"With neither time nor money to find our first Festivus pole, a miracle has happened letting us know this move to Festivus from Hanukkah is the right one.
Goddamn shower curtain fell on my head. And again! Freaking cheap bast**d Target tension rod. Ouch!
Replaced today, and on the way to the trash with the old one realized the potential of what I was holding! It isn't regulation length but boy does half a shower curtain rod work GREAT!
I know it's not quite the thing to do but I did find an antique and requested glass doorknob in my garden which I stuck on the top. I made a Happy Festivus sign, taped in on the pole and stuck the grand thing in a flower pot on my front porch!
Festivus! Festivus! Festivus!... "

Escapa!
If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal. It's been said that the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are expected to go for at least 2 minutes.
Give it a try but be careful...it is addictive (or share it with someone you want to frustrate)!!
