OT - Happy Festivus
"I got a lot of problems with you people!!!" - Frank Costanza
Wishing a Happy Festivus to all those out there. All I want for Festivus is Jim Harbaugh.

It's made from aluminum. Very high strength to weight ratio.

Much like Jim Harbaugh.

Frank Costanza: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way.
Cosmo Kramer: What happened to the doll?
Frank Costanza: It was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born … a Festivus for the rest of us!
Cosmo Kramer: That must've been some kind of doll.
Frank Costanza: She was.
Some kind of doll indeed!

This is the best part of the episode:

Having been through this fall and now this coaching search, I would just like to put the mod cap on for a moment and say...
December 23rd, 2014 at 8:31 AM ^
Kramer: Is there a tree?
Frank: No. Instead, there's a pole. Requires no decoration. I find tinsel distracting.
December 23rd, 2014 at 8:42 AM ^
Put me down for a cool G.

KRAMER: (Answering phone) Yeah, Go! Wha.. really? Yeah, ok. Yeah! Bye. (Hangs up) Great news! Yeah, the strike has been settled. I'm going back to work.
JERRY: What strike?
KRAMER: Yeah, H&H Bagels. That's where I worked.
JERRY: You?
ELAINE: Worked?
JERRY: Bagels?
KRAMER: Yeah. Look, see. I still have my business card. (Pulls it out, hands it to Elaine) Yeah, we've been on strike for 12 years.
ELAINE: Oh, I remember seeing those guys picketing out there, but I haven't seen them in a long time.
KRAMER: Yeah, well, H&H wouldn't let us use their bathroom while we were picketing. It put a cramp on our solidarity.
ELAINE: What were your.. demands?
KRAMER: Yeah, 5.35 an hour. And that's what they're paying now.
ELAINE: I believe that's the new minimum wage.
KRAMER: Now you know who to thank for that!.. Alright, I've got to go. (Heads for the door)
JERRY: Why didn't you ever mention this?
KRAMER: Jerry, I didn't want you to know I was out of work. It's embarrassing! (Leaves) (Scene ends)

- I hate how hardly anyone uses the tag "meta" when appropriate.
- Whoever decided Friday Posbangs should start at the stroke of midnight or sometime before the sun is close to shining, cut that shit out. Nothing's more depressing than seeing 150 posts by the time I wake up. It's a struggle to bang everyone and to get banged.
- Wolverine Optimist or whatever he called himself. Thank goodness he's gone. To the people who were backing him up because he was 14, what's the heck's wrong with you? The kid was always a headache and never should have been tricked in to thinking we cared what he was saying (hence why he's banned now).
- People who create threads based on or add posts with Kate Upton gifs during work hours. I want to look, I really do, but I can't since they're often NSFW. Quit teasing me.
- People who still use "Little Brother" or "O$U." Just stop, the meme is dead and you're only making an ass of yourself.
I'm sure I have plenty more, but that's all for now. Happy Festivus!
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:07 AM ^
1. I know when to USE 'meta' but I'm not sure what it stands for...a little help?
2. I could not agree more. How about one for the night owls and then start another in the morning?
3. Yep
4. We need clearly labeled posts, no doubt about it.
5. ALL DAY YES. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:23 AM ^
Meta doesn't stand for anything. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta#About_.28its_own_category.29
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:41 AM ^
I'm so Meta Even This Acronym

The meaning of "Little Brother" is actually debatable. Mike Hart was referring to their football program, and in that sense, it's "dead" (for now, but will be back). However, I think the phrase resonates well w/ UM people (and oppositely for Sparty) because it has a broader meaning.
MSU will always be Little Brother, as an institution. UM is the world-class, world-renouned, top-notch institution. Top law school, med school, b-school (er, Ross-school), engineering school, etc. MSU is...just another big school. A large chunkof MSU students wouldn't be able to get admitted to UM; I can't imagine anyone who gets admission to UM wouldn't also get admission to MSU.
Just about the primary reason Bucknuts and Sparty fans hate UM fans is b/c we are snobby. But of course we have a right to be, and we rub it in as much as we can. And that is why, to me, the phrase "Little Brother" perfectly encapsulates the relationship. Little brother now, little brother forever.

downvote this? spot on explanation.
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:55 AM ^
December 23rd, 2014 at 8:40 AM ^
Is it coincidence that Harbaugh's birthday and Festivus falls on the same day? I think not!
Happy Festivus everyone! :)
December 23rd, 2014 at 8:40 AM ^
Is this like Chrismukkah, my favorite fake American holiday? If so, I will publicly denounce it and squeal with glee as I privately celebrate it with my most loyal deputies, and Dennis Rodman.
December 23rd, 2014 at 8:46 AM ^
I have always loved the scene when Kramer brings in the bag of bagels to Jerry's apartment:
KRAMER: It felt so good to get my hands back in taht dough.
JERRY: Your hands were in the dough?
KRAMER: No, I didn't make these bagels. Yeah, they're day-olds. The homeless won't even touch them. Oh, we try to fool them by putting a few fresh ones on top, but they dig.. they, they test.
Also, I can't believe this episode was from the last season. Just seems like it happened much earlier in the series.
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:27 AM ^
What are those?
Those are raisin bagels.
I never thought I'd live to see that....
December 23rd, 2014 at 8:52 AM ^
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:29 AM ^
I love this blog.
BUT I STILL "CAN'T-STAND-YA!"
Happy Festivus to all and may your backsides be free of atomic wedgies.

JERRY: (Reading it) "A donation has been made in your name to the Human Fund." - What is that?
GEORGE: (With pride) Made it up.
JERRY: (Continuing reading) "The Human Fund. Money for people."
GEORGE: What do you think?
JERRY: It has a certain understated stupidity.
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:42 AM ^
- People who feel the need to post semi-naked pics of Kate Upton. There is an entire internet full of porn ffs.
- you motherfuckers that have to argue your point, no matter how dull your point is.
- NFL threads thaat end up with 30 people crying about the Lions. Yes we konw the Lions are historically terrible. That doesn't mean shit can't change.
- People actually like U2?
- ?????
- Profit

I know I'm in the minority here, but Seinfeld's brand of humor is lost on me. That said, happy Festivus, ya filthy animals.

*sigh* it was only a matter of time until someone said this. Whenever I hear people say that, I don't think they ever really watched it. Like maybe bits and pieces here and there, but they never really gave it a shot. The writing, IMO, is beyond genius -- It's why it's as legendary as it still is. In fact, I'm most impressed by the staying power. I can watch an episode today and still laugh my butt off. I suggest you watch a few episodes, in their enitrety, in a row, and see if it changes your mind. Happy Festivus!

I downvoted you for thinking you're good at hiding it.
And the screen name's pretty bizarre.
