"Festivus for the rest of us!"

A case of the giggles is what this season needs alright, not Palin's or Cruz's or O'Reilly's perpetual sense of grievance. From the picture alone I know I'd rather party with Stevens than any of those three. If you can manage a smile for most every one you can in latter December. or even an honestly merry disposition, you've rescued whatever holiday you celebrate for yourself. "No mind is thoroughly well-organized that is deficient in a sense of humor."
ReplyDeleteGryphen, before I even read your line about not being able to look at the picture without getting the giggles, I was laughing out loud and had a huge grin on my face.
ReplyDeleteI love this guy! The U.S. definitely needs more people like him!!
I for one am grateful for his contribution.

ReplyDeleteSarah: Your book talks about a book written by Clement Moore. There seems to be some dispute as to whether he actually wrote, "The Night Before Christmas." Sorry about having to pop your tiny bubble! http://www.timesunion.com/default/article/Night-Before-poem-on-trial-5039529.php
ReplyDeleteLove it! There's nothing like hoisting holier-than-thou fundies on their own petard!
ReplyDeleteI would have approached the Festivus pole in a different way.
ReplyDeleteI would have bought a tree with those wooden crossed boards attached on the bottom as a stand. Then I would have taken pruning shears and loppers and cut off every branch until there was only a trunk remaining. There's your pole.
Perhaps not as striking as the red, white and blue of the cans, but I think the sentiment would be just as striking.
The Festivus pole, by tradition, is made of aluminum.

The picture is hilarious, and it helps that he looks like a terrorist!
ReplyDeleteSo anyone with dark hair that looks of Middle Eastern descent is a "terrorist" looking person? I take it that you are not a progressive Democrat. Stereotype much?
DeleteI went down there Friday to get a picture but, alas, the battery in my little Olympus had died! But there was a steady procession of people coming in to have their picture taken next to the pole. A dad with his daughter who is graduating from Florida State. Another dad with his little toddler. All of them having a great time!
ReplyDeleteHow can one not giggle? Thanks to Seinfeld's writers, I'd never have found this tradition that makes so much sense!
ReplyDelete"Let the Airing of Grievances Begin!"
I wish someone would put a great big one in front of the Capital down here in DC.

That is not the self admitted alcolohic with an arrest record for disobeying a restraining order. The misfit can't talk publically and obviously can't show his face publically on his ridiculous issue. I live in Deerfield Beach and this misfit in the photo AIN'T the misfit Stevens. Are you still giggling?
