Happy Valentine’s Day from Yogi Berra

Having trouble courting the lady? Well search no further. Forget about flowers. Don’t even consider jewelry. Step away from the lingerie store. Ironclad Authentics has you covered with its Classic Combos (For Valentine’s Day!). That’s right, fellas. Impress that special lady in your life with autographed pictures of, among others, Don Mattingly, Yogi Berra and Cal Ripken. All for 150 to 250 bucks. You can thank us later. We know she’ll thank you.
OK, we’re not sure where this ranks among the worst Valentine’s Day ideas, but it has to be close. Let’s end the day by seeing if you can top it with real or fictional stories.

Paying to name a star after someone.
I mean, that’s just plain awful.
Of course, and then there are all the gifts that are of the “if you don’t want it, I know someone would does…” variety (i.e. bowling ball, pool cue, SI Swimsuit Issue, jock strap, etc.)
Now don’t jump all over me, you wonderful few female RandBall readers, I understand that some women like bowling and pool, but I still doubt that they would find either a bowling ball or a pool cue romantic unless there was a damn good story behind it.
“Honey, for Valentine’s Day, I’m taking you to a party with the Sacramento Kings Cheerleaders“
“if you don’t want it, I know someone would does…”
It’s been a long day.
Does taking your wife to the Hector American Legion’s “Sweethearts Steak Fry” on Saturday night count? Because that is what I’m doing.
Baked potato? Included.
You Hector. You brought her.
Stu = Swanky
How about donating money to a charity? I hear the Human Fund is a great charity.
Smart move putting the steak fry on Saturday so as not to compete with the Catholic Church’s Friday Night Lenten Fish Fry.
I got flowers today, which is rare, but I suspect it’s because the mister is on one of a series of business trips, leaving offspring in my sole care. It was also followed by, “I don’t have to buy a card now, right?” Swoon.

The Human Fund is a great charity. It paid for many lunches for some friends of mine in H.S.
Well—This site is just so fun and flirty and edgy to read. I love baseball so if my hubbie came home and said ‘for vacation, we are visiting ALL the ballparks”, I’d be in heaven. I mean Real Baseball Heaven. Some girls like sports and sport related items, but giving them on Valentine’s Day IS a little gutsy. A less gutsy move but more strategic one would be to go to http://www.mydovechocolate.com to enter Dove’s “Expressions of Love” contest for a chance to win a beautiful 5.58 carat “Baby’s Breath Diamond Necklace” worth over 21K dollars. I work for the company so I have an inside track. Imagine how touched she will be that you were thoughtful enough to spend time and effort on writing about how he feels for you. It will be something she will always cherish. And you both will have a memorable Valentine’s Day together. Play ball!
fun and flirty and edgy
All three?
I sense another RandBall t-shirt slogan - this one in pink cursive.
Don’t taser me bro, don’t taser me!
Sorry that should be don’t tase me bro
jama - that’s okay, you’ve just shown yourself to be a huge “square”. Ha!
Do not taser me, brother, do not taser me!
Hello, of course I came to visit your site and thanks for letting me know about it.
I just read this post and wanted to say it is full of number one resources. Some I am familiar with. For those who don’t know these other sites they are in for a treat as there is a lot to learn there.
