Happy Festivus

by Bryan

Yes, today is the celebration of the very untraditional Festivus.

If you celebrate I hope all of your grievances were aired and the airing did not involve the Festivus pole being used in an inappropriate fashion.

2 Bryan { 12.23.08 at 12:00 pm }: I’m a committed respecter of the NODWISH group to avoid having to balance the various and sundry celebrations among the factions in my family, and among friends.

In the South, Jill, it is baking time, as it is cool enough to enjoy a hot kitchen. It is also prime time for harvested pumpkin, apples, and cherries in the Northeast.

Being posted doesn’t always mean they are “aired”, only that they have been put in a different medium. Anymore you just about have to destroy something to get anything aired, which is pretty dangerous. Not as dangerous as messing with the essential fabric of the universe, but still…

Mark Twain

"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

John Rogers

"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it."

Sir Terry Pratchett
