- erects Festivus pole.
I have a bone to pick with all of you! But first, I challenge you to feats of strength.
Whenever you’re ready.
You! TriPolar!
I don’t like your hat.
I was talking about the feats of strength. But since you mention my hat, I’d like to point out that I don’t like your dislike of my hat. And you always take too long to do some things.
I’ve had a few beers. I’m ready but I don’t know about steady!
You are permitted to back out if you have something better to do, instead. I’ll understand.
No I’m still here. That was just one of my grievances. I’m ready for the feats of strength though.
BTW: That’s a nice pole. Is it aluminum?
100%. Nothing else will do.
Feats of strength? I propose we hoist mugs of beer. Whoever can hoist the heaviest mug without spilling beer all over him/herself wins.
I have a hockey tailgate to go to. Sorry.
I actually have a big aluminum pole. Lots of folks drive past our house going in and out of this largish subdivision. I keep thinking I need to put that thing out on the lawn near the road. I wonder if anybody would get it?
amateurs! the feats of strenght happens at the end of Festivus. Festivus can’t end until the head of the household is pinned.
You should do it billfish. People will either get it or you will be declared the neighborhood heathen. Win-Win either way! 
I’ve got a preacher next door and a baptist across the street so it may be dicey 
Be sure to remember the true meaning of Festivus and make a donation to the Human Fund.
Okay, the pole has been put up out next to the road.
Is the classic festivus pole supposed to have a bow on it?
Ran across this festivus tid bit:
•In 2008 and 2009, a Festivus pole was erected in the rotunda of the Illinois Capitol building located in Springfield, Illinois. In 2008, the handle of a pool cleaner was erected by 18 year old student, Mike Tennenhouse, who along with Governor Rod Blagojevich began “airing grievances” on behalf of the people of Illinois.[20][21] The 2009 display was an unadorned aluminum pole.

I bet old Rod has serious grievances to air this year 
I got a lot of problems with you people!
I have a tabletop pole. You can see it in the background.
My son and I are making Mexican food tonight and for the ‘feats of strength’, we are playing Cranium.
No fruitcake, though.
