<span style="font-size: 9pt;">SANTA ANA, CALIF.</span><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> — </span>A
Festivus for the rest of us? A convicted drug dealer in California thinks so.
He cited his adherence to the holiday celebrated on a famous episode of
"Seinfeld" to get better meals at the Orange County jail.</p>

<p class="horizontalrule1" style="margin: 0in 0in 11.25pt; line-height: 18pt;">The Orange County Register reported
Monday that Malcolm Alarmo King disliked the salami meals served at the jail,
so he used his devotion to Festivus as a reason to get kosher meals reserved
for inmates with religious needs.</p>
<p class="horizontalrule1" style="margin: 0in 0in 11.25pt; line-height: 18pt;">Keeping kosher is not one of the
tenets of Festivus, which was depicted on "Seinfeld" as celebrated
with the airing of grievances and the display of an aluminum pole.</p>
<p class="horizontalrule1" style="margin: 0in 0in 11.25pt; line-height: 18pt;">Sheriff's spokesman Ryan Burris
says King got salami-free meals for two months before the county got the order
thrown out in court.</p>
