Valentine's Day, Crappy Cards And Uglier People.

Even as far back as 3rd grade at Mary C Howse Elementary, I remember giving the Valentine's Day cards to girls in my class based on what they looked like. And it was tough because those crappy card packs of 30 back in the 70's didn't give you much to choose from.

So for example the girls I liked got a card with a cute puppy, kitten or rabbit.

The girls I didn't like got the goofier cards like the giraffe with crossed eyes peaking his head through a second story window, "I'll put my neck out for you" or the hog eating a corn cob and rolling in mud, "It's corny but will you be my Valentine?"

I wasn't trying to be mean to the uglier people. They probably didn't even pick up on what I was doing. I guess in some way I was hoping the cute girls would pick up on it. Did everyone else do this or am I the only shallow one?

All I know, when it comes to Valentine's Day and my readers, "I Choo Choo Choose You" ......and you and you. But not you.

Joe Pesci. February 9 Birthday. Funny Like A Clown.

So today, February 9 is Joe Pesci's *birthday. He was born in 1943.

And here's a clip from one of the best Joe Pesci movies - GoodFellas. I can't believe that this movie was made in 1990. Times flies.

This is the famous, "funny like a clown" scene - as I like to call it.



* And on a side note, Joe Pesci sang at Vincents Blue and Jazz Bar here in West Chester before he was famous.
