Alec, why aren't you spending time with your girl on Saturday?

As for my v-day plans, it will probably involve me getting drunk and making lewd comments.

Do you have something against people that drink ever day that ends in "y"?

Actually, I may take my mom out for dinner... or just sit on the couch by myself with a pint of ice cream watching romantic comedies. Haha.

What are you doing for Valentine's Day, Jim?

Here's what you NEED. Check out a 1/5th scale Merlin engine.

Especially check out the video that's linked at the bottom.

But for something actually exotic, look at this one.

How about a 24-cylinder H-engine. Think horizontally opposed 12-cylinder, but 2 of em stacked in the same crankcase, with crankshafts geared together.

There's something disturbing about that... What are you doing with your hands?

I'll probably be trying to keep my wife & daughter from fighting.

One hand is holding the ice cream and the other is holding the spoon.

How old is your daughter? Maybe I could take her off your hands for the night?...

I never said I was going to violate her in any way, shape or form. Just thought I would help him out by keeping the wifey and the daughter separated so he could have a peaceful night.

I'll have her home by 11!
