Let the "Airing of Grievances" begin!

Frank Costanza: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way.

Cosmo Kramer: What happened to the doll?

Frank Costanza: It was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born: a Festivus for the rest of us!

Airing of Grievances

The celebration of Festivus begins with Airing of Grievances, which takes place immediately after the Festivus dinner has been served. It consists of lashing out at others and the world about how one has been disappointed in the past year.

Frank Costanza: And at the Festivus dinner, you gather your family around, and tell them all the ways they have disappointed you over the past year!

Frank Costanza: 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!

George Costanza: Oh, God.

No tinsel....I find it distracting!

Kruger..your company stinks!! You couldn't smooth a sheet with a hot babe......Argh! I lost my train of thought.

Cosmo Kramer: Is there a tree?

Frank Costanza: No, instead, there's a pole. It requires no decoration. I find tinsel distracting.

Frank Costanza: It's made from aluminium. Very high strength-to-weight ratio.

Mr. Kruger: I find your belief system fascinating.

When are the Festivus Feats of Strength?

It looks like a lot of us watched Seinfeld. :dj:

You want feats of strength?

Frank: George, you're forgetting how much Festivus has meant to us all. I brought one of the cassette tapes. (Franks pushes play, George as a child celebrating Festivus is heard.)

Frank: Read that poem.

George: (Complaining) I can't read it. I need my glasses!

Frank: You don't need glasses, you're just weak! You're weak!

Estelle: Leave him alone!

Frank: Alright, George. It's time for the feats of strength.

(George has a break down)

George: No! No! Turn it off! No feats of strength! (Gets up and starts running out of the coffee shop) I hate Festivus!

Frank: We had some good times

I've got a legit grievance for some of you:

THINK before making a thread title that is either ambiguous, misleading, or too short.

"who wants to ride tonight?" in the daily ride section is the worst thread title ever. If it's in Cincy, and from 3 days ago, but the most recent post was from today, I probably don't need to look at it.

FESTIVUS ISN'T OVER UNTIL YOU PIN ME!
