THE THANG: After a brief fellowship lap the PAX gathered around in a circle at the 50 yard line 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 – pair up, 1 PAX carries the Festivus pole to the goal line and back while the other PAX does a high knee skip. Switch exercises at the goal line. • Remaining PAX performs the following until each team returns: o Mountain Climbers
o Star Jumps
o LBC’s
o Heisman Shuffle
o “Where am I’s”
o Football fast feet/Get down’s
o Bonnie Blairs
o Break Dancers
o Jump Squat
• Short mosey to the parking lot for 2 rounds of Flying Dutchmen, forward and backwards, 20 Merkins, 20 Dips
• Mosey back to the field for the Ring of Festivus Fire – 5 goblet squats each while PAX held plank/high knees
