(hum the Mission Impossible theme to yourself)
**UPDATE** Contest Open Until Saturday 2/16/08 @ Midnight
Agents, your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to find the weirdest, craziest, just-can’t-believe-it Valentine stories on the net (or if you really want to admit it, something that has happened to you).
Once you find the story, post the link here in the comments (and remember it has to be Valentine Day related). Here’s one to get you started.
Your reward (and cuz our Chief Duck is really, really, really sweet no matter what you might have heard) is an entry into a special drawing for some pretty nifty prizes.
As always, if you get caught, we’ll pretend we have no idea who the heck you are. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds.
Good luck, Ducklets! (okay, the tape won’t really self destruct, but I always wanted to say that!!!
This one is strange to me. One doesn’t imagine people in NY putting that much trust into a relative stranger. Hope the link works:

The worst Valentine’s Day EVER happened last year. I got up, and naturally, I went to the store to buy my sweetie a gift. While in the store, It was being robbed! So I ran out. In the parking lot, police cuffed me for running out with my items! The store was being robbed, and I was arrested for shoplifting! An hour later, I was sharing an 8×8 cell with a 6 foot mexican name Nicoretta. At around 8 ‘o’ clock that night. (an hour after my date started) I finally got my complimentary phone call. I called my sweetie. As soon as she knew it was me she started yelling, then she cried, then she said that we were through. So I hung up, and went back to nicoletta and cried. Here I was, heartbroken, thirsty, and in a cell with a 6 foot mexican named Nicoletta. The next morning the warden let me out and I just sat on the curb in front of the jail and ate my valentine’s day present that I stole for my sweetie.

No teen sex on Valentine’s Day!!
But I guess sex on any other day is allowed. 😆
Oh, I have another one. This person here is prone to car accidents on Valentine’s Day. Her record so far is quite astonishing!

Sandy Blair posted some funny/strange valentine tradition on a guest blog

Here is a story that I saw on the news in my area:

14 horrible moments in v-day history : wow I can’t believe these all occured on v-day! YIKES!

Tentacle implants!?!?!!?
Wendy, you win! OMG
While driving to the jail with some legal clinic workers for a class assignment, one of my friends told us about someone who called a radio station. (If the visit had been yesterday, that might have qualified as a horrible vday story – spending half the day talking to felons in orange.) The DJs were asking for “best Valentine’s stories” – but the caller, a woman shared how she found out yesterday her husband of many years had been cheating on her. Apparently, this is not that rare:

Some of these stories are plain awful.
Katie, lol! And did you see that THING by him?! Yuuuuuck.
Oh, I have the worse Valentine’s Day story – nothing like having to give a shower to a morbidly obese 300 lbs woman. This is the stuff of nightmares, people!
And having to spend all day around her – feeding her, wiping her, and all those lovely shores. But honestly, even though some of it was horrific (aka shower scene) she was such a sweet patient so it wasn’t that bad.

15″ Let’s Get Bear Naked–Wearing nothing but a perfectly placed felt fig leaf under his Bear belly button and carrying a heart-shaped sign that says, “Let’s get Bear Naked,” this fun Bear gets straight to the point.
This is cute but funny. It’s a stuffed bear for Valentine’s Day.

A weird collection of Valentine’s facts including:
Saudi Arabia has banned red roses ahead of Valentine’s Day, forcing couples in the conservative Muslim nation to think of new ways to show their love.
The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice ordered florists and gift shop owners in the capital Riyadh to remove any items coloured scarlet which is widely seen as symbolising love, newspapers reported.
And this one,
However, incorrigible British bookmakers Ladbrokes believe that caution could still be thrown to the wind on the big day.
They are offering odds of 2-1 that Prince William will go down on bended knee and crown his on-off affair with girlfriend Kate Middleton by proposing.
Though of course this is a Leap Year, so if the future king doesn’t get the job done on February 14, tradition dictates that Middleton can ask him to marry her on February 29.
Valentine’s Dinner sets apartment ablaze:
