The Racine Post has a great story and photographs here on downtown Racine's holiday (don't say the C-word!) tree going up yesterday. I happened to see it arrive when I was at the Post Office. Of course, it got me to thinking more about Festivus, for the rest of us. Who do we see about erecting a Festivus Pole on Monument Square this year? Do we need a permit to perform the customary Feats of Strength and Airing of Grievances on December 23? What about the holiday parade? I have a small trailer - we can put a Festivus Pole on it, put some JTI banners on the side, and show Racine how Irregulars celebrate the holiday. I think this is a great idea - as long as someone else does all the work. Happy Festivus to all!

It's beginning to look a lot like Festivus

Ohhh, orbs... This is Racine. If we put up a Festivus pole downtown, would we have to worry about the "ladies of the evening" dancing around it to generate a few extra holiday bucks?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I think that might be an extra added attraction. Maybe we should put up a number of poles.
ReplyDeleteWho has graphic arts skills? We need JTI themed Christmas cards, too.
And if Racine doestn't like it, we get the ACLU all over them for the freedom to put up a stripper, I mean Festivus pole!
ReplyDeleteIt's practically blasphemy NOT have a public Festivus pole...why should the Christmas tree get all the face time? That is PLAYED OUT. It's time to make municipalities across the country look a lot like Festivus.
