Happy Festivus
Way back in 1997 Seinfeld made Festivus Famous. Alexandra Casuso was only 11 years old when Festivus made its TV debut but she is now one of many people who celebrate the holiday. "My parents -- my mother is Jewish, my father is Christian -- have a Christmas tree set up," said Casuso, 22. "They think I'm crazy. But I have a Festivus pole set up in the house. I also have a huge banner hanging up that says `Happy Festivus!' And I took all the gifts from under their Christmas tree and put them under my Festivus pole." Festivus is not over until you pin CowboyNeal!
happy fetivus yall
I can't wait for the LOLcats and FAILboats sections. Honestly, it's gotten to the point that I am embarrassed to tell people I read Slashdot regularly.
Maybe. There is a Seinfeld episode with Festivus, opposed to Christmas etc. "The tradition of Festivus begins with the Airing of Grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now, you're gonna hear about it. You, Kruger. My son tells me your company STINKS!"
As soon as I'm done with the airing of grievances!!!
...for airing your Festivus grievance.
You know, I got a real problem with you and your "Festivus."
... and then they built the supercollider.
We canâ(TM)t deny the fact that war canâ(TM)t be stopped even during holiday season, because of the issue between Christmas and Festivus holidays, people have different opinions regarding to this, but in spite of this yet, we still absorb the happiness of this holiday season. Happy Festivus, everyone! One of the biggest reasons why a lot of people need to get payday loans during the holiday season is because the holidays have become so much about buying stuff, and a lot of people get fed up with it. Well, there is an alternative, and a lot of people have been doing it â" a different sort of holiday â" and it is called Festivus. Festivus was born from the father of one of the writers for the sitcom legend Seinfeld, who introduced the observance in the form of a new holiday made up by one the show's characters' father. The holiday is observed by putting up a simple aluminum pole, and then Airing of Grievances after dinner, where you basically tell everybody your frustrations. After that, is the Feats of Strength â" anything from thumb wrestling to an all out Battle Royale. A growing number of people have begun celebrating Festivus in lieu of or along with Christmas due to the dissatisfaction many have with the mainstream holidays. For more about The Festivus for the Rest of Us, check out this article on the payday loan blog. And put Festivus on your calendar for next year.
but the thumbnail of the article's picture, when scaled to width="50" height="37", looks an awful lot like an airliner flying towards an very skinny skyscraper.
I also want to know why the thumbnail wasn't scaled to the standard slashdot size to begin with.
Nothing for 6-digit uids?
