Love Is In The Air

I believe it was the 17th century Japanese poet Basho who once said:

"Love is like oxygen/ you get too much you get too high/ not enough and you're gonna die/ love gets you high"*

So, in that spirit, we here at Dorothy Mantooth wish you the happiest and most successful of Valentine's Days, whether that means finding your one true soul mate, getting a quickie with Sidney Crosby after tonight's Pens-Blackhawks game or avoiding the authorities after setting fire to the house of the person who ripped your heart out.

And, as our Valentine to you, please accept this quiz to find out what your sexy Brazilian name is (and, of course, feel free to share it with us in the comments section):

Your Sexy Brazilian Name is:

Marcello Mendes

What's Your Sexy Brazilian Name?

* Some historians claim that it was not Basho, but 70's glam-rockers "Sweet" who penned those famous words, but I think we can all agree that both employed thoughtful lyrics and tightly compressed high-pitched backing vocal harmonies, can't we?
-Marcello

Dude, KDKA Has Your Back

As the local TV stations continue to suckle every last drop of milk from Mother Nature's wintry teat, KDKA has found the angle that allows them to tie the bad weather to Valentine's Day:

"One can't help but wonder, with these adverse weather conditions, will it make it all the more difficult for Valentine's Day deliveries. Preparing for the wicked weather conditions is only half the battle."
-KDKA.com

Great. Not only do they want us to believe that we're going to die at the hands of "the worst snowstorm of the season", but now they're harshing our mellow with the news that the over-priced flowers and mylar balloons we've ordered may not make it to our loved ones in time for Valentine's Day.

On the otherrrr hannnnd...

If you forgot Valentine's Day, you can just print the story and show it to your signifigant other, while grumbling incoherently about the "stupid weather".

Thanks, KD!
