Mrs C & I both wholeheartedly embrace the concept of anti-Valentine's day, and in the past have exchanged cards on that basis (yes, I do see the irony.....but also the humour.....).

Anyway - having previously ordered things like this: http://uk.moo.com/en/readymade/pack/271 I'm now looking for an alternative, lest she outdo me on the great day, but I'm having trouble finding anything worth having. Anyone else got any suggestions/links?

Roses are red, violets are blue,
You get on my tits, so I'm dumping you!

Since you've been away, I've started to miss ya
To help with the loss I've been banging your sister.

There must be a market for this stuff.

I once picked up a card on spec. It caught my attention as unusual and I bought it without needing to send such a card.

There was a rat; standing up on his back legs like a human; wearing a Doctors white coat; stethoscope around his neck and an evil grin on his face.

Behind his back he was hiding an old-fashioned glass hypodermic syringe. The syringe is so big that the needle is visible over his shoulder and the plunger sticks out by his hip.

The caption was simple ‘Please get worse’

Eventually I found someone deserving. Everyone in the office signed it and we sent it to a colleague. Unfortunately he recovered and returned to work. The office had been a much happier place whilst he was in hospital.

I like the sentiment behind these, but I think the hi-res version is a bit OTT. Printer ink, after all, doesn't grow on trees you know.

Email it, you fool.

From a gmail account.

At the library.

Anything else would be obscenely extravagant.

Actually, I think I'll just use these as a template to make my own. The red colouring would be from my own blood (obviously) and the blue bits from that stuff they put in chemical toilets (Sanilav?).

Then, I'll simply nail the finished product to the recipient's front door, at about 0300 on the morning of Valentine's Day, wearing my lucky balaclava.

This idea has "winner" written all over it.

Edit: just realised the cards on the OP's link are the same as the ones on the link below; nevermind though... any excuse to dig up a Flashman thread wink

Sorry to be swottish (especially as I like it), but if you haven't Haymarket's OK on that then get rid.

Or find a way to charge them if they decide to use it.
