tongue, say it with me massacre, mass-acre hmm now lets have some coffee and carry on). According to This Day in History.com in 1900 "British Gen. Roberts invaded Orange Free State with 20,000 troops", I wonder if they won, I hope they got Sun burn. Checking out snopes.com leaves one feeling pretty good about Valentine's day, seeing that I haven't been air raided, butchered or set on fire or at least not yet, let cross our thumbs.
