  Not EXACTLY a valentine…but it’s about how v-day usually happens in my house. The line always cracks me up, though it shouldn’t.

    Sorry, but I don’t get it. What’s funny about that line??? (and by the way, it’s “erduldet”, not “erdultet”)

      It’s very funny. Florestan is asking “So, what am I getting for Valentine? Dinner out? Chocolates?…?” And Leonore has forgotten all about it.

        Actually “Was hast du meinetwegen erduldet” means “What have you suffered for my sake”. Whatever.

          There’s no arguing with pedantry I suppose.

  La Cieca should mention that those of you who don’t have image editing software may want to try pixlr which is an online image editor that works in your browser window. From pixlr you can save images to your hard drive or to Picasa, Flickr, Facebook and other image-sharing sites.

  I hope this works because this was a pain to create.

  I sent my submisssion to our Doyenne to upload but discovered I had a Flikr account. Let’s see if this works. This one is for Gelb to use as he tries to expand the audience base for the Met and tries to attract the “Redneck” audience:

  totally OT but just saw this on the nytimes website. a review appears of spiderman, and the summary says:

  This show is not only the most expensive musical ever to hit Broadway, but it may also rank among the worst.

  WHOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAA!!!!

  Two cards from SF Guy, “specially designed for those who are between romantic entanglements, still in a mood to send cards, and don’t want to give their best friends the wrong idea.”

    Actually, conceived as the front and inside of a single card, but it’s hard to do fold-outs on a computer screen.

    A special Valentine’s Greeting to “ipomoea,” without whose suggestion to check the Met Archives this card (for better or worse) could not have been made.
