  • wazzamattawichu, on 02/15/2008, -0/+105Oh crap it's Valentines day! I forgot to get a girlfriend.
    ...Again.
  • SEMaven, on 02/15/2008, -1/+64My favorite: "Not having a girlfriend is compounded by the fact that even your Second Life character can’t get any action."
  • ubernoggin, on 02/15/2008, -2/+52Pretty funny. Not that I can relate. Of course not.
  • BambinosKrib, on 02/15/2008, -5/+38Pft... Valentine's day shouldn't be celebrated as a matter of principle anyway... it's nothing more than a commercial exercise. Why not surprise your better half on a random day of the year... rather than doing it on the 14th of feb. It's the same thing with mother's and father's day. Everyday should be mother's and father's day.
  • inactive, on 02/15/2008, -3/+35"You can eavesdrop on your roommate making sweet Valentine’s Day love to his girlfriend later in the night" --- that seals the deal, the author is a total nerd, he's not just faking!
  • DeadlyAlpaca, on 02/15/2008, -0/+25- You can watch porn in peace without being interrupted by your roommate and his girlfriend
    - You can eavesdrop on your roommate making sweet Valentine’s Day love to his girlfriend later in the night

    God I hope you aren't combining these.
  • RoyalPineapple, on 02/15/2008, -0/+24four inches? you wish!
  • Y0tsuya, on 02/15/2008, -1/+24For a nerd, Valentines day gets his hopes up for some loving, only to let him down yet again.
  • archer104, on 02/15/2008, -0/+20good point
  • anderzole, on 02/15/2008, -0/+20me either, it's a hypothetical list I imagine
  • RoyalPineapple, on 02/15/2008, -1/+20bone me
  • sabortijuana, on 02/15/2008, -1/+20sounds good. Bring your four inches of fury and let's go.
  • balloonenstein, on 02/15/2008, -0/+18>>You look forward to a Valentine’s day themed logo on the Google homepage

    So true, I remember last night around 1:00am I was procrastinating studying and thought to myself "ooh I bet Google has a new logo today!"
  • SpykerSpeed, on 02/15/2008, -0/+17That's genuinely funny. Props.
  • truthmatters, on 02/15/2008, -0/+17Dugg for my sons who are gamers and nerds I guess....not that there's anything wrong with that....;)
  • archer104, on 02/15/2008, -0/+17I hate Valentine's day because that is also the day that my parents got divorced. Actually I don't care, I just tell girls that so I won't have to buy anything.
  • tringtring, on 02/15/2008, -0/+15Nerds love Valentine's day because their less-geeky and more amorous pals will be doing other things during that day leaving nerds do the only thing they love - tinker around with code and more
  • sabortijuana, on 02/15/2008, -5/+20I hate valentine's day! my bf and I broke up yesterday and now I'm alone and sad! :(
    But I have digg to play on, so it's OK, I guess.

    BUT I HAVE WINE!!! YAY
  • carbog, on 02/15/2008, -1/+15http://duggmirror.com/comedy/10_Reasons_Nerds_Love ...
  • drakethegreat, on 02/15/2008, -1/+15Yep I was turned down and the next person who tells me its all about confidence I'm going to seriously punch in the face.
  • Pixelante, on 02/15/2008, -0/+11NOOOOOOOO!
    (Loses hand)
  • theskyisblue, on 02/15/2008, -1/+12call me
  • Majhem, on 02/15/2008, -1/+12Some women WILL expect gifts on the 14th, and those 'random' days (even if you openly deride them), and if she doesn't get them she will hold it against you for the rest of your natural life. "Unconditional love is ok I guess, but Tom bought Jennifer diamonds..."
  • dvsbastard, on 02/15/2008, -2/+12Clearly, you do not have a woman... While all that is good and well and most guys will agree, you try to explain that to your other half...

    "Baby, I did not get you anything for Valentines day because I believe it is..." *SMACK*

    Remember.. they are not rational beings! :P
  • xxgigavirusxx, on 02/15/2008, -1/+11My roommate doesn't even have a girlfriend
    On top of the fact he rarely goes home

    I haven't had a porno marathon in awhile!

  • melonade, on 02/15/2008, -0/+10There's always next year.

    ...next... YEAR.


    ...YEAR
  • zmjone2992, on 02/15/2008, -0/+8nice con
  • melonade, on 02/15/2008, -0/+7Will you be my dad
  • melonade, on 02/15/2008, -0/+7Valentine's Day is the stupidest of Days.
  • zmjone2992, on 02/15/2008, -2/+9it would be pretty cool if the server hadn't died
  • hadak, on 02/15/2008, -0/+7...I thought I was the only one that did that...
  • notahappycamper, on 02/15/2008, -0/+7sounds like your roommate is also a nerd...at least you two have each other. i'm all alone.

    BTW - My internet is not going any faster!
  • inactive, on 02/15/2008, -1/+8Burrrrn... Or was it?
  • khedoros, on 07/31/2009, -0/+6Bollocks. That gives me more time to work on the scripting for the furry suit that my avatar wears!
  • sloppjyoe890, on 02/15/2008, -0/+6We don't take kindly to your type round here.
  • sabortijuana, on 02/15/2008, -0/+6WANG OR FAKE!

    btw, http://www.xkcd.com/322/ It's true.
  • bob12321, on 02/15/2008, -0/+6He is your dad.
  • xxgigavirusxx, on 02/15/2008, -0/+6I tell them I need to save my money to pay for child support

    Works everytime
  • Pfkninenines, on 02/15/2008, -0/+51. Everyone in a relationship is out on the town resulting in faster internet connections 15 mb down/9 mb up! Tyvm non-nerdy people for leaving your streaming cameras for a night to go see the people in real life!
  • lordshank, on 02/15/2008, -0/+5❤It's also a great day to drink beer.❤
  • sleepwalkers, on 02/15/2008, -0/+5Oh c'mon. Not *all* women are like that. My girlfriend and I don't really bother to celebrate Valentine's because of the same reason you mentioned. If we give each other anything, it's something that didn't cost anything.
  • inactive, on 02/25/2009, -1/+5you are dumb indeed
  • JARSInc, on 02/15/2008, -0/+4I thought that was Columbus Day.
  • inactive, on 02/15/2008, -0/+4Yo, share the wine.. forget the guy. You're too young to be attached anyway! :)
  • bagboyrebel, on 02/15/2008, -1/+5oh, now I'm depressed.
  • jrmontano, on 02/15/2008, -0/+4I tried that and it didn't work. Instead I got kicked in the balls.. I request a new shirt!
  • MikeDirntRulez, on 02/15/2008, -0/+3....Probably
  • appletoapple, on 02/15/2008, -0/+3I agree. My fiance and I usually cook ourselves a nice dinner at home for V-Day and then have terrific sex. It's about BEING together, not getting gifts.
  • melonade, on 02/15/2008, -0/+3I was given a beta fish for Valentine's day by my ex-girlfriend. Interesting, and kind of cool, I guess. But now I have to take care of something.
  • rjam710, on 02/15/2008, -0/+3Check and mate. GG Pineapple, gg.
