finally, a National Day that has an origin!

letting it hang down
those crazy f’ing hippies started National Hang Out Day in 1995 to let you know that you consume too much energy by running that freaking clothes dryer of yours. you hedonists of soft, warm towels: use a clothesline!
yeah yeah, you get it. But wouldn’t you rather celebrate the other connotations of “hang out”?
i think we can all agree that Sylvester Stallone is TOTALLY embracing the spirit of “hanging out” here. 
same with Saddam, albeit a different kind of “hang.”

i too am embracing this National day, by totally hanging out with my family and best friend. Tomorrow’s the Boston Marathon, so I can’t expend my energy doing much more than that. Thank god it’s not, I don’t know, Hang Ten Day.
