1billsfan Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 What happens when you buy it for her, and she turns out to be the ever living suckubus she-B word from hell? Can you ask the guys at the Star Registry to re-write their "book" to name the star "the money grubbing, cheating, slut, life-sucking B word"? Just curious. 238690[/snapback] Look, I know Bledsoe's bad but calling him a life-sucking B word is kinda harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 It's a novelty, nothing more. Has no real standing whatsoever. So if you're into meaningless stupidity like...oh, say "More cowbell!", go for it. But if you actually think you're really getting a star named after someone, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn for sale, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would pay $39.99 for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puhonix Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I did that for a girlfriend back in high school. It was cheesy, but trust me, it was appreciated. 238666[/snapback] High school age, just might work, but try telling your wife that instead of a tennis bracelet, she's getting a star. I alwyas tell her that's what she's getting, but if I actually did it, I'td be in the dog house faster than Bledsoe after his first INT of the season.

I know my wife would take a novelty star naming over a diamond tennis bracelet any day...just because naming a star is "creative" and "shows thought", whereas jewelry just proves you have money.

Your right about the whole money cant buy love, so dont just go out and but jewelery... but when its something that she's wanted, something that fits her taste, and you put thought into getting it, it works. Different than just going into the store and buying the most expensive thing, and that's that. I love being creative, and showing you put thought into it, but the star thing is just as bad. Buy a star, put her name on it. Why not write her a poem or draw her a picture if your going for creativity points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Last Valentines Day, I got the girl I was dating a small pendant on a necklace and tickets to see Les Miz. She enjoyed the tickets more because she wasn't expecting that at all. I had even contacted several of her friends before to see if they wanted to go with us also. She felt that because I had put that much thought into those tickets, that it was a much better present than the jewelery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
