Bobref Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Friends, are you among the many who are turned off by the rank commercialization of Christmas? Don’t really understand what Hanukah is all about? Can’t really get behind Kwanza? Well, don’t despair. You can still join in the holiday spirit … by celebrating Festivus, for the rest of us! Yes, it’s the Eve of Festivus. Each year at this time we recall the story of Festivus. How Festivus has been around for a long time, but burst into public consciousness during the 1997 episode of Seinfeld “The Strike.” There, Frank Costanza (George’s father) explained the origin of Festivus, as depicted in the video clip at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbfMmCf5-ds I’m so excited to pull the Festivus Pole out of the crawl space and shine it up. Mine is aircraft grade aluminum, with a very high strength to weight ratio. And you don’t have to bother with any decorations on the Festivus pole, as tinsel is distracting. Then, tomorrow, we celebrate with the traditional Festivus dinner, commencing with the Airing of Grievances, where we all berate those who have disappointed us in the past year. I’ve got a lot of problems with you people! so feel free to pile on @DT, @Muda69, @DanteEstonia, @gonzoron, or whomever. Then we move on to my favorite part: the Feats of Strength! Festivus is not ended until someone bests the master of the house in a Feat of Strength! So, I declare Festivus will continue until someone manages to pin @Coach Nowlin. Let’s get ready to rumble! Finally, let me close with a heartfelt plea that I hope reaches you at this special time of year when we must consider those less fortunate. I do hope you will find it in your hearts this year to make a donation to the Human Fund in honor of Festivus. After all, it’s money … for people. Alternatively, you could become a GID booster! May you all have the Festivus you deserve. That will truly be a Festivus Miracle! Happy Festivus! Edited December 22, 2019 by Bobref 3

DanteEstonia Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 @Muda69 has disappointed me this year by only posting articles from Reason and the Mises Institute. 1
