Bang Your Heads! It's the National Day of Slayer!

Slayer -- Hell Awaits
Ultimate Revenge For Disco
April 3, 1985

It's June 6, 2006 (6/6/6)
The National Day of Slayer!

And unlike that wimpy National Day of Prayer, this day only comes once a century. So be sure to celebrate this day right. Wherever you are, turn up your speakers extra loud, open the windows and rock out to everybody's favorite speed-death-thrash-metal band. If your ears aren't bleeding, you're not doing it right.

Oh, OK, sure this was probably a PR stunt cooked up by the  band or their label but what better way to counteract those superficial plastic-haired televangelists and their phony baloney National Day of Prayer than with the music of Satan? Remember, national holidays in America aren't just about celebrating; they're about forcing it upon non-participants.

June 6 also happens to be Slayer's bassist, Tom Araya's birthday. Other famous people born on June 6, and thus apparently sharing the mark of the beast this year are musician Steve Vai, actor/comedian Harvey Fierstein, Swedish tennis player Björn Borg, and American industrialist J. Paul Getty. June 6 also happens to commemorate the World War II D-Day landings in Europe and is the National Holiday of Sweden, Queensland Day, South Korean Memorial Day, Teacher's Day (in the U.S.), and National Yo-Yo Day (also U.S.).  Which, of course, makes all of those things the work of Satan. I think National Yo-Yo Day pretty much proves that.

Steve VaiSlayer???

Ah, what the heck, I'll give it a listen.

But you should be arrested for mentioning them on the same page as Steve Vai.






tng | 2006-06-06 01:42 |  Not my favorite either

But what're ya gonna do? It's 6-6-6 and it rhymes with Prayer. Puzzled






Shut Up Wesley | 2006-06-06 03:00 |  No snark intended.

Just the opining of a longtime Vai worshiper. Saw him in Philly in '89 when he joined David Coverdale and Whitesnake. sigh...

The girls at my favorite coffee shop were all wearing horns in honor of 666 day.  What a great way to start the day!

 

All hail Satan! 






tng | 2006-06-06 19:34 |  Ooops... Just saw this. That's so cool!

You'll have to tell me which coffee shop you frequent so if I'm ever in the Asheville area I'll know where to get good coffee.
