'Festivus' Gains Standing Across Country

You are so right on!

Pathetic. Living one's life by a syndicated sitcom.

Seinfeld was funny because every episode touched on some of the more base and tawdry tendencies that we all have, but don't like to admit to ourselves. Seinfeld gave us the opportunity to laugh at them in someone else. That was why it was so successful.

Your post reveals something base and tawdry in you, my friend.

It was one of only 3 TV shows I ever liked. I missed the first season myself when I was working nights. Once I started watching it, I would rush home from work just in time to catch it. My favorite was the subway episode... but all of them - the magic loogie, master of my domain, the virgin (or were they the same episode?), the soup nazi, the airport, waiting at the restaurant, and the "not that there's anything wrong with it" episode - every show was a riot - lol.

I can't quote the shows line by line, though, but Hubby probably can.

I used to write "Druid" on forms that requested religious identification.

I just don't see a need to suck up their annoying behavior, since those people are one of the major reasons I don't like this time of year I develop an admittedly petty need to strike back. Which is one of the reasons I like Festivus, most of this crowd has learned that anybody that mentions Festivus hates them.

I've been told I look like Kermit.

I love Kermit!

I'll buy you this Kermit toy for Christmas.

I went to high school with a boy named Kermit. I'm not kidding.

My low tolerance for losers is "tawdry" indeed.

Scary. Hahahahahaha!

"I've got some problems with you people!"

The self righteous are incapable of understanding satire when it "threatens" what they hold so dear.

It shows their insecurity when they are afraid to poke fun at themselves (or their beliefs).

[SoothingDave]

Maybe you should just put some Steeler decorations up, and then, if asked about Christmas decorations, say you don't want to destroy the team's momentum by messing with the decorations.

[NeoCaveman]

Lol!

Don't laugh.

[Larry Lucido]

My "must sees" were The Simpsons and Married With Children during the late 80's/90's. There were others but I can't remember them right now. Seinfeld is the ONLY show I record now. I won't buy the DVD's - I like to be surprised by whatever show is in the rotation.

[discostu]

Given my wife and I's completely different book addictions (we read none of the same stuff) 99% of our decorations are bookshelves.

[Sam's Army]

Now THAT's an awesome comeback!

[HairOfTheDog]

The self righteous are incapable of understanding satire when it "threatens" what they hold so dear.

That's what makes them so ripe for satire... and the cycle continues :~D

I went to high school with a boy named Kermit. I'm not kidding.

I went to school with a girl named Miss Piggy. Well, that's what we called her anyway. I'm not kidding.

[Larry Lucido]

:-)

And a Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year to you too, my friend.

[Central Scrutiniser]

I was going to spend most of the christmas season in a buddhist country this year to avoid all the annoying and tacky garbage. Didn't get a chance to though, next year for sure.
