Happy Festivus for the Rest of Us

[Andy9o8 0]

On this special day, I just want to say that I love you guys - but I have grievances!
(Read the article).

Grievance: for gOD's sake, do something about your spelling. Oh, and vote Communist. That is all.

(Edited to add the mandatory above, and some other stuff, to clarify intent. sigh...)

why disappointed? Because some people choose to not celebrate the holiday the way most people do?

No, it was said tongue-in-cheek - a take-off from the article. All in good fun.


(Example from the article):

Quote

Casuso, along with her friends and co-workers from the Gamestop store she manages, will gather round the pole and air their grievances.

'I plan on telling someone, maybe a certain boyfriend, `I hate that you pay more attention to your video games than to me,' '' she says, laughing. 'And to my employees who show up, I plan to say, `You disappoint me every time I ask you to put away the games and you don't listen.' And I'll tell my stepbrother, `I hate sharing the bathroom with you'.''

People can celebrate what they want, how they want, when they want..... Isn't that great?

Better xmas. If you can deal w/ all those FAGS>http://home.att.net/~frankpat/kw97.html Have fun people and a Merry XMas to all

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

I like the idea, but the name bugs me. Sounds like a festival to celebrate pussy running sores.

BTW, there is a store brand of canned goods up here named Festal.

No way do I buy any of it.

Could have to do with the summer of 1971 when I had a series of a dozen humongous boils (actually carbuncles I believe). Doctors never did figure it out, I think it might have come from swimming in a really nasty mucky golf course slough. The kind with 6 inches of water and 3 feet of goose poop.

Anyway, Happy Festering Sores Day to all.
