Show Description

Valentines day is coming, I never get no Valentines No commercials tonight! Shep gets invitation from Patty Remaley to a Valentines party along with Jack Morton, Schwartz, Flick, Bruner, Stanley Roper, Roger Beanblossom, and Billy Kiper, who was bald by the time he was 18. 25 ladies keep writing me trying to convert me to their religion. Shep takes his whole year's savings and buys a box of candy. A 2:00 on Saturday he arrives at Patty's house, knocks on the door. Mrs Remaley answers and say Patty is visiting an Aunt in Chicago. As he leaves he hears the snickering of Schwartz, Flick, and Bruner!

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
