How's That Working Out for You?

Happy VanHalentine's Day, everyone!
How do we celebrate VanHalentine's Day?
In three (5) easy steps:
1) Put on your favorite Van Halen album
2) Drink whiskey, vodka, or if you must, beer for the duration of the album. No other drinks are acceptable on VanHalentine's Day. No wine, no gin, no frou-frou drinks and definitely no fucking tequila!
3) Once you are good and tipsy, drunk-dial your friends. Due to the nature of the holiday, I suppose it may be best to limit your calls to single friends, but why discriminate? Hallmark wants to benefit from all manner of people on V-D in the name of "love", why shouldn't you, too? And Van Halen's songs are for everyone, man!
4) Once you have a willing and available party on the other line, be sure to discuss the following:
"Remember that time we went to college / worked / lived / did something else together? That was AWESOME!"
"Remember that time we went to college / worked / lived / did something else together and we were miserable and we drank a lot? That was AWESOME!"
"Remember that other time at college / work / our apartment / when something happened and we drank a lot? That was AWESOME!"
And, of course, be sure to throw in a "Death to Hagar!", even though deep down you secretly feel that 5150 is one of the best VH albums and you blast "Why Can't This be Love?" in your car every time it comes on the radio.
5) Repeat.

I was quite please with myself until my friend James responded to my email:
"That's pretty good. But, don't you do this on days that aren't VanHalenTine's Day, too?"

Touché, James, touché.
