Happy National High Five Day

April 20th, 2006 | by: WC Bob |

If you’ve been wondering why there hasn’t been much World Cup news today, we have the answer for you. Today is National High Five Day in the United States. Journalists from around the country and throughout the world are using their hands to give each other high fives instead of typing the latest news. We applaud any holiday, especially one that celebrates something as time honored and fun as the high five. As far as goal scoring celebrations go, the high five is a bit too understated for our tastes, however. We prefer something flashy like the LuaLua backflip, the dance of the Elephants or even the Robbie Fowler snorting cocaine routine. What is your most memorable goal celebration?
