It's A Festivus - For The Rest Of Us! || From '14
'Tis the Season for old traditions & I'm resurrecting this from '14 - a nostalgic stroll down memory lane. Some here will remember commenters who've since moved on. And there's been at least one addition - Mimi'73 has morphed into MiMiArt ... Enjoy.
Yep! December 23. That most sacrilegious and sarcastic of all Holidays (anti-holiday ) has rolled around once again!
This relative newcomer to the Holiday Season was sprung upon an unsuspecting public during a 1997 episode of Seinfeld. Since then, it has gained popularity among the jaded, those fed up with commercialization, seeking to ritualize family dysfunction...or simply looking for yet another reason to party.
Or eat cupcakes.
So c'mon, y'all party animals! Set up your Bare Aluminum Festvus Pole (I find tinsel distracting)! Burn the hell out of the traditional Ketchup-Glazed Meatloaf! Gather friends & family near to you - for The Airing Of The Grievances Engage one another in the Feats of Strength And remember the Festivus Rule - IT AIN'T OVER 'TIL THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE IS PINNED TO THE GROUND!
What sort of Festvus Miracles might we expect THIS year? :

No problem. It can go away...For A Price!
It's well to remember the roots our sacrilegious traditions.
Keep The FEST In Festivus!!
I figured you'd be baking Da Bear claws.

And I miss Wallops1964 on the blogs
Well, at least I still communicate with her, off CS, periodically. She’s one of the nicest and genuine lady I ever have the fortune to get to know from the blogs.

Absolutely. Could not agree more
Say 'Hi ' to her for me.
The vid posted above explains how, kp!
Experiment with filling 'em with meat/cheese/salsa & sprinkling with salt rather than sugar...goes better with beer at Game Day parties.
Start a bakery & market "ORIGINAL Da Bear Claws"... That'll differentiate yours from inevitable imitations
Do ads/commercials featuring a takeoff on Da Bears Superfans...
(Play down the heart attack routine )
You'll get RICH
Introduce a smaller bite size version... "ORIGINAL Cubbie Claws" for baseball tailgating.
KP - The Queen Of Claws!

... Enjoy the memories of Festivi Long, Long Ago
Mic said show me a 30 foot wall and I will show you a 31 foot ladder..
