So you woke up this morning feeling fine, but as the day has progressed, you’ve felt like something was missing. That usual spark of life is somehow absent from your daily routine. You drank your coffee, ate a bagel, shit on Debra’s desk, sure, but still – your life is a hollow shell of what it could be.

Wonder no more, my lost friend. It’s because you’re not celebrating Top Gun Day to the fullest.

That’s right. I too was once like you until I went over to The Official Site for Top Gun Day and realized that, despite the fact that the film was released on May 16th, for some arbitrary reason, today’s the day to celebrate.

So, should you continue rolling along your pointless life path as usual? Negative, Ghost Rider. Call in sick from work (this especially works if you can say it to your boss in person) and skip on home to throw on your flight suit and pop in the DVD. Succumb to your need for speed. Play a homo-erotic volleyball game while continually checking your watch.

There’s still time to turn your sad little life around, and Top Gun Day is just the thing to do it.

  • I admit, I screwed up when I picked the 13th, but there is always a silver lining. Why you ask? Well, two years from now, when we're celebrating Top Gun's 25th anniversary, we can party our asses off since the 5/13 will be on a Friday! Call the ball.
  • To this day I can't figure out why this badly written, poorly acted movie is held in such high regard.
  • Is that shit on Debra's desk thing a reference to Like a Boss?
  • Promote Synergy!!!
  • damn, is that song on Guitar Hero and/or Rock Band? Imagine rockin out to this after an amazingly hot and sweaty game of volleyball
  • Austin Film Society just recently had Tom Skerrit do a Q&A at a special showing of "Top Gun".
    Nice pretty new copy on the REAL IMAX screen! Oh. Wow.
