Run Up the Flagpole and See if Anyone Salutes it Day, National Science Fiction Day and Happy Mew Year Day for Cats

If you have the day off, you will have ample time to celebrate one of the three celebrations of the day: Run Up the Flagpole and See if Anyone Salutes it Day, National Science Fiction Day and Happy Mew Year Day for Cats.

Run Up the Flagpole and See if Anyone Salutes it Day

"Run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes" is an expression. It means to float an idea to see what people think, or if they notice. The term is commonly used in advertising and print media.

Run it Up the Flagpole to See if Anyone Salutes Day is set aside to allow people to do just that. Be creative today. Use this day to try and test new ideas and concepts. Don't limit the ideas to business applications. In your personal life, try out a new dress or clothing style, perhaps a different haircut. Or, maybe buy a new houseflag and run it up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes...or even notices. Holiday Insights


National Science Fiction Day

Having been the only girl in my family, except my mom, and being the only girl on my street for the majority of my childhood, I tend to be a bit of a tomboy. I like football. I am a Trekkie. Sad, but true. I know when James T. Kirk's birthday is, and I know all the rules to the game Fizbin. Anyway, to celebrate today, I would recommend a classic sci-fi film... and according to this website even Frankenstein will do. (Although, I would consider that horror.) I personally would recommend the movie Trekkies,
especially if you like the mockumentary genre. This isn't exactly a mockmentary, but if you have ever enjoyed sci-fi a little too much, or knew someone that did, you will find this movie quite funny.

And, if you have a cat, you MUST celebrate Happy Mew Years Day for Cats!
