[While all the lovey-dovey couples are running around White Chalice in Valentine's day lunacy, some people aren't so lucky and spend the time in more depressing ways. Drinking at Herb's bar, for example.

Ha! And in the end that's really what matters, isn't it?

[mydutyisnotover.livejournal.com]

For beer at least. Some prefer stronger stuff.

[Frank pulls out a flask of whiskey from his private reserve.]
