Well as long as I’m not disrespecting the tradition of Coca-Cola then I guess it’s okay.
I think the question needs to be asked, how much of all that really matters, as against the tradition at this time and in this place.

Yeah, I don’t mind either way, live and let live.
Everyone, (Jono included) has every right to choose whether they do or not, for whatever reason they see fit.
I do Festivus myself.

Fark me. It’s just a bit of fun for kids.
Stop reading all these adult dilemmas into it and have a bit of fun.
It’s not gonna hurt them
There’s plenty of time left for kids to get bogged down in all the serious ■■■■ later

First world problem hey?
Tell you what’s annoying thoug?
Me. every time I use the microwave. On principle I refuse to cover whatever I’m hearing, but I stand by and wait for the first sounds of splatter.
Invariable i either get bored or I forget and walk away, oybto come back to a microwave that takes longer to clean than it would’ve taken to cover the dish.

I’ve been doing something similar with rice. Simmer on stove for 15 minutes, turn stove off and let rest for 5mins. Only problem is I forget the middle bit - to turn stove off. The amount of abuse I copped a couple of days ago from myself for doing this when I specifically told myself at the beginning to not forget to turn the stove off like the last couple of times must have had my neighbour close to calling the police.

Neighbours calling the cops on your self abuse? That’s a pretty wild session.
Trust me it was a good ten minutes of abuse and she probably hought there was someone else in my unit. Last time I dropped a kitchen knife and chipped the kitchen tile, she asked me the next day what was with all the yelling. :)
Go to the salvos with 10 bucks. You’ll get change
Let’s just say the domestic partner is not thrilled with my strategy.

I used to do this too. Pain in the ■■■■ having to clean the microwave most times.
Now I use a piece of paper towel on top of the plate/ bowl.
Paper towel goes in the bin and I can enjoy what I’ve heated without thinking s h I t I have to clean the microwave again.

Funny story there.
GF’s smartarse younger bro,… couldn’t tell him anything, . sticks an Egg in the MW, and I’m sayin’ Mate, that’ll explode on ya, … “No it won’t, it’ll be right” … “I’m tellin ya dude, I just saw this on something the other month”, … “I know what I’m doin’”
So ,… bell dings, it hasn’t gone off, … looks at me with a big shitt eating Grin, …“Seee I told you It’d be right”, … as he removes the plate with Egg on and proceeds to the bench, … "I fkn told y … BOOM!!!
All over his face and the Kitchen, screaming his head off, … .Fark I laughed.
Took a while to recover from pissinn myself, before we could run him down to he clinic to treat his second degree facial burns.
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving little prick. He was way less of a smartarse after that.
