Festivus Homework due Saturday, December 23, 2017

It’s a Festivus Miracle!  So many significant changes, a sure sign of Festivus Miracles (or The Writers at work).

Gather the family around and share the Story of Festivus.  Festivus is our heritage!

As such, we will have the Airing of Grievances and will end the night with Feats of Strength.

Also, throughout this link-heavy post will be hints about FESTIVUS GIFTS.

Our main story – HOW IS THIS NOT THE ONLY THING IN THE NEWS?!?!?!

More background to where the video came from here.

There’s a couple of ways the discussion could go – a literal (and depressing) answer to the above question and/or diving into how quickly we accept our new alien overlords.  We’ve touched on this before, but not on a podcast and I want to talk about it some more.

Wikipedia has a pretty good summary of two of the important concepts: The Fermi Paradox and The Great Filter.

Just for fun – motivational scenes set to music (aka a FESTIVUS GIFT hint and some self indulgence):

More media:

And finally, some jams (aka another hint and more self indulgence)

Stories:

  • The race
  • The coin
  • Gifts
  • This is how we die

  1. Looks like a great lineup. The Festivus will indeed be for the rest of us. My contributions will include:

    A pilot to pitch
    Where I stand on exercise for drinks and treats
    Gifts
