Pre-BB

We first learned about Festivus (for the rest of us) in Season 9, Episode 10 of Seinfeld. After raining down blows upon a poor, defenseless Christmas shopper, George Castanza's father began a tradition that still impacts us today...at Flying Circus.

    Really? That COT was epic. Can't say much about the rest of it other than Biner curled his toes back on the Thigh Masters and was done!

    Great snow beatdown. I have a lot of problems with you people!
