Festivus for the rest-iv-us!

Is it almost really that time of year again? Time for me to dust off the pole to set in the corner!

I'm also writing my list for the Airing of Grievances.

It's a Festivus Miracle!

When is Festivus, anyway? I have my argument pole in storage, but I don't know when to set it out.

I wonder if Ben & Jerry's will bring back their Festivus ice cream...

Wait a minute...Festivus isn't until December 23rd! Who are you, George Bush, Sr.? Now I have to lug my pole back down to the basement...

Oh well, Pearl Harbor Day's on Friday, I can always celebrate that...

Footnote: On September 7, 1988, presidential candidate George Bush claimed that "Today is Pearl Harbor Day." It's actually in December. Dr_Paprika was probably doing the same thing by mistake-confusing September with December.
