Festivus party

Submitted by sarah222 on 9 December, 2006 - 5:02pm.

Hi,
we are two journalism students at Columbia University. We are doing a story on 2006 alternative holidays like Festivus and Chrismukkah.
We are looking for a family/friends celebrating Festivus. Will anyone speak to us? It's very urgent, thank you

FESTIVUS ON APRIL 28th

Submitted by The_keenbee on 2 April, 2008 - 2:38pm.

I'm a Festivus purest at heart, but Dec. 23rd is too busy.... and so is January...oh and February (with it's fancy spelling and all)... March? ya, that's out too...

April has everything:
• Stuck inside on a nice day = almost uncontrollable rage
• Figuring out how to cheat the IRS = hours of frustrating basic math
• Hating your winterized body weight = days of eating crappy diet yogurt (it's full of chemicals, yo!)
• Being sick = blaming (mixed with a pinch of paranoia) friends and family for their dirty hands- do they ever wash their hands?

How do you handle your pissed-offedness? Kick your ferret? Berate your Liger?
NO! Bring your craziness to Festivus! The Feats of Strength and Airing of Grievances will alleviate your need to choke someone.

Come and experience the best party in the Jackson County area on Sat., April 26th, 2008 at the Urban Living Center, Kansas City, MO
The party will be catered by the top chefs of Scrape the Plate (www.ScrapePlate.com. I might even make "Don't Make Me Punch You, Punch".

On top of that, we'll be raising money for AIDS research. The connection between a fundraiser and Festivus is an easy one for us. We see Festivus as a time to revoke all the norms of the commercialized holiday (especially in April). That's why we have a crazy party and give the money we make to a noble cause. Everybody wins (except those who suck at the Feats of Strength).

This year we'll have some new TBA Feats of Strength besides: WWThumbWrestling, H20 of PAIN, Hippster Hoola Hoop, Strong Man- ya right!, Chicken Limbo, and Spin the Creepy Talking Bottle. Want to know more about these games? Check out Allen's book.

If you can't come to this year's party, there's always next year.... whenever we feel like hosting it.

Abnormally Strong-thumbed,

The Keen Bee

Penguin Festivus

Festivus In Antarctica by a Penguin not named Pavel
A typical airing of the grievances during Festivus goes something like this:

It’s to cold!
Why does it have be so cold?
Why doesn’t Al Gore come down here and bring some of that Global Warming stuff already?

Why does your breath constantly smell like fish heads?
Why can’t you look more like Scarlet Johansson?
Your no Danny DeVetio!
Why is there no bar at Club Penguin? Come on people how can you have a club with no Mai Tais or Piña Colada for penguin sake!!!!

What don’t my wings work?

Why didn’t I leave and go to the big city and become a famous food critic like Pavel did. Why can’t I have a cool address like this one http://www.pavelthepenguin.com/ and be a big city penguin.

I wish I was Pavel Penguin and could live at http://www.pavelthepenguin.com/

yes
