a fill in the blank-festo

What!!!
       Write a MAN-ifesto
                                Would that not offend
                                                             Those writing a WOMAN-ifesto

Thoughtful play on words John. Ted Kaczynski and Luigi Mangione would be impressed with this clever piece by you...(smile)

Lets just have the festive festival! Perhaps not; on looking up the etymology of manifesto, it seems it is more related to the word infest! This sounds more akin to festering! In contrast, festive relates to festal feasting (with pesto?). Oh dear - how mixed up can words get? J :)

I must admire you "festicallity" raising the bar to new heights or have I slid under the table again.....
