Festivus

aggienaut: (holiday)

   So yesterday the megabloggers and I celebrated festivus via a an AIM chat room. This prominantly consisted of the "airing of grievances," in which it became apparent that everyone thinks I'm "not hilarious enough" and my font hurts their eyes. In contemplating this I realized the megablogging goals of general hilarity I embraced six months ago have recently taken second stage to goals of becoming the premier current even blog of UC Davis. While we are somewhat pleased by the success in this area, people getting stabbed 29 times or bludgeoned to death in restrooms probably doesn't count as amusing. As to the font claim, I laugh nefariously at all who don't recognize its beauty.

   Anyway, when I asked [livejournal.com profile] apoplecticfittz for his sagely advise on how to be more hilarious, he recommended I be more mean as mean is always funny. In response to this peace of "wisdom" I say: "Apoplecticfittz - You are so full of shit. You think you are funny and are one to talk about me? You are not and are instead lame. You do not deserve merriment this holiday season, you deserve to be mutilated by a giant squid. Die plz."
   I suppose that was pretty funny. But alas I didn't write that, he did.
   Anyway, my grievances against the other people involved were that [livejournal.com profile] rote needs to be less menshevik and more bolshevik. Less the creepy idealistic communism and more the bold and spicey realpolitik variety. Embrace the breshnev doctrine comrade. [livejournal.com profile] emd, as I said I was traumatized by that phone post you made. Learning you faked it (five months later!) has taken a great burden off my shoulders, but I mean, you don't see [livejournal.com profile] apoplecticfittz waxing himself during phone posts do you? And [livejournal.com profile] otimus, everyone else gets to make fun of you, but I don't know enough about you to participate. I'm not sure I want to know you better, but I feel I'm missing out. Give me reasons to make fun of you as well.
   In conclusion, you should all be forced to date colossal squid. Colossal squid that become extremely irritable if you are not at all times properly waxed (especially you [livejournal.com profile] incomple)!

   Also I'm about to be deported to the maternal grandparents house in Camarillo for christmas, as usual. Though its been well established that I don't eat sheep as a religious conviction, they are purportedly intent on having lamb for dinner.
   Religious conviction you say? "What religion is this" and "I thought you were a fundamentalist agnostic" you might say. Well see, if one does not have arbitrary religious prohibitions, one lacks moral foundation, and might then float freely about in a moral vacuum to be batted at like a pinata by the more principaled. When I was a wee lad these same grandparents tried to feed me their erswhile pet sheep, Blackberry, and I took a solemn vow to never touch the unholy material.

soon it will be a staple of porn stars everywhere, and people will ask "shaved, trimmed, or the 'stache?"

A porn 'stache on a porn actor's meal ticket. Have we changed the world today, Kris? I think we have.

I just noticed your icon and holy goodness that is awesome, to say the least!

Still can't believe I didn't know about this colossal squid business, craziness.

:( Poor Blackberry. I don't eat lamb either...or baby cows. Fin.

apoplecticfittz made the icon actually. The other day he declared he would christmasize an icon of anyone who asked, and indeed he did!


Colossal squidies.. WITH HOOKS! Forget alligators, cap'n hook has a sea monster that is crampin his style now! Also I bet you can make a nice calamari steak out of that thing.

Yeah, my relatives in Ecuador could never get me to eat guinea pig. I tried to explain that because I had befriended and named several of said guinea pigs before they were murdered, I could not eat them. I'm pretty sure they interpreted everything I said as "I'm American and therefore am weird and have weird and prudish eating habits." It was pure revulsion, however, that prevented me from eating the chicken foot that was sticking out of the bowl of soup they handed me.

Little brother Eric and his friend Monte were like "Kris are you turning vegetarian on us?!" and dad was like "uh, he JUST finished a steak guys"


Its more along the same lines of, where I mentioned really early on in this livejournal how when I was wee I resolved not to say bad words and so I never said a bad word until eventually after much consideration I finally repealed the decision in college. Similarly I resolved not to eat sheep. I can't break a promise to myself, even if it was silly. d=

"Festivus" shares space with Fla. nativity

By SARA KENNEDY [Salon.com]

Dec. 23, 2004 |

BARTOW, Fla. (AP) -- When a church group put a nativity scene on public property, officials warned it might open the door to other religious -- and not-so-religious -- displays. They were right.

Since the nativity was erected in Polk County, displays have gone up honoring Zoroastrianism and the fake holiday Festivus, featured on the TV show "Seinfeld."

Haha thats awesome.

former ASUCD vice president Arde Hormoziyari (sp?) was zoroastrian. He mentioned something about it and then I shocked him by being able to pronounce it correctly and actually knowing about the religion already.

I love mutton. My grievance with you is that you don't eat enough sheep.

Religious people don't eat pork and don't eat dairy with any meat. I, being an atheist, personally eat everything.
