Oh no, Aluminum scrap was up so high I had to scrap the pole, along with my bag of cans and my other bag of cans... So much for a secure retirement. Happy Festivus!

Re: [meteorite-list] OT: Festivus
Yes, but... Where's the aluminum pole, the clock, the odd poetry, and the unidentified ethnic music? Weary of the rampant consumerism of Christmas, Frank Costanza invented an alternative holiday with unusual traditions. The offbeat holiday struck a chord with many viewers... Festivus actually predates 'Seinfeld' by 2300 years. In the 3rd century B.C., Roman comic poet Plautus used the Latin word Festivus to refer to the wild celebrations attended by average citizens cutting loose on religious holidays. Despite this early debut of Festivus, the holiday did not appear again until 1966 when the father of Daniel O'Keefe, future 'Seinfeld' writer, crafted a unique family holiday with untraditional practices such as the wrestling of the household head to the ground. Keefe introduced the holiday into 'Seinfeld' lore in 1997, and a cult phenomenon was born. According to Keefe, the only tradition that was made up by the show's writers was the decorated Festivus pole - everything else was taken directly from his family celebrations. The best part is that Costanza created the holiday in opposition to the commercialism of the holidays, but a quick Google shows that most national Festivus celebrations are SALES sponsored by groups of merchants or individual businesses, 40% off, two days only... Ya can't get more Seinfeld than that. Sterling K.
