DadCentric Valentine's Day Flower Giveaway Contest - WE ANNOUNCE THE WINNERS!

We're sure that you're all aware that Valentine's Day is coming up; February 19th 16th 13th 14th is the day that no self-respecting husband/male significant other forgets. So to help some of you guys who blew it last year by buying your wife that Xbox 360 that you'd she'd always wanted, the good people at ProFlowers.com have kindly donated 5 free flower bundle-thingies - oh, I'm told that they're called "bouquets" - to us, to give to 5 lucky winners. And what do you have to do to win?

Simple. In the comments, tell your best Valentine's Day Story. And by "best", of course we mean "worst/most embarrassing/the one that led to a three-night couch camping trip". Because we here at DadCentric strive to overcome the stereotype of the father as an inept, insensitive douchebag, and what better way to do that then to publish anecdotes about dads fucking up Valentine's Day. Thanks to modern technology, we can allow you, the general public, to vote; we'll close the comments and vote at 12:00 PST this Friday. You can atone for past mistakes, plus ProFlowers.com delivers, so you won't even have to drive to the florist, which is good because remember that time you went to pick up flowers for the missus and oh, there's a topless bar right next to the local FTD and ten kamikazes and a free cheeseburger lunch and two lap dances later you forgot to pick up the flowers? Yeah. So does she.

 

AND NOW WE ANNOUNCE THE WINNERS!

 

This was a tough choice; everyone had an interesting story, but we narrowed it down to these 5, whose tales of Valentine's Day woes reached the depths of Greek tragedy:

 

Melissa - the Hello Kitty steering wheel cover is the gift that keeps on giving.

 

FADKOG - a twofer of bad gift decisions.

 

Steve - drinking the gift booze for the missus and passing out in your driveway? Priceless.

 

Dan - did the mourners also enjoy that Whitman's Sampler that came with the flowers?

 

Cdziuba - I have to say that this was my personal favorite. A bag of frozen tortellini. Sorry, but that is awesome.

 

Thanks again to all of you who submitted comments. And let these tales serve as a reminder of the high cost of gift-giving failure. Four days to go until Valentine's Day, people.
