Seven Things To Do On Leap Day
By Scott Tunstall on February 29th, 2020
A famous 30 Rock episode in its 6th season posited that February 29th, Leap Day, is a day to indulge because it doesn’t really count. It’s a fantastic concept and one we fully embrace at Gunaxin. With this in mind, here are some things to do on Leap Day you can’t possibly regret since none of them will actually count.
- Punch a Stranger
Tyler Durden said it best: "How much can you know about yourself, you've never been in a fight?" Hit the streets or the mall or the supermarket, find a punchable target, and smash him in the face. You'll feel a thousand-percent better.
- Gorge on Junk Food
Watching your weight, cholesterol, fat and sugar intake? Sure you are, everything is bad for you in case you hadn't heard. Well, fu*k that nonsense. Go get yourself a greasy hamburger, wash it down with a Big Gulp, and finish it off with a pint of Ben and Jerry's.You only live once and it ain't forever.
- Quit Your Awful Job
Feeling like your soul is being ripped to pieces every time you step foot in your place of employment? Want to do something worthwhile before you keel over from a massive coronary? Then get off your ass and quit your shitty job. It's Leap Day, so you can always slink back tomorrow and continue wasting away.
- Ask Out a Hot Chick
Been crushing on that cute blonde who works at Starbucks, or the sexy redhead at work? Well, sack up, down a breath mint, and toss some game her way. If she rejects your advances, who cares? It doesn't count anyway. Then again, she might be into you. You'll never know unless you ask.
- Start a Riot
Bank dicking you around? Sick and tired of hitting that pothole you asked to be fixed months ago? Lines at the DMV making your blood boil? No problem. Round up a few pals and get your riot on. Break some shit. Light a couple of fires. Hey, it's good enough for the Middle East... sort of.
- Get Stoopid Drunk
Not that you need another excuse to get piss drunk, but just in case, Leap Day, baby! Trust us, doing a bar crawl on Lead Day is awesome. Consider it the cherry on top after a fun-filled day of fighting, eating and rioting.
- Commit a Crime
We're not endorsing you to engage in illegal activity, or maybe we are. Nevertheless, you're a big boy capable of making sound decisions, so the choice is entirely up to you whether or not to steal a car, rob a pawn shop or tear the tag off your mattress. Remember, it's Leap Day. No harm, no foul.
