I'm a terrible procrastinator, and as a result, I have no aluminum pole. Festivus will be sorely lacking this year.

Excited for this year's Feats of Strength. I want to see @Chasing Embers clench a 300 lb. meer with a bowl perfectly sculpted to resemble Frank Costanza. :)
Considering my largest is only 7 ounces, I doubt they have blocks big enough to make one that heavy. The stuffs like heavy Styrofoam.

Had to look that up. I don't celebrate festivus.?‍♂️ Didn't even know it was a thing until this thread.
It’s up there as one of my all time fave Seinfeld episodes. Especially the part when Frank stands up and declares, “I’VE GOT A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH YOU PEOPLE, AND YOU’RE GONNA HEAR ABOUT IT!” Or something like that.

In fact, I called my folks and said the same thing to them just this morning.

I love when Jerry Stiller forgets his lines soon after that: "You couldn't smooth a silk shirt, if ya had a hot date with a babe............lost my train of thought!" rotf

So, I go get Mexican take-out, and not until I get home do I see that it looks like someone took the clamshell take-out dish and shook it hard and mixed the refried beans into the tacos and left the rice off my order, and got the sauce outside the clamshell and into the plastic bag I need for scooping the cat boxes later. What the hell is this? I said, take-out, not take it out on me. I'll never go there again ... until maybe next week when I need a quick lunch. But forgive? Never, never. And I don't even need an aluminum pole; I was born this way.

Christmas is just another holiday I don't have to spend a fortune on the kids. My ex wife got shit growing up to she made sure her kids were flush. One Christmas each kid got 32 packages. This was before my 4th was born. It was still ridiculous, but I allowed it because it meant so much to her. If it were me, I would give them a slap on one side of their heads and then tell them they were lucky I didn't slap the other side..
