GREEN BAY, Wis. — The putting up of a nativity scene at Green Bay's City Hall has prompted a tongue-in-cheek request from a suburban man for permission to display a Festivus pole on the overhang of the building's northwest entrance.

Since they’re adding made up religions, they have to include The Feast Of Alvis. Guns, liquor, and revenge.

Wow, that is a nice pole. It has a stand!

I can still pin my boys, but they are getting bigger.

If this guy actually were to come there to celebrate festivus in public I’d be all for it (but Kramer, I think he is not..)!

A Festivus pole is just an aluminum pole with nothing on it.

What should be protested is that Festivus poles are being disguised as flag poles and being displayed year-round in front of many municipal buildings.

And don't forget to donate to the Human Fund (c/o my address)! A large donation will be earmarked for Krakatoan relief.

Festivus ping list. If you want to get off, you have to first pin me down, er, something like that.

I guess I'll have to go down to "Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms" and stock up for the holiday. I've never been there before, I'm figuring it's some sort of convenience store.

I can tell them where to stick that festivus pole too.

Grrrrrr......

Kwanzaa is out....Ron Karenga is a rapist and thug and the creator of this abomination known as Kwanzaa. No-one would object to the celebration of authentic african solsice celebrations, but Kwanzaa is about the advancement of communism.

Anti-Festivite!

[Cagey]

You’re a rabid anti-dentite! Oh, it starts with a few jokes and some slurs. “Hey, denty!” Next thing you know you’re saying they should have their own schools.

I looked it up. Seems it a remembrance to the 'god' Seinfeld.

Actually Kwanzaa was made up by Dr. Maulana Karenga, A black racist professor.

Not alway, I guess.

You'll have to take my word for it, but this is a photo I took of part of the ACTUAL festivus pole that one of our company's high-ranking finance directors has put up outside of his office for the last three years. (Company and name withheld to protect the guilty.)

Click my screen name and scroll down a ways. I gave up on trying to pin them a long time ago.

I’ll celebrate any holiday that includes a meal...
