Keeping with Festivus tradition the pole stays inside the house. However, my walls are white and the pole was barely visible in the indoor photos.

Didn't knew about Festivus' existence, but it surely does sound awesome.

We hated all the commercial and religious aspects of Christmas, and with that, a new holiday was born.
A Festivus... for the rest of us.

Such a classic!

This was From Fox news a year ago. The Festivus part starts at 3:09. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miQoKDEd590

Gretchen: "The episode was funny, but not Festivus."

That video cracked me up so unbelievably hard.

They don't want the KKK out there on MLK Jr Day, and they don't want the Neo Nazis sticking it out to the Jews on Yom Kippur, and they don't want them evil atheists out there mocking Christianity at Christmas.

I love how he just lists the last one as if it's the same as the others. Oh god, hahahahaha.

Silverman looks a lot better with the facial hair.

I appreciate Rabbi Shmuley not being an asshole like whoever that Christian guy is, it almost seems like Silverman and Shmuley could have a real discussion if that other mouthpiece wasn't there.

He was an asshole here though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17FC9SBRyU0

Hmm.

That was the President of the Catholic League (whatever the hell the Catholic League is). His other intelligent statements include saying that atheists believe in nothing and are good for nothing, and that he believes in an afterlife like "most intelligent people do" (trying to knock David).

Hahaha! I agree. But ugh, that's annoying. I'm leaning towards thinking that he's an asshole also now.

I love how David is completely sweet until provoked, and yet, he gets this bullsh*t hate. And they're just cheap shots. "We get it, you believe in nothing, and you're good for nothing. :)" (paraphrased)
