This year, many seemed to have an issue with my posts and negged me. My response:
December 23rd, 2023 at 8:45 AM ^
I LOVE the blooper reel for this scene. Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfus's reactions to Stiller's line readings for this piece of dialogue are hilarious. Even the extras were frequently laughing.
I am usually a huge hater of spin off shows but, man, a "The Costanzas" spin off from Seinfeld would have been amazing. Jerry Stiller, Jason Alexander and Estelle Harris were *chef's kiss* comedy gold.
December 23rd, 2023 at 8:52 AM ^
That outtake never fails to make me happy. I watch it pretty regularly when I need a smile.
December 23rd, 2023 at 9:10 AM ^
Gold, Jerry, gold!
December 23rd, 2023 at 9:11 AM ^
Now that's a spinoff I would watch.
December 23rd, 2023 at 6:47 AM ^
Hey. Pass the meatloaf!
Merry Christmas too to all the dudes, dudettes, dudelas, et al.
December 23rd, 2023 at 6:47 AM ^
My grievances….
1. We don’t have enough 5 stars
2. We only have beaten OSU 3 times in a row.
3. Our coach buys hamburgers and pets stray dogs. Harbaugh should be fired.
4. The heated seats in my car just don’t get warm enough.
Man I feel better!!
December 23rd, 2023 at 12:30 PM ^
I am of that age where I run extra errands in the car just to enjoy the heated seat for my back.
December 23rd, 2023 at 6:55 AM ^
Thamel, it's Christmas but you can still go fuck yourself.
December 23rd, 2023 at 8:00 AM ^
Yep. Not a word about signgate since OSU win. It was never about signs. He can sure go fuck himself.
December 23rd, 2023 at 2:05 PM ^
Not a word? Have you not listened to OSU fans?
Edit: never mind, you were taking about a lack of recent BS from Thamel.
December 23rd, 2023 at 6:56 AM ^
I challenge anyone who graduated before 1981 to the "Feats of Strength™️."
December 23rd, 2023 at 9:28 AM ^
you go first
December 23rd, 2023 at 11:18 AM ^
You think you’re better than me? It’s go time! Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum!
December 23rd, 2023 at 7:01 AM ^
I started celebrating early with North Peak Brewing Company Blitzen Festivus Ale last night.
Grievances? The BIg10, NCAA, Petitti, and journalists without character or integrity.
Rain instead of a white Christmas is a minor grievance.
December 23rd, 2023 at 9:29 AM ^
"journalists without character or integrity."
Except for Bacon and precious few others, redundant.
December 23rd, 2023 at 10:55 AM ^
Tremendous grievance with anyone quoting anonymous Big 10 coaches as if it is ok to quote anyone ever without context.
December 23rd, 2023 at 10:58 AM ^
I'm with you on the white Xmas, always prefer it. But it's raining like 6 of 7 days, so would probably be over a foot of snow, which, uh, no thanks lol
December 23rd, 2023 at 7:23 AM ^
A reminder to give this holiday season:
December 23rd, 2023 at 8:10 AM ^
Hey Day, my son tells me your PI firm STINKS! YOU COULDNT SMOOTH A SILK SHEET IF YOU HAD A HOT DATE WITH A BABE... lost my train of thought...
December 23rd, 2023 at 8:17 AM ^
The Story of Festivus
December 23rd, 2023 at 9:35 AM ^
That's gold, Chatster, gold!
December 23rd, 2023 at 8:19 AM ^
“…and as we rained blows down upon the Buckeyes, I realized there had to be a better way.”
”That must’ve been some football game.”
”Oh, it was…”
December 23rd, 2023 at 8:24 AM ^
I got grievances! First time ever.
1. The organizers of Corum’s Somerset toy drive! What the EFF!? You couldn’t have planned for anywhere near the correct number of people??? Call up that actuarial firm and fire them!!! Then fire Bakich! Justin Feagin. Then call that planning committee of the event back and FIRE THEM AGAIN!
2. The M Den. All of 2023 you have been sold out of almost everything and anything anyone in my family wanted! It’s like they don’t want women and children to shop there at all and your favorite player has to be Corum, JJ, or Harbaugh.
See you all at the Feats of Strength.
December 23rd, 2023 at 8:35 AM ^
1. Trustage
end
December 23rd, 2023 at 12:30 PM ^
It must be a Christmas month miracle. I have not seen the Trustage add blocking up my entire screen since early December!
December 23rd, 2023 at 8:41 AM ^
Hey! No bagel no bagel no bagel!
And eff you NCAA for not allowing cream cheese you Grinchly mothereffers.
December 23rd, 2023 at 10:48 AM ^
As someone who cleaned Northwestern’s football stadiums Sunday mornings at 7 am after football games. You have no idea how much these rules messed with me. I spent 3 hours on a Sunday morning cleaning food garbage and the very occasional diaper out of the seats and when I was done I could have so many ounces of orange juice and a dry bagel for my efforts. Anything more would have been a violation.
December 23rd, 2023 at 8:51 AM ^
Nothing like texting friends today to tell them my problems with them and genuinely are confused. It’s a Festivus for rest of us
Anyone else find tinsel distracting?
December 23rd, 2023 at 9:47 AM ^
I do, so much so that I stopped using tinsel after seeing the Seinfeld 'Festivus' episode years ago.
December 23rd, 2023 at 10:32 AM ^
I love tinsel. My wife hates tinsel. Thus we have no tinsel.
December 23rd, 2023 at 8:04 PM ^
Funny how that works.
December 23rd, 2023 at 10:36 AM ^
Ah, the strips of lead tinsel my grandparents used when I was a child may have explained a lot. Yes, easily distracted but maybe lead poisoning will do that to you.
December 23rd, 2023 at 3:15 PM ^
Lead tinsel? So you mean, it WASN'T edible, like I told my little brother?
December 23rd, 2023 at 12:33 PM ^
It depends. If it just clumped on your tree, ye! If you take the time and unstrand it, place it on the tree one piece at a time, it can look great. Not too much!
December 23rd, 2023 at 2:14 PM ^
Are you a cat?
December 23rd, 2023 at 8:54 AM ^
Damn it, I can’t play this game. I have no problems with any of you people! You helped our family so much and gave us a glimmer of hope during this difficult time.
so I’ll air out my frustration over the bowl committee. You have a criteria of winning your conference and getting an autobid into the playoffs, that apparently start next year. FSU should be in the playoffs.
December 23rd, 2023 at 8:55 AM ^
Some of you are whiny, snivelling, pathetic poopy heads. So many on this blog are such such such good people with such such such good morals. I hope I can be as good someday. Anybody that's tattled in the moderator action sticky about some minor moral offense or somebody not following some unwritten rule is a word I can't say because they'll tattle in the moderator action sticky, but think of the most offensive possible word and know I'm joyfully applying that word to you and I love that word for you. It fits like the warm cozy sweater that I'd love to tie around your neck and drag you into traffic with. Merry Festivus. Am I doing this right?
December 23rd, 2023 at 11:27 AM ^
That was great !!! --- except for that awkward "with" dangling like a whatchamacallit in the cool breezes. It should read "with which" you'd love to drag us into traffic.
Carry on .... 😉
December 23rd, 2023 at 7:57 PM ^
You'll be the first
December 23rd, 2023 at 9:09 AM ^
My grievance,
1. NCAA
2. B1G (league, coaches, schools are all a bunch of bitches)
3. The winter weather in Michigan
4. People who post or comment about Michigan basketball who have no clue about college basketball (see the majority of the game threads).
Thankful for,
My great family, my health, Michigan athletics and the great people on this blog.
December 23rd, 2023 at 9:14 AM ^
Stop crying and fight your father.
December 23rd, 2023 at 9:28 AM ^
I’m getting the pole out of the crawl space!
December 23rd, 2023 at 9:20 AM ^
You people need to remember that, in the old days before there was Festivus,
...there was Festus.
December 23rd, 2023 at 9:20 AM ^
Unfortunately, I have so much of this going on among family and friends over the I/P question that I would like to beg for a day off from the airing of grievances.
December 23rd, 2023 at 9:41 AM ^
1. sports journalists in heat for Alabama making predictions based on the past while ignoring this year's actual performance
2. decline of civilization
3. that we are in the beginning of the Apocolypse
4. 99% of elected officials in DC and Lansing
December 23rd, 2023 at 9:47 AM ^
To: Paul Thamel, Pete Finebaum, Tiny Pettiti, Jim Stupidton, Cryin’ Day, Bert Bielema, Whinin’ Walters, Matt Tule, and everyone else seeking the ruin of Michigan’s soul: GET BENT.
Happy Festivus.
December 23rd, 2023 at 11:28 AM ^
For my Feats of Strength, I'd like to beat the shit out all of the above people with my Festivus Pole. It's made from aluminum, which has a high strength to weight ratio.
