POST-VALENDENT'S DAY LINKS

Valentine's/Presidents Day links to keep you Februaryized

By VBS STAFF

We hope you celebrated Valentine’s/Presidents Day weekend with all the germane festivities we enjoy—like planting cherry trees, making assassination attempts in dark theaters, and beheading Christian martyrs. If you didn’t, here’s your chance to brush up on relevant activities for next year so you can do away with the dumb old cards, chocolates, and used car sales.

  • Valentine’s Day was first created by the Church to replace a pagan holiday called Lupercalia: The festival of the wolf-god. It involved animal sacrifice, priests in goat-skins, and yummy salt mealcakes made by the Vestal Virgins.
  • Speaking of Valentine’s, what sort of ladies do you suppose JD Salinger asks out on dates? The sort that start subscribing to the New Yorker when they’re ten.
  • Beef up your Washington trivia before Presidents Day rolls around again. You’ve only got 394 days left!
