Kelly: Well that’s fine, then, I guess?

Kelly: Because Martha Stewart had to share the rule
Gabe: haha right
Kelly: that all women have known forever
Gabe: wait
Kelly: but have kept under their hats.
Gabe: what?
Gabe: so you ladies knew the rule the whole time!?
Kelly: Wait what?
Kelly: Oh no I mean
Kelly: We knew, well
Kelly: That there WAS a rule
Kelly: That somebody
Kelly: had to
Kelly: well
Kelly: Yes, we’ve all known the whole time.
Kelly: But it’s like the rule that you don’t have to tip the owner of a restaurant, that I learned once from Gilmore Girls.
Kelly: Right?
Gabe: uhhhhhh
Gabe: i imagine you
Gabe: going through most of your life
Gabe: doing things that appall other people
Gabe: and then just going

Gabe: that is literally how i imagine you
Kelly: Well perfect do you want to know how I imagine you?
Gabe: YEAH, I DO ACTUALLY
Kelly: WELL
Kelly: I DO WISH I HAD THOUGHT OF SOMETHING BEFORE I ASKED
Gabe: hahahahaha
Gabe: “I imagine you being perfect”
Gabe: “and never being wrong”
Gabe: “or making any mistakes.”
Kelly: “I imagine you getting all your mistakes out between the ages of 2 and 3 and now everything you do is correct.”
Kelly: “And then something about The Wire and Justified.”
Kelly: “And THEN something about Michigan.”
Kelly: “The end”
Gabe: you got most of it right
Kelly: “Follow my dog on twitter the end.”
Gabe: except i got all my mistakes out between 2 and 2 and a half.
Gabe: FAST LEARNER
Kelly: Ugh, well, CONGRATULATIONS
Gabe: thanks, you’re probably still making mistakes all the time
Kelly: Well one thing I learned from Gilmore Girls is that you never stop making mistakes and that’s fine as long as you learn from them. Even moms make mistakes.
Gabe: did the Gilmore Girls teach you how to get a new job?
Kelly: yes
Gabe: good, because you’re
Gabe: HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

Screw diamonds. I only ever want one thing for Valentine’s Day.
Gilmore Girls is the only teacher you need. It also teaches you a lot of pop culture references so you don’t have to actually watch other things to sound cool. Like this one time, my high school English teacher was really impressed that I got a Godfather reference he made in class, but the only reason I got it was because of that “Whack him with a cannoli” joke on GG.
Hey, fellas – are you dating one of those ladies who thinks Valentine’s day is a really important and meaningful holiday? Then GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN.
This is correct.
I am such a fan of your comments.
Back at you.
I upvoted this, but then I thought, “That’s not really fair. Even silly people deserve love.” It ain’t like you dudes are all so awesome!
Does this rule apply when taking a high class escort out for a meal, because this could result in some real $avings.
$exy $avings? $weet!
That’s the sound of many business models imploding.
I see what you did there.
I like how Gabe says “pay for Valentine’s Day” not Valentine’s Day Dinner, you have to pay for the entire day ladies
“My MetroCard is getting low.” -ladies
It might be cool to say “I learned it on Gilmore Girls,” but I’ll warn you guys that the cops are not impressed when you tell them that you learned it on Breaking Bad.
“It’s 2012, Bridesmaids, and I’m paying.”
The Help:Racism::Bridesmaids:Sexism.
You’re welcome, ladies! And gentlemen!
Yeah, now everybody knows that ladies can poop in the street just like men! #goldenglobesparaphrase
Ugggh I hate Valentine’s Day because why do I need a card company to give me one specially sanctioned day a year to show a girl that she’s a beautiful princess when I can be choosing to do that EVERY day of the year like women deserve. Form an orderly queue, LADIES. Only 6 days to get on board.
I treat women like beautiful princesses all the time, that princess is Rapunzel though
Kelly, re: writing “That’s bologna” instead of “That’s baloney.”
The “Dowa Tokyo Melters” shall now be the name of my new rock band/fantasy baseball team.
…and that’s the blog sausage.
Ladies, you need to definitely listen to Martha Stewart on this one. She has a sparkling track record regarding money matters and the handling of said money.
I’m sad that GG means Gossip Girl now. It will always stand for Gilmore Girls to me!
For me it will always be Gadu-Gadu, the popular Polish instant messaging program.
To me, it stands for “Shows that I will watch obsessively, even when they cease to be good.”
For me it is always the Roman numeral for a googleplex.
For me it means 2/3 of the way there to being the perfect valentine.
This is going to be the first year ever that I’m not single on Valentine’s Day. Couldn’t Martha Stewart have kept her fat mouth shut so I could get a free Valentine’s Day at least once in my life?
Is it because you’re with God now, lil’ sebastian?
In a recent phone conversation with my sister, aka “A Friendly Chat With KajusX & Chainsaws And Wee-Waa PrincessPants,” she told me she HATES the conceit of Valentine’s Day because she knows it’s an absolute bullshit holiday, yet she’ll get upset if her husband doesn’t do the Valentine’s Day thing. She said it while completely recognizing her behavior as psychotic, and just went, “Yup. That’s how this works. Where’s my card?”
My Life is an Andrew Dice Clay routine
Did I inadvertently reference ADC? I’m not familiar with his stand-up outside of the Little Miss Muffet thing.
I was speaking of Andrew Dice Clay routines in the abstract sense
We should all be so lucky.
BANTER!
“You pay no you pay no you pay no you pay no you pay no you pay infiniti.” -Ellen Degeneres’ house on February 14 probably.
Oh man if I’m paying for the day then we’re DEFINITELY just getting take-out and watching Twin Peaks. Actually, if I’m paying maybe I’ll just cook? Is that what this is? A way to get (cheap) ladies back into the kitchens?
I’m more of a February 13th, Galentine’s Day, kinda broad.
You know, whoever is paying, if you ask your buddy to buy your girlfriend flowers for Valentine’s Day and get him to sign the card, don’t then reimburse your buddy in front of said girlfriend and say “thanks for doing the card too”. And don’t then take that same girlfriend out for dinner the day AFTER Valentine’s Day and admit out loud that you’re doing it because you didn’t want to bother getting reservations on the actual day because it’s too much trouble. I mean, theoretically.
So don’t do this, or do do this?
I guess my point is that maybe Martha’s on to something and some of us ladies should just take care of our own Valentine’s Day festivities.
