Anti-Valentine Fever At An All-Time High!

I noticed that on to-day, Valentines Day, the post with the most traffic on my blog was this one pointing to the Be My Anti-Valentine site, which ended up displaying this message:

This site has been inundated with links and visitors in the last few hours. While it's lovely to have you stop by, basically too many synchronous requests to the card-sending functionality has caused the server to b0rk.

Imagine that this site is a house I'm renting and hundreds of thousands of people all pile around for a visit. Now, there isn't a problem at all until you all want to use the bathroom at the same time. The door simply isn't wide enough for you to all squeeze through at once, and I can't get you all to form an orderly queue, so unfortunately the owner of the property (my webhosts) have insisted that the bathroom facilities have to be suspended for the moment. It's a ropey metaphor, I know, but I hope it helps to explain the problem. I'm working on a fix, but don't hold your breath. Sorry!

So next year be sure to send your Anti-Valentine E-Cards early!

The Hot Fish Shop In Winona, Minnesota

The Hot Fish Shop In Winona, Minnesota

A fixture in Winona until its closing in 1999, this is the only restaurant in the world (probably) to have a big portrait of Pope John Paul II in the lobby, right as you come in. Just one of a number of Winona E-cards you can send.

UPDATE: Even though the Hot Fish Shop itself is gone, you can now get their famous tartar sauce from Mose's Fish Shop Tartar Sauce.

Insensitivity Cards

YPL's Insensitivity Cards

We all know how difficult it can be to find a greeting card with genuine candor. If you've faced this dilemma (and who hasn't?) YPL's Insensitivity Cards are the perfect solution. Our wide selection allows you to mock the unhappy circumstances, embarrassing failures, and painful experiences of a friend or relative, and to share that derision with almost anyone on planet Earth through the wonders of email. This is a free YPL service, and YPL will not donate even one single red cent to any candy-ass, bleeding-heart liberal charities including but not limited to: preservation of habitats and/or wildlife, AIDS and/or cancer patients, starving peasants, Appalachian hillbillies, and missing rugrats.

The Most Beautiful Christmas E-Card I've Ever Seen

The Presurfer:

This is probably the most beautiful Christmas e-card I have ever seen, made by English artist Jacquie Lawson.

The First Chain Letter

The First Chain Letter*

This chain of good cheer was started by a shepherd in Bethlehem and is going around the world for the 2003rd year. If you break this chain you will lose every friend you have. Before December 25th copy this message -- "Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year**" -- and send it to everyone you know. An old maid who completed this chain suddenly received a proposal of marriage from a stout gentleman in a red suit who came down her chimney on Christmas Eve. A department store Santa Claus who broke this chain was reported by a small boy and lost his job the same day. Warning! Do not break this chain! You will have: "A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!"

Memorial Day

You can send someone an e-card to help commemorate the day. Many many years ago when my brother Tim and I were the only Yankee students at Eakin Elementary School in Nashville, Tennessee, they didn't celebrate Memorial Day, but instead only celebrated Confederate Memorial Day. We both thought it was really weird but, being greatly outnumbered, we didn't say anything. Until now.

Send them a Spam postcard. Especially if they're vegetarian. ;-)
