I was recently asked to explain a term I often use, that term being Saturday Night™.  The fact that I have to explain this concept indicates that things are far worse than even I had imagined...That my wretched pessimism was actually an idiotic level of optimism.

Saturday Night™ can vary greatly in detail from person to person.  It can mean shaking your ass on the dance floor at THE GAY BAR, or it can mean hanging out the window of a jeep with a 12 gauge, blasting stop signs and howling like a loon.  It can mean doing the nasty with your SO and a bottle of something high-test.  It can mean drag racing, bare-knuckle boxing, or just taking your spouse out to dinner and a movie.

What it IS, is "the act of getting out of the office, away from the computer and the teevee, and having FUN".  Remember fun?  It's that thing you used to have, before they built a cage around you and slapped you stupid with tax forms.  It's what you used to DO, before you got so fucking serious.

You get precisely ONE (1) trip around this here rollercoaster (unless you're a Buddhist, and fuck those guys) and there is only ONE (1) meaning for that life:  TO FUCKING ENJOY YOURSELF.  Hell, isn't that what Slack™ is?  The art of ENJOYING THE RIDE?

Oscar Wilde had it right.  "Anyone who never gets carried away should be.  Or as the Subgenii say, "Don't just eat that cheeseburger, eat the hell out of it!" 

Do nothing in a small way, because you are not a small person.  In your frame of reference, you are the main character...And you don't want to be remembered as the lead role in Lost in Translation, do you?  Fuck no.  Big Trouble in Little China or GTFO.

So live large.  You don't need to be rich to do this; I am not suggesting you have to race around in a Jag or anything...Just do whatever it is you do LOUDLY and PROUDLY.  Stomp the terra.  Screech spittle and horse laughs in THEIR faces while they stare at you in horror.  Clothing may or may not be optional, your mileage may vary.

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for sitting by while your life dribbles away.  DO something on Saturday Night™, even if it's just dancing in the living room to bad top 40 music.

And remember:  Saturday Night™ isn't a day of the week, it's an idea. 

EVERY NIGHT IS SATUDAY NIGHT™!

AAAAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Saturday Night™ has always reminded me of the quote, "Those who dance are considered insane by those who can't hear the music."

Things I have found improve my mood:

1.  Drag racing in a 2009 Totoya Camry.  4 cylinder.
2.  Grabbing my wife while we're getting dressed to go to a party for which we are already late.  Fuck those guys, because boobs.
3.  Irresponsible firearm use.
4.  Drinking soda with doomed freaks at the pervert bar.
5.  Blasting through alleyways in the legal district at 4 AM in a beat-to-shit Jeep Cherokee.
6.  Driving too fast to bad top 40 pseudo-hip hop songs.
7.  Dancing.  I dance particularly badly, I look like an epileptic bear with strychnine poisoning.  Too fucking bad, I'm shaking that ass.  If you don't like it, GTFO.
8.  Making someone's day weirder.
9.  Taunting Mike the Engineer.
10.  Screaming out rants to golfers on the fairway behind my house.

Well put. Saturday Night(TM) is the stuff that you FUCKING LIVE FOR, other than "responsibility", "obligations", "stuff I have to do", etc. You know, the shit you actually LIKE.

I'm getting increasingly good at Saturday Nights. Last night's Saturday Night consisted of beer, nearly entering some American pop punk band's tour bus by accident and swearing a lot in Hungarian.

I am unsure.  Haven't seen her in a while. 

Twid has her number.

Fuck yeah!

Saturday Night is a cause. Some might say it's the only cause. But Saturday Night has enemies. We're hopelessly outnumbered by whiny little fucks who insist we tone down our language or dress appropriately or refrain from jumping over the barriers and pissing in the face of danger and/or the embarrassing faux pas.

We may be outnumbered but we're not outgunned. All it takes is the balls (or ovarian fortitude) to ignore their pathetic bleating and get on with having a good time WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE!!!

You may find yourself shunned by polite society. This to your benefit. Polite society is what's fucking wrong with the world. Polite society is the sworn enemy of Saturday Night and should be destroyed or ignored - whichever seems like the most fun.

I have never had a Saturday Night in my life, if I'm understanding this right.
Could explain a few things.
