THE THANG: After a brief fellowship lap the PAX gathered around the circle at the 40-ish 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 merkin was performed collectively by the group. And now as Festivus rolls on, we come to the feats of strength.
• PAX paired up, each pair took turns carrying the Festivus pole not quite 40 yards and back while the other PAX skipped jubilantly alongside to make sure they didn’t drop the pole. • Remaining PAX performs the following until each team returns: o Mountain Climbers
o Soccer kicks
o Star Jumps
o Heisman Shuffle
o Bonnie Blairs
• Pull up bar – 1 round each, max effort, while remaining PAX alternated between Wall Sits and Balls to the Wall • 3 rounds of 20 Step Ups, 20 Derkins, 20 Dips
• Short mosey back to the 40-ish yard line for the Festivus Ring of Fire – PAX in the middle did Festivus Pole Goblet Squats while another PAX bear crawled to them to alternate. Bear crawl back to the circle. Remaining PAX squatted it out until it was their turn.
