Are you in the Festivus spirit yet??

"A Festivus, For the Rest of Us!"

The Festivus Pole

Not a tree, a pole. No decorations. Tinsel is very distracting from the true meaning of the holiday. The pole is tall, silver, hollow, long, skinny, and heavy.


The Airing of Grievances

This is the part of the holiday where you tell your family and friends all the ways they have disappointed you during the year.


The Feats of Strength

This is the time during the celebration where the head of the family tests his strength against one lucky person. Festivus is not over until the head of the family is pinned. You are allowed to decline only if you have something to do instead.

5. Remember Neil Simon's "A Soldier's Story"?

And the Jewish guy who refused to eat the Army food because of the holiday of "Malaguena"? At which the Southern sergeant piled food high on his plate and told him "Happy Malaguena!"

[no name no slogan]

6. Yup, just picked up our pole last night

...and my "Airing of Grievances" list is growing exponentially by the day.

Unfortunately, I drew the short straw for "Feats of Strength" last year, and I'm going up against my construction worker brother-in-law. I'm fscked.

IT'S A FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US!

7. It will be a very special Airing of Grievances this year...

But my workplace is infringing on my right to celebrate new holidays so I may have to strike.

10. The Airing of Grievances

This is my mother's special offering on Christmas Eve.

11. I have my Pole !

It's still attached to our 16 foot catamaran though, is that okay? It won't fit in the house anyhow, so maybe we'll just gather at the pier this year:toast:

12. It's a Festivus MIRACLE!!! n/t

[Dzimbowicz]

13. Damn straight!!!

And, I'm ready to air some grievances.

Isn't the pole supposed to be aluminium because of its weight to strength ratio?

:party:

14. Airing of Grievances

1. Mods delete my posts for absolutely NO reason. They just don't like me and they're picking on me. :-(

2. Admins refused my entirely reasonable request to initiate a forum devoted to recovering beastialites.
(Way cool...I just made up a word.:-))

3. Ditto my request for a Designated Smoking Area.

4. How come we always seem to run out of ice around 6 p.m.? What's up with THAT? Doesn't anybody around here plan AHEAD? Sheesh.
