A Nubblies Christmas Schindig

[Orgazmo]

Traditionally, the Nubblies Christmas Schindig has been tied in with the Festivus Celebration (held December 23). I really don't see any reason for this to change...as it's a formula that has worked well before.

In the past, the schindig has been held by Tonguegina. Again, this has been fine; however, this year there have been a few comments tossed around about others hosting the event (StabmasterArson, for example).

In the end, I'd like to see an event with an optimal value of fun whilst breaking records in the attendance column.

What would I like to see in this thread? I'll tell you what I'd like to see: Applications for hosting the Nubblies Schindig...and, along with this, some discussion in regards to which applicant would draw the best attendance numbers.

Basically...if you want to host the schindig, post. If you're interested in attending, go ahead and state where you'd rather the schindig be (and which location which you'd be more apt to show up).

Go ahead.

located in the heart of scenic fort wayne's northwest residential district, the stabbin cabin offers all the amenities of a modern domicile.

Upsides
-location (I don't have to travel)
-large, poorly lit basement
-full bar, fireplace, indoor grill
-any/all who want to stay can
-it's my house
-it's possible to get my roommate to cook for us, she'll definitely clean up afterward, and if you ask her nicely she might just do your laundry
-ferret

Downsides
-no outdoor fire
-location (most of you will have to travel)
-possible parking problems
-it's my house (I really am a huge asshole... if I don't like you, it's likely you won't be here long)
-breaking the tradition of having it at tongue's
-I'm sure there's more... a lot more

I was planning on making a post about Festivus in the next few days. I made the post a little early last year and it kept getting burried. I would still like to host it (as I have the previous 4 years, and this would be the 5th), but I have yet to really come up with any specific ideas. I mean, it's kind of already set up (feats of strength, airing of grievances, and the newly added weaponry session) but I'm always trying to make it better each year. I guess in the long run it doesn't really matter where we hold it, but I would still like to have a big hand in the festivities of Festivus since it has traditionally been my thing for the past 5 years.

I know last year we had a seperate Christmas shindig, and I believe that worked out well. I think it was a few hours after Festivus was over, and we all went over to BDH's house.

[StabMaster Arson]

after an argument that convincing, I'd like to officially conceed to tongue. congratulations.

[Orgazmo]

Is there anyone else who wants to toss their hat into the ring to challenge tongue's holding of the schindig? If not, perhaps we could turn the thread away from "where" and more toward ideas for "what" (including a potential contest).

What do you not understand? It's Festivus (from Seinfeld) and I began celebrating it 5 years ago with George Sherman and UB. Two years ago, I invited the Nubblies community, and they have come since. We do all of the rituals of Festivus (feats of strength, airing of grievances, we have a pole) and we also added a "weaponry session" in which we fuck around with various weapons that we happen to have (swords, bos, axes).

Anyway, like I said, if you want to have something seperate from this that is completely fine. I know that we've been trying to get something going at the Stabbin' Cabin for a while now.

[Mr. Blonde]

I was just asking about the feats of strenth and airing of grievances, what do you do, arm wrestle and pray for each other?

[tonguegina]

The airing of grievances is pretty much just us going around the room saying what we don't like about people and the feats of strength consist of a video game of sorts. It changes from year to year.

[BigDongedHoe]

I would host it at our aprtment but theres really not much room for much of anything.

[StabMaster Arson]

ah hell, I've had a couple people tell me they were disappointed that I pulled out of the running, so I'll go ahead and see how the votes fall... consider the cabin in back in the race.

[George Sherman]

Its a festivus for the rest of us. I've been celebrating festivus for five years now, and I will not stop, fuck christmas, its festivus.\

Two years ago the feat of strength was mario tennis, if I am think clearly, isn't that right toungegina

[tonguegina]

I'm trying to remember...I think it's been this:

Goldeneye
Mario Tennis
Mario Kart
Backyard Wrestling

Are you going to be able to join us this year George?

[George Sherman]

Let me tell you my friend, I have been working on it. I get one weeks paid vacation from work, so I have been thinking of taking that week off for festivus. Just and idea I'm tossing around. But we'll see. hopefully. I remember when it was Goldeneye, the Mario Tennis. Ya you got it.

[Mr. Blonde]

Maybe i'm just not picking this up, but I have no fucking clue what festivus is. Is it like a Nubblies Hannahka (sp?) or something?

[George Sherman]

Its not a nubblies tradition, its a Kostanza tradition.

Come on Blonde. This was even in response to one of your posts.

[Mr. Blonde]

Wow. What a fucking retard. I even remember reading that, and saying "oh yeah, i remember festivus". I've been so out of it lately, i think if i don't start getting more sleep i'm just going to straight up die.

[AcTivE]

let me know if you are going to go george

[farawayfromhere]

Well, my personal vote is for Tongue's place simply because of location and no other reason...well I guess there is the reason that I don't exactly know stab, but that doesnt really matter.

[Saint DH]

It might matter if he's a crazy stabmaster.

Upsides: Poorly lit basement?

Seems to me like all that fire would light up the place pretty well, but what do I know?

[Mr. Blonde]

whats going on with this, then?

[Orgazmo]

I find that to be a damn fine question.
