That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

When is the airing of grievances?
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Well, I do have a lot of problems with you people, but you're not gonna hear about 'em.

The casting of him and the lady who played Mrs. Costanza was brilliant. "Man George is such a d-bag," we all said when we first started watching the show. Then we meet his parents and say "oh, it all makes sense now." As he said "Divorce is always hard. Especially on the kids. 'Course I am the result of my parents having stayed together so ya never know."

Basically the casting of everyone who every actor and actress that set foot on that stage was brilliant.

Yesterday was the best Festivus ever.  I sent an Airing of Grievances card to my former boss where I let him know what a piece of crap he is and suggested he fornicate himself with a porcupine, only in much cruder and more expounded upon language, and a few hours later got a phone call with a job offer.

Truly it was a Festivus miracle.

Fuck Mason, you did this before you secured the job?  You legend.  I'm going to do this when I quit or my boss retires.

Wolf, I was already fired, but I was fired for improperly disciplining an employee I caught stealing and was reported by a customer who saw the exchange, which was shitty enough but then he fought to deny me unemployment and I throughout that process I found out he lied to me repeatedly from the beginning of the investigation.  But now he knows three things:

1) My educational background and what I am capable of (not stated in letter, but he knows)
2) That I hate him more than anything else on Earth.
3) I know where he lives.

That should scare the bejesus out of someone.  I’ll be honest, my mind was in some seriously dark places fantasizing about maiming that SOB.

FUUUUCCCKKKK OFFFFF!!!!!  The prick was caught stealing, and you got fired for inappropriately dealing with him? WOW!  I didn't even though that was a thing.  Then he fights you and lies?  The guy was stealing from him, sounds very sus mate.  Sounds like also one of those situations were you go out of your way and make the sole focus of your life in making his life miserable.  Make him regret what he's done. 

Make yourself another Festivus miracle my friend and give him more hell.  The card thing is fucking brilliant however.

I just passed a Festivus Miracle after two cups of coffee and a morning smoke.

Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are God.” — Christopher Hitchens
