SnakeMan: TFA brought up one of those annoying popup survey requests, and I couldn't get rid of it even when I clicked the "x". "Fark you", that's my survey response.

Doesn't matter. It's a Festivus thread.

You, SnakeMan...I got a lot of problems with you!

It's aluminum. Good strength to weight ratio.

Also, for reference.

Bah, Fark doesn't like Crackle links:

This story is in my Copy of Uncle johns Bathroom reader Christmas edition!!

Such a missed opportunity Subby!

Should have been: "The true, secret history of Festivus. And yes, it's real and it's spectacular"

I got a lot of problems with people who mix and match Seinfeld references.

*evil eye*

We'll have to settle this with some feats of strength!

That's my favorite episode of Desperate Housewives!

I'm the actual neighbor of Dan O'Keefe - knew him, Larry and Mark (younger brothers). Having been in the house, having hung (and grown up along) with the O'Keefe's, I can utterly say I'm not surprised.

You can blame Mark for writing Evan Almighty.

Growing up in that place (omitted) at that time (redacted), I'm surprised we're all not *@()# @ lunatics in the loony bin.

Every day is the "airing of the grievances" on Fark's Politics tab.

Do you remember being in their home at Christmas time, did they have "normal" decorations or mention an alternative celebration (prosthelytize you)?

Okay, mind officially blown! When I was in high school, I used to hangout with Mark occasionally (even though he was a senior and I was a freshman). Usually played pool at my house with a group of people.

/don't blame you for omitting that "place"
//handsome family of boys, so very cute

I have always thought that the whole lot of you are nothing but low lifes, vagrants, petty thieves and whores.

I don't have a problem with any of you - if I did, I would block you.

I went to that same High School and Graduated with Mark in the same class, that very same year. Now I've probably opened myself up to a ton of weird googling.

I... might even know you.... *insert Craig Ferguson creepy look*

To be perfectly honest, it was a very weird house - an old 18th Century Inn. It was in a state of perpetual disrepair; the gloom inside perfectly matched the vibe and energy of an environment that would cause 'Festivus' to shimmer into being. And by shimmer I mean collectively holding your heads and headaching it into existence.

I used to go over there during grade school to badly participate in D&D games, and to generally cruise the house. Hidden rooms, a bar tucked away on the rear-halfmost portion of the house, complete with long-forgotten and very mouldy glass of beer glinting in the sunlight come to mind.

That and you wouldn't believe that all of the family members would, come fall, roam their property collecting leaves into big, black sacks the size of minivans.

It was a very weird time, the place overall was even weirder, and the School system more akin to something out of a Vonnegut novel.

Okay, now I'm scared; done my damndest to put that all behind me and now I someone might know me on fark? WT major F? It was my dear friend Charlie C. (RIP wonderful guy, gone way too young) who introduced me to the crew of Dave, Mark, Ted & Ted.

What page of the yearbook are you on? Mark scribbled over my face on both of my entries and wrote that I was the "handmaiden of the devil"; I don't know what that means :( Give me a hint as to who you are. Now I'm very curious, although I doubt you would remember a lowly frosh.

/Another Festivus miracle!

If it's who I'm thinking of, that C stands for Cargill. Sigh - another reminder just how much of a hellhouse that High School was. I remember two Teds, one who was musically inclined and whose last name also started with a C.

My yearbook is long since stuffed into someplace else - I was the senior in the parachute pants standing on a cliff looking like a grade-A 80s dork :)

Not to derail this slow thread even more, bit are your initials SS? Don't think I actually knew you, but we most likely had some friends in common. You can always email me at this user name at gmail dot com

You know who's a man? Charlie here, he's a man. You know who else? Me. I'm a man.

I suppose here is a good place to ask. The article mentions a tape recording of grievances. I swear that I heard that tape once, long ago. I thought it was on This American Life, but I can't find the episode.

Does anyone remember that, or have the tape of the grievances? It was well worth listening to.

I find tinsel distracting.

I like it when thugs of any racial persuasion get their asses beat. Unfortunately this wasn't one of those situations.
