Festivus

[Purple Pimp]

Hello all,

I am going to be throwing a Festivus party within the next week (I've already got the aluminum pole!), but I've run into a bit of a problem: the Feats of Strength.  It will be quite easy to pin me, so I need to come up with some additional ideas.  Being the uninventive person that I am, I'm drawing a blank (short of playing Twister or something, or maybe hulahooping).  Have any other Festivus celebrators got any ideas?  I could go out and buy the Festivus book, which supposedly has some ideas in there, but since Festivus should have a spirit of anti-commercialism, and since I'm broke, this isn't my plan.

Thanks in advance,
Lia

Please pardon my ignorance but what does Festivus celebrate?  I have not heard of its observance before.

Thank you.

It's basically an anti-holiday holiday, invented in response to the consumerism of Christmas and popularized by an episode of Seinfeld about ten years ago.  Since I'm more or less atheist, I thought it would be a good excuse for a get-together with friends.

A piñata is always fun.

P.S.  I do remember that episode.

I think that we should have an "airing of grievances" thread because I GOT A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!

LOL As host, I'll go first, and say "Now, in the words of Frank Costanza, 'I've got a lot of problems with you people!'"

To be honest, I'm very excited about the airing of grievances; kind of refreshing to be given an opportunity to let your negativity out.  Like Santa, I'm makin' a list.

Okay, I know someone I can put on my "grievance list": Kate  Stop being so cheery in your posts!!  ............. .. Okay, Kate now its time for the feats of strength! Lets wrestle!!

*smacks the phantom Laura91 with a trout* "get outta here!!"




Since Christmas is coming up next week I have decided to revive this thread so that those who would rather have a festivus for the rest of us can do so.

I challenge Emelye to battle me in the Feats Of Strength!! LET'S WRESTLE!!!
