Charlie and me

I give you The Smoking Gun's Mugshots of the Week—Valentine's edition.
----
If you are as old as I (and I know that al least one of you is), you may remember Valentine's Day as a simple occasion, one in which small cards and notes were exchanged with your classmates if you were young, or a bigger card if you were older. It was a day of Charlie Brown type anticipation, full of smiles, frowns, blushes, and for some like myself, disappointments. Being putridly shy, I always hoped someone would approach me to be my sweetheart, but it never happened. I am traumatized!

Now this day is not so special; it has gone commercial.

I don't know whether to bitch or weep, so I will shut up.
