Valentine's Day is coming up...

. . . so you might consider getting a fake dog-poop message reading: "I love you."

Yes, Etsy just struck again. Thanks the Laughing Squid for the steaming hot tip about Brown Fido's good work. Oh, you're not familiar with it? Check the video!

Looking for a unique Valentine's Day gift?

The Bronx Zoo wants you to consider naming a Madagascar hissing cockroach in honor of your loved one! (Plus, if you name a roach, you get a cocoa-roach. Dee-lish!)

You know, maybe I like anime!

(I'm pretty sure I've never tagged an item with
 "love" and "diarrhea" before!)

Guts Need Hugs!

There's nothing like a romantic cake!

Over at Lily Vanilli, you can order an anatomically correct "heart" cake. Impressive!

And don't worry, that's not real blood!

This amazing dessert is made with red velvet sponge cake with blackcurrant and cherry “blood”.

See, it's all perfectly innocent!

Oh, good grief.

"I love you. Here's a giant, hissing cockroach."

The Madagascar hissing cockroach is huge. And it hisses. How romantic! You could even write a love poem about it:

The way your cockroach hisses

Is by forcing air through the breathing holes in its thorax

This is sort of like the way

That I love you.

Not bad! And if you want to get REALLY lovey-dovey on Valentine's Day, go by the Bronx Zoo's website. You can name a hissing cockroach for the one you love! (The Bronx Zoo motto: "Flowers wilt. Chocolates melt. Roaches are forever.")

Gross Valentine's Day Cards!

Over at QuinkyArt, artist Elliott Quince has some zombie Valentine's Day cards that will make your loved one's heart go pitter-pat. (And that might be the LAST sound it makes!)
