Happy Festivus!!

 

 

As you all know, today is the holiday known as "Festivus." So as your family gathers around the Festivus pole tonight and as you take part in the "Airing of Grievances " and "Feats of Strength," take a moment to think about how lucky you are to celebrate such a holiday. After all, there might be some people out there who don't even know what the holiday is. Shocking, I know.

For those that don't know about a "Festivus for the rest of us," watch the video below.

Top 5

I once did a top 5 run in Facebook on top 5 Seinfeld episodes ever… here they go:

1) the contest
2) the roomate switch
3) opposite George
4) the deal
5) the mango – scene where Elaine tells Jerry she faked with him

A couple of years ago me and a couple of friends at work bought a Festivus Pole.

We placed it between two cubicles at work and every December 23rd we would have an “Airing of Grievances”. The department managers would sit there and take their medicine from everyone in their department, giving as good as they got. It was all lighthearted and good fun.

After the “Airing of Grievances” the true “Festivus Miracle” would take place. We would get our holiday bonuses and get to go home early!

I don’t work there anymore and the company I am with now I don’t think this would fly. But I did talk to my old buddies there today and the tradition continues! I guess a few guys even aired grievances against me for leaving earlier this year.

For those who want a Festivus Pole this is where we got ours!

Yeah, SD will play him hard

but he’ll get it for sure against Seattle next week.

by Tunaflipper on Dec 24, 2009 11:56 AM EST up reply actions  

saying he will do it for sure is a pretty bold statement there bub

but i am kinda expecting it to happen or be very close to it…CJ better hope the Seattle game is close, otherwise if it a blow out (for either side, but specifically if it’s in the Titans favor), he risks being pulled outta the game to prevent injury…the SD game will be very difficult for him to do it in and still doable, but never doubt this guy, he can bust out against ANYONE, he just needs a big run or 2, which i think he can do…one thing i do know FOR SURE is that i will watch both games, or at least keep a very close eye on them
