Today is January 20th, and you know what that means. It's soon going to be Super Bowl Sunday Washinton and Lincoln's Birthdays The Olympics Valentines Day!  While it might seem a bit early, smart boyfriends and husbands are already putting their Valentines Day plans into motion.  It's never too early to call for dinner reservations, plan romantic weekend getaways, or even shop for flowers.

Did you know that the color of the roses holds a deeper meaning? Me neither. So here's a handy dandy guide for all you would be Casanova and novettes out there. Seriously, red roses are so cliché . Never buy them. Ever. Also, take some time off work to hand deliver your flowers. You'll garner way more brownie points that way than if you just call up 1800flowers.com to deliver them for you you lazy sack of crap. Also, no Teddy Bears It's uncreative.

For those lovebirds out there on Twitter (See what I did there?), you should definitely be following @creepycupid who has some hilarious love finding tips for you all.

Now what does this have to do with the Leafs? Not a damn thing!  Enjoy your links!
