Ok so I know Festivus isn't actually until the 23rd, but that falls on a Sunday and we wouldn't be able to celebrate then as a community. And since we're all here celebrating Festivus together, it means the world didn't end. A Festivus Miracle!

We begin the day with The Airing of Grievances. Have at it in the comments, but do so intelligently. The afternoon brings with it PPPheats of Strength!
