Top Gun Day 2011: Do You Feel the Need For Speed? (TWEETS)

Tom Cruise's Big Day

It's Top Gun Day!

Strap on your aviators, grab a volleyball, and break out you best lines to celebrate 25 years of this American classic. While the official anniversary of the film's release date isn't until Monday the 16th according to IMDB, today's the perfect Friday to celebrate.

But what does it take to participate? Top Gun Day's official site has compiled a list of 9 ways you can show your spirit:

  1. On May 13th update your social network profile picture / avatar to be anything Top Gun related. Use an image from our photo gallery or get creative and make your own. If you do make your own we’d love it if you could share it with us. If it’s good we’ll post it to our user gallery so other people can use it.
  2. Use as many Top Gun lines throughout the day as possible. For example, say your friend Jim asks you what you’re doing on Friday night, you should respond: “Hey Jim, you stink”.
  3. Wear aviator sunglasses. Cheap or expensive. Inside or out. Just don’t “Scratch one”!
  4. Grab your Top Gun Day T-Shirt and “CALL THE BALL!”
  5. Go to a bar…wearing a flight suit or aviator wings and order a glass of Hemlock.
  6. Call your friends and tell them, “I’m going to Top Gun!” and then hangup.
  7. Buy some rubber dog s**t.
  8. Don’t wear deodorant and only respond to the name, Slider.
  9. Join us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter!
