The Holiday for the Rest of Us

I was going to do a real Festivus post today, but for a few reasons, just couldn't. Maybe next year. At least I decorated, tho. I couldn't come up with anything for the Feats of Strength. A friend suggested that he'd bench press me--but I know he's not that strong. I couldn't come up with anything comparable. As far as the Airing of Grievances goes...well, that one was going to be easy. I have more than enough entries, but why engage in all the bitterness? So then I was going to come up with a joking-around list (targeting such foes as Robert B. Parker's editors, who have apparently traded in their red pens for a rubber stamp), but I got to busy running around today, and ran out of energy. Besides, I'm snarky enough as it is, why make the effort to be extra snarky? So, I'll just name a couple of Festivus miracles, and/or near miracles. Brian Cashman gets Mark Teixeira The Boise State Broncos lost the Poinsettia Bowl--so only another week of 24/7 coverage of the team/game from the local media before they get back to the news. I took my van into the mechanic yesterday and he fixed w/o charging me a cent. Samwise and I successfully made some ginger cookies from scratch on our first try. I passed up a chance to be extra snarky. Super-HeroHype.com posted this great fanmade live-action Thundercats trailer. Happy Festivus, everyone! (or if you celebrate one of the other holidays going on this week, hope you have a good one)
