I love the idea of this common sense holiday. It's so American. Maybe we can spread it worldwide and make it universal. Let's spread the joy!

That one is bad enough in reruns!


I love Seinfeld but that one was lame!

I beg to differ. Festivus was a truly great episode. Makes me want to go out and get a 10-foot aluminum pole.

A Festivus for the rest of us!

Ben and Jerry Celebrate Festivus

Maybe it should be called Ben and Jerry and Jerry's.

The famous Vermont ice cream purveyors have teamed with Jerry Seinfeld to license and create a new flavor, Festivus, inspired by the comic's former TV show.

Named after the holiday George Costanza's father coined to replace Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanza, Festivus--according to Seinfeld tradition--is a time for families to gather round and air their grievances.

But for Ben, Jerry and Jerry, Festivus is also a time to celebrate the silly side of the holidays, and what better way to do that than to introduce a new bovine-based concoction.

The dairy-loving duo have whipped up a weighty holiday scoop made up of a dreamy confection of brown sugar ice cream laced with gingery caramel and chewy chunks of gingerbread.

"It's great on pies or any type of holiday desserts like apple or pumpkin pie," says Ben and Jerry's rep Kristin Balderston. "It tastes like a gingersnap and it's really good."

The limited-edition ice cream, which is on store shelves now, comes in a container featuring a cartoon based on NBC hit, complete with classic Seinfeldian holiday greetings, like, "Let's put the fun in dysfunction."



YUMMY!

Is it time for the feats of strength?

No MM, that's on the 23rd. Stay on schedule and shine your aluminum pole up. We're gonna do it right this year!

I'm a dweeb.

I'm never watched a full Seinfeld episode.

 

[modest mouse]

Oops, so excited I got ahead of myself.

Any Holiday that combines telling people how they pissed you off, feats of strength, and an 8 foot aluminum pole is bound to be exciting.

See ya the 23rd Marxist.

You're not a dweeb just short of attention. I tend to flip through and around them in re-runs myself. It's that kind of show where you recognize some part of your own silly behavior taken out to its nth degree. Watching for the full narrative is not required.

M,
If you're gonna do it right this year, that means you are fucking me for how long??

BTW - you don't have to shine your pole up just for me, I can take care of that!

Happy Festivus, Everyone!

Not to take away from this most thrilling of holidays, but not too long ago they had the rerun of the cast being the "King of their Domain". I still laugh so much whenever I see that episode.

Please remember one thing, though. If your pole as been outside in the freezing cold weather for an extended period of time, do not attempt to lick it until you have let it thaw for a little bit. LOL!

I take it that would be one of the feats of strength? Weakness is more like it. Babe, we're on....
