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.

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.
