THE THANG: After a brief fellowship lap the PAX gathered around in a circle to learn the true meaning of Festivus: a non-denominational holiday filled with one sided ridicule and mindless physical tests of strength. Also, there was an aluminum pole. • The tradition of Festivus began with the Airing of Grievances:
The QIC had a lot of problems with a select few PAX, and now they were going to hear about it! The QIC barked the ways in which they had disappointed him over the past year. After each name was read, and an appropriate insult hurled, a burpee was performed collectively by the group. And now as Festivus rolls on, we come to the feats of strength.
• 50 yard line – each PAX carried the Festivus pole to the goal line and back while the remaining PAX performed the following until it was their turn: o Mountain Climbers
o Star Jumps
o LBC’s
o Heisman Shuffle
o “Where am I’s”
o Bonnie Blairs
• Mosey to the playground – 3 rounds of max effort for pull ups while remaining PAX performs o Soccer kicks
o Peter Parkers
o Freddie Mercuries
o Dips
o Break Dancers
• Mosey’d to the concrete blocks – 1 round of 20 box jumps, 15 derkins
• Returned to the soccer field for the Ring of Festivus Fire – each PAX performed 5 goblet squats while remaining PAX held plank
