Happy 9/11 America!!

Cheeeeeeeers Chuckleheads and a Happy 9/11 to you all!!

Today marks the 12th Anniversary of the attacks by Al-Qaeda upon the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and an additional, yet thwarted terrorist mission, that in all, left over 3,000 innocent people dead.

In order for you to better enjoy and make a social splash while observing this tragic date, I have a few tips for you.

First of all…For those of you who follow traditional anniversary etiquette, keep in mind that the 12th Anniversary, is the Silk Anniversary.

So if you plan to surprise someone with a Happy 9/11 Anniversary present, a silk robe for your hot patriotic man would be great, and for that star-spangled lady in your life, silk pajamas make an excellent gift idea.

If you are going to feign reflection, remorse, and a bit of outrage on this day, you may as well feign away while ensconced in the comfort of cool, comfortable, and finely woven Chinese silk, especially during this unusual September heat wave!!

Secondly…in order to begin your day of remembrance off to a good, healthy, my country right or wrong start, you need to put something up on Facebook to pronounce to the world and to your “friends”, that you have not forgotten.

A picture of the Twin Towers along with a quote that says, “Never Forget” is always nice, but if you want to be an amber waves of grain show stopper…Simply post “Proud to be An American” by Lee Greenwood or “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue” by Toby Keith.

Once you have done your rise-and-shine, pre-requisite posting on Facebook, and have spent four hours at work, it’s time to exhale some of that emotional distress that has been building inside of you.  So, here’s a thought…

Getting together for lunch with colleagues with you whom work, would be great way to celebrate as well, and rid yourself, for a brief moment anyway, of that post-9/11 angst.

You could meet up at a good and wholesome American eatery such as Appleby’s, Pizza Hut, or P.F. Chang’s and reminisce about where you were and what you were doing when the attacks went down.

Misery loves company, and it loves it even more while eating Crab Rangoon, and grazing upon an All-You-Can-Eat salad bar.  And make certain to tip your waiter or waitress well today, because he or she is probably as reflective and sullen as you, but being the customer service professional that he or she is?  Is not permitted to “let it out.”

Now when you get home today and want to make a special, Happy 9/11 dinner for your introspective family, I have a suggestion.

In honor of all of the airline passengers who died on 9/11, serve your family an airline meal…

Of course, a great meal needs to finish with a great dessert (especially if you have kids), so why not a special 9/11 cake..?

And to mark the end of your special anniversary day, you can listen to and dance along to Sean Hannity blessing our troops, and putting you and all of America on guard saying that this will happen again as long as Barack Obama is President.

A perfect ending to a perfect day of celebration.

I hope I have helped you out, and I hope you enjoy your Happy 9/11 Day as much as the marketers, the pundits, and the politicians do every year.

Cheers!!
