We got a lot of problems with us people and we’re gonna hear about them!
All right, all right — all right! Enough whining! By popular demand, you say want to celebrate Festivus together in your online home away from home? OK, then we’ll do it! We can’t have you do feats of strength online — unless you count reading certain blog posts from competing sites that may test your gastric reflexes — but we can give you a chance to air your grievances! You gotta lotta problems with someone? They’re gonna hear about them! (Anonymous commenters have somewhat less latitude in this regard — but still more than usual!)
In the spirit of the season, we’ll even take a comment from Stanislaw Fiala if he cares to offer a printable one. He can take three tries to come up with something printable. Art, Dan, and Gustavo are, as always, welcome.
Remember: FESTIVUS IS NOT OVER UNTIL YOU COMMENT! You whiners.
1st complaint –
You ripped that photo off of a metal distributor’s website without attribution – weenie.
I assume that mild invective along with the complaint is permissible. I am new to Festivus, so if I have transgressed please let me know.
Fair use — to illustrate a generic concept.
It was a screen grab from a video. Here’s the link:

You have indeed transgressed mightily — but not particularly in that comment.
Festivus for the rest of us.
My grievance is one I’ve talked about before and that’s your 45 paragraph posts that bore me silly. I’ve noticed you’ve gotten a little better in the last few months and I’d like to Think it was because of me pointing it out to you and you’re welcome but you still have a long way to go but if you apply yourself you won’t end up such a bore.
No one comments on my posts!
Sometimes that happens with my posts. My mom says that’s because sometimes they’re just so good that there’s nothing that can be added to them. Not really. Maybe she’d say that if she read my damn blog. Actually Gus said something like that. He’d probably say the same thing about your stuff, Matt.
It may be a matter of your putting too little of them here. I realize that the more you put here, the less likely people may be to follow the link back to your blog home — which I hope they do — but it helps if there’s enough here to give people a sense if closure. That, or Vern (and Gus) may just be right!
I’d like to share a grief: Dan C didn’t quite nail his translation of esperanto. “A” for effort though.
What he did to Polish and Latin was no better. It’s like he used Google Translate.
Sometimes it is REALLY hard to compete with the large media outlets. Here’s an example of the LA Times coverage of Festivus, which admittedly beats ours all to hell:

Why are people trying to kill me with delicious Christmas cookies? How about some cheery holiday greens? They’re already in the spirit people . . . they’re green!
Must . . . not . . . have . . . one . . . more . . . death . . . by . . . deliciousness . . .
“a comment from Stanislaw Fiala if he cares to offer a printable one”…………… Hmmmmmm
My comments are only spiritual, therefore, subject to interpretation, therefore, not black and white, therefore, not printable, therefore, fuck you.
The time is on my side!
LOL, Haaaa, Haaaa, Haa, Haaaaaaaaaaaa, Ha, Ha, Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Haaaa, Haaaa, Haa, Haaaaaaaaaaaa, Ha, Ha, Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Haaaa, Haaaa, Haa, Haaaaaaaaaaaa, Ha, Ha, Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,
liver Disease sucks.
Sorry to hear it, if this knowledge comes from experience.
Let me join you in prayer – Stan!
Just curious cook,
Have you ever been exposed to Agent Orange in the Vietnam or any other nasty agent/vaccination of that war?
Is this Disease on the VA list?
Marry Christmas!
I have a current claim against the service and its been months while they check it out.
The VA hospital has been doing a good job on keeping me around, the best benefit I earned.
It is good to hear that they are taking care of you cook. There are lot of claims out there about the VA giving run around to veterans while they are dieing of the mysterious diseases.
Get well next year cook because I am planning to check on the council so I need you there as my moral support.
stop by sometime Stan,
It’s the place with the American flag and an American Indian running across it.
Yes I will cook.
Vern, I look forward to seeing you too.
So why don’t we make picnic in front of your house?
