for the rest-iv-us!

on this carefree day of december 23, i would like to wish a Happy Festivus to all fellow seinfeldian festivus celebrators. and regina spektor. in an attempt to shed holiday materialism, may you gather around your aluminum pole and embrace this holidazzle of a cult phenomenon. i also encourage you to get out and purchase a fine bottle of 2003 cabernet sauvignon from the pedroncelli winery, a festivus wine described as "a wine to toast grievances by, a wine to embolden your most bodacious* feats of strength."

as the head of my household, i look forward to being wrestled to the floor and pinned down in the Feats of Strength after my sushi dinner of which i will participate in the Airing of Grievances, letting those closest to me know how they disappointed me over the past year. i can't wait!

(six degrees of festivus: does anyone else find it slightly ironic that ben & jerry's came out with an ice cream called Festivus, and frank costanza, the prime source of recognizing festivus on the show seinfeld, is played by jerry stiller who has a son named ben?

...and is it also perhaps, a bit ironic that jerry stiller shares the same name as jerry seinfeld? no. probably not.)

*i believe they were mistaken, and meant jodacious.
