Every year on my calender I notice Boxing Day (Canada) on Dec. 26. I\'ve been fascinated by this ever since I was a small child, and even though I now know it has nothing to do with pugilism, the thought of this day gets the wheels turning.
I noticed some squabbles on the board and with people in my life and- you guessed thought of combining the Festivus Airing of Grievances with outright fisticuffs.
Quite simply at the end of each year you can call someone out. That one sob whose has been fucking with you all year now has to face the music in a sanctioned bout.
Of course there would have to be rules, and that\'s where this thread comes in. I am interested in hearing your contributions on how to make this fictious holiday perfect.
Here\'s a few I thought up myself:
1. You can only call out one person per year. This is not a field day for bullies. You must choose carefully.
2. You may be called out by multiple people. Hey, if you\'ve been enough of a dick to be the most hated person on more than one person\'s list, you might need to be taught a lesson.
3. You must personally know who you call out. No hassling celebrities or politicians.
4. Same gender, no kids, no elderly. Shouldn\'t have to explain this one.
5. Not everyone gets to follow through. Logistics. Do it lottery style, then have committee make sure the winners are compliant with the rules.
6. Charge admission. Pay-per-view. Legal gambling. This can pay for itself and raise money for the community. We can also charge an application fee, again to avoid frivilous call outs.
This is so stupid it\'s brilliant. Any more ides?
