What would Valentine’s Day be without an opportunity to mention the three-letter word that gets everyone so riled up? Yes, you guessed it\u00e2\u20ac\u201cI’m talking about at a little S-E-X. So, let’s chat, shall we? Beyond being just one-heck-of-good-time, medical studies report that an active sex life contributes to a longer and more fulfilling life…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well who needs a longer and more fulfilling life when you can join in the fun of The Third Annual Casa del Garrett Valentine’s Day Poster Contest!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Er…except you can’t. \u00a0 See…the deadline for new entries has already passed. \u00a0 Sorry. \u00a0 But that feeling of being left out of all the fun is actually Part Of The FUN!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s start the fun by reviewing some worthy entries from past contests. \u00a0 These contestants gave it their all…which makes their failure to win the Big Prize its own very special Valentine’s Day win!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s a couple fabulous losers from our First Annual Poster Contest…<\/p>\n

These exceptionally worthy contestants all received our very special Sorry But Your Best Is Not Good Enough<\/em> consolation prize which can be redeemed at last call in any bar on Valentine’s Day for a pat on the back and an understanding look.<\/p>\n

Our winners though, like the Ghost Of Christmas Yet To Come, were truly one with the spirit of the holiday. \u00a0 Here’s our First Annual first place Winner!<\/em><\/p>\n

Our Second Annual Contest resulted in a tie. \u00a0 Here’s one of the lucky winners…<\/p>\n

This year’s crop of entries is clearly going to have to work hard to achieve glory. \u00a0 They are going to have to give it everything they’ve got and then some…only to fail miserably after having come oh-so-close. \u00a0 How many dazzlingly inevitable crashes and burns will we enjoy this year? \u00a0 I swear, this is better then watching democrats trying to pass a health care bill. \u00a0 \u00a0 So tomorrow…let the bleeding begin!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
