More Holidays
Happy Guy Fawkes Day everyone. I know none of my readers are English (although some affect the accent every now and again, including myself), but I am a history buff, so we are celebrating.So, therefore it's Bonfire Night.
Be safe and light the BBQ and sing this song:
- Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
- The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
- I know of no reason
- Why Gunpowder Treason
- Should ever be forgot.
- Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
- To blow up King and Parliament.
- Three-score barrels of powder below
- To prove old England's overthrow;
- By God's providence he was catch'd
- With a dark lantern and burning match.
- Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
- Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

I don't know if having a head for useless knowledge comes in to play today....but I could have done without this celebration. MOM
Oh, come on, it's fun. It's like 4th of July. Celebrate your country by blowing up a small part of it.
Good use of a Simpson's quote.
I so want to actually celebrate this one day. I love burning things.
Roomie and I had a little bonfire celebration and burned a few things. It felt and smelled really good.
There's a big reference to this day in the movie V for Vendetta (a great movie). And I've always wondered what it was about. Thanks!!
No prob!
