Heh... I keep hearing this radio commercial for "build a bear". Essentially, it's "Guys are really stupid and can't possibly know what a woman wants. Call us and we'll design a bear for you and write the card so you don't say something stupid. Then we'll send it to the office so she can brag about how attentive you are to her coworkers".
I've yet to figure out if it's more insulting to men or women but man, it annoys me.
Yeah, I'm hearing that commercial too. I bet they sell a lot of bears.
Not knowing what a woman wants has less to do with stupidity and more to do with gambling. Rolling bones. Reading tea leaves or sheep's entrails. :-)
It's a total crap-shoot.
They were very helpful to me. :-)
I don't go in for Valentines Day much. I mean, I don't need an excuse to eat chocolate, I just eat it when the mood strikes me. But I keep telling my jedis that they might marry someone that it means a lot to and they'll just have to deal with it.
...C took her son to Build a Bear so he could build a bear for his ahem, 12th birthday. When she told me I dang near died. I wanted to say to her "Are you out of your mind?"
Build-A-Bear is a company that had stores in malls. Kids, or I guess anyone, could go in there, decide what color fur, eyes, etc they want for their bear, dog, monkey tiger, etc., put it together, then dress it however they want. Clare got a black lab there a few years ago; named it Sirius. ;o)
