Waco Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 FINAL QUESTION!!! TONIGHT'S PRIZE: Trumpeter 1/32 MiG-23MF Flogger-B, TwoMikes Resin Cockpit, and ZactoModels Resin Accessories (thanks guys, you rock) Okay, so it IS the ARC Holiday Giveaway...and we all know there are more holidays than just Christmas that fall during this time of year. So in addition to wishing all ARCers a very Merry Christmas, I'd like to extend a Happy Hannukah, a Joyous Kwanzaa, or whatever seasonal celebration you observe in your household. This is my favorite time of year, and whatever you celebrate, be sure to enjoy your family and friends. But for comic value, and in the true spirit of ARC silliness, it is with great pride that I announce tonight's questions regarding Mr Reeves' favorite holiday: Cause what would ARC be without an observance of a comically stupid anti-holiday? :woot.gif:/> Here are tonight's challenges: 1. In what year did the real Festivus first take place, and what writer coined the idea as a celebration of his first date with his future wife? 2. According to Frank Costanza, what was the incident which prompted him to create a new holiday over the despair of the commercialization of Christmas? 3. What event was the "Festivus Maximus," and who participated in it? 4. What is the primary symbol/decorative object of Festivus? 5. What are 3 of the traditional Festivus activities? 6. Name one Festivus "miracle." 7. What 1982 book did the original creator of Festivus write to deal with deals with idiosyncratic ritual and its social significance, a theme relevant to Festivus tradition? 8. What famous ice cream manufacturer once had a flavor called, "Festivus?" 9. What US State Capitol building has twice (2008 & 2009) been decorated with one of the primary displays of Festivus? 10. By tradition, on what date has Festivus been celebrated since the airing of the famous Seinfeld episode? 11. What was the name of the Seinfeld episode largely credited with spurring the popularity of Festivus? 12. With Festivus rapidly approaching, what modeling related grievance would you like aired? This is it folks! The final night of the 2012 ARC Holiday Giveaway! It is midnight AKST, 0900GMT. Submit your answers to the above by noon AKST on Friday, 14 Dec/ 2100GMT. All correct answers received by that time will be eligible for random drawing to win the MiG-23 Super Pack. Good luck! Thanks for participating in this year's festivities!

arnobiz Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I had no idea what festivus was so thanks for the lesson. I'm a bit puzzled by question 6 though as none of the miracles I found have a name?? Is citing them OK? Arnaud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
