thesandlot A Festivus for the Rest of Us!

Date: 2025-12-20
AO: thesandlot
Q: 2 percent
PAX: The Tulip, Hobbyhorse, Baywatch, Rim Fire, Tariff, Shake ‘n’ Bake, Trademark, Jag, Klinger, Maguire, Hard Knox, Gherkin, MessY FNGs: None
COUNT: 15
WARMUP: Honkers; SSH; Imperial Walkers; Hill Billy’s; Itty Bitty Arm Circles; Moroccan Nightclubs; Willie Mays Hays; Michael Phelps; Downward Dog; World’s Greatest Stretch.

THE THANG: After a brief fellowship lap around the bus circle the PAX gathered around in a circle on the sports ball fields 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.
• Turf – pair up, 1 PAX carries the Festivus pole (or coupon of choice) to the fence and back while the other PAX does a high knee skip. Switch exercises at the goal line: o Mountain Climbers
o Star Jumps
o LBC’s
o Heisman Shuffle
o Football Fast Feet/Get Downs
• 3 rounds of max effort for pull ups while remaining PAX performs o Soccer kicks
o Peter Parkers
o Freddie Mercuries
• Mosey to the blocks for a round of 10 Step Ups, 20 Derkins and 30 Dips
• Mosey back to the field for the Festivus Ring of Fire – PAX took turns doing Festivus Pole goblet squats, bear crawls, planks and body weight squats

MARY: Glute Bridges, Farmer Dan’s, Alabama Prom Dates, Nolan Ryans

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Slack migration today, Monthly/Yearly Challenge, Wreaths Across America 1/10

COT: Traditions are important. Even the silly ones. No matter what holiday you celebrate, real, fictitious, or nothing at all….QIC would like to wish all of you and your families a safe and happy December and a joyous New Year.
